[17:40 EST]

As this was the last full day of our holiday, Linda wanted to 'finish off' her shopping. So we drove down to the Mall at Millennia and spent some time (and cash) there. We also wanted to get to the JC Penny, so drove back to the Florida Mall. The weather was much better today, so we managed to get the top down on the car for part of the journey.

We got back to the hotel with a couple of bags.

Note: there's nothing for me in there!

Once back in the villa, the plan was to have a quick dip in the pool (our first time in the pool) then start packing.

However, on getting in, I had opportunity to check my phone. This was sitting there in the text inbox.

After a 60 minute on-hold for Virgin I got through to a virgin rep and were told that the flight has been cancelled for the 18th and will fly again (as VS116) on the Monday. The Monday's VS016 will also fly. We'll be able to claim reasonable hotel costs for the extra couple of days, but sadly the villa we're in appears to be already booked.

So we'll still be packing, but just not heading to the airport quite yet. I'll try to get to the Terre Verde reception tomorrow to see if they have anything available for the next couple of days.
