Arran Trip Travelblog
« on: September 18, 2020, 07:41:04 am »
Morning has broken, cool and clear. The children are literally singing as the car is packed and the dog is eyeing me with much suspicion at the sight of the suitcases. She suspects it means kennels and this time she is right.

We leave at 8.15 to make the 9.25 check in time at the port of Ardrossan. My wife believes this to be necessary whereas I know we will be there before 8.45 if we leave at this time but it is a battle not worth having. I am going to for my the home to Ferry record and savour the dark, smug glow of vindication when we arrive ridiculously early.

More bulletins to follow throughout the morning.

There's a big Asda next to the ferry terminal. It's handy if the ferries are running late or you're too early.

'It is not a battle worth having' - lol!  I can relate.

Fantastic idea with the blog.  I'll add to it when I arrive tomorrow.

She has the half to be worried about and wants to make sure I suppose you just have to go with it ED.

A splendid sailing. Hot sunshine. Brodick Castle Country Park. A picnic.
Arrival at Auchrannie Resort. Exploring. Outdoor playground. Now going swimming. Then Cruize for dinner.

What a thoroughly splendid day so far. Everyone is happy.

We have a suite 2 bedroom suite. The kids have their own room with bunkbeds and they are beyond excited about that. Each bunk bed even has its own telly.
