Stage 1 - 10th January, 2014

As they say a long journey starts with a short step! Well our short step has been taken - we have arrived at the Sofitel hotel at Gatwick North Terminal for an overnight stay. The flight to Dubai is at 09:35 tomorrow morning so not need to be up too early!  Just off for a meal in the Chinese restaurant in the hotel - crispy duck for the first time for months.
