We were not scheduled to start on Friday but thanks to BMI which changed the flight schedule less than a month from departure date. They changed out flight from Heathrow to Naples from 11am to 9am. Travel from Belfast and reaching Heathrow was impossible on Saturday and therefore we had to start a day early.
Again thanks to http://www.hotwire.com, I was able to book 3*/4* Holiday Inn for £38 for a night. One word of caution, there are 3 Holiday Inns near Heathrow and different Hoppa buses to reach the hotel. So, make sure you know your destination hotel well and the confirm the Hoppa bus no. with your hotel as travelling with 2 kids was always going to be a risky affair unless you have done your home work well.
The hotel was a classic one to start the trip. We got a room on the 6th Floor and reached hotel at 10pm just in time for a good night's sleep. These hotel people were so good that they had a cot for my 1 year old but the still one like to sleep cosily between the mom and dad so the cot was a waste of space.
Ronnie had his own bed and was very exicited and ready for his first trip he could remember for his lifetime!!!
