Long layover at Gatwick — whoo hoo! (-:

Deanna Keahey  ·  May 17, 2008  ·  2 Comments

I’m setting myself up for a killer schedule on my Europe trip this summer. I’ve got a long red-eye on the way to London Gatwick, arriving there about 630am. Then a long layover in London. Then another red-eye on the train/boat combination getting to Ireland.

And I couldn’t be happier about it!

This is the perfect opportunity to try out the Yotel at Gatwick. They’ve got mini-hotel rooms that you can book by the hour. Instead of curling up on a bench, artfully wrapped around your luggage, you get a small, secure private room — Real bed! Desk with free wi-fi! SHOWER! :-)

This is something I’ve been wishing more airports had. It looks so cute, I can hardly wait! I’ll post a candid review with photos once I’ve been there.

I’m heading to the Emerald Isle for our women’s tour of Ireland this summer. Yes, there are easier ways to get there, but hey — I get to take planes, trains, and boats, and try out a Yotel all on the same trip. Sounds like a travel adventure to me! :-)

    I have been to London several times but never to Ireland. I assume you will be talking about it when you get back along with some great picures.

    Hi Michelle -
    You bet! I’ll certainly be posting about it, and taking lots of pix, though I can’t swear to them being great. (-:

    Actually, I’m working on a video about Ireland now, using some material I got last year. I’m hoping to get it up in the next couple of days…

    Thanks for writing! - Deanna.
