At 02:00 UK time I was taking off from JFK New York Airport, by 12.50 I was sitting in my seat in block 203 slightly dazed.
I took early retirement last September and promised my wife a trip to NY at around my birthday but panic set in when I found out the date and time of the final.
But with the help of a friend we were met at Heathrow and my wife was taken home. I then picked up my car, drove to Harrow on The Hill, caught the tube, met up with my son and rounded off an extremely pleasant week.
Special thanks to Kuwait Airlines for landing 1 hour ahead of schedule!!
