MrGrumpy goes on Holiday

This morning MrGrumpy and LittleMissNaughty were getting ready to go on holiday.
Firstly MrBarneyDog went to his 5* destination with Mr and MrsDangerous, then MrGrumpy loaded up the car and they headed to the airport.
Parking went smoothly, they found the long stay parking and went to get the shuttle bus to the terminal This time they remembered to write down the car park and row, which makes it much easier to find the car on return.
It was easy for them to find the MrRyanAir queues, they were the ones with lots of grumpy looking people waiting.
The queues moved at a glacial pace, how can it take so long just to check peoples bags in,  it was a good job they had left plenty of time. Once the bag was checked in, the next challenge was ensuring that they got through security without a problem, they were well prepared, belts off, all pockets empty, no liquids, laptop out... no problems.
The flight was due out at 2:15pm, they had time for some lunch, off to MrFrankyAndBennys. After lunch LittleMissNaughty required some retail therapy and MrGrumpy found some iPad cases at a good price.
MrGrumpy had put his watch (which was still on PST) into his rucksack and was not aware that is was now 1:50pm, the gate for MrRyanAir opened at 1:30pm and was now on Final Call as they strolled towards the gate. Lucky they were not quite the last to get on the plane, but late enough to give them little choices on seating. They found two asile seats, but a row apart, not bad given how late they had boarded.
The flight on MrRyanAir was better than they expected, yes very basic and a bit chaotic but not that bad really. The approach and landing was quite bumpy, this made Little MissNaughty look a little green, but it was better then the last time when they landed with thunderstorms all around.
The transfer and check-in was quick and efficient, it was not long before they were in their apartment, LittleMissNaughty unpacked and MrGrumpy attempted to get all the technology online. This proved a little more of a challenge, the visible network from inside was not the correct one, the correct one was only visible from the terrace and even then a little hit a miss, there would be no streaming video on this WIFI.
They then realised that it was almost 9pm, they needed to rush or they would not make it to the Spar in time to get some supplies, without Wine, Beer and crisps how would they survive... They were just in time, the doors were being closed only moments after they arrived.
Now it was time for them to relax and start enjoying their time together. (Even if LittleMissNaughty wanted to watch the UK soap).
