Tenerife '25 Day 1

21/5 Wednesday 

Holiday with immediate and extended family. My family have been going most years for quite a few now. I went in 2012 and haven’t been back, for whatever reason. Last year I realised I could have spent a week with my toddler relative, and missed out, so I made a plan then to come this time, and plucked out a few activity ideas we could get involved with. 

This year there was absolute chaos at the airport. Our plane, like many others, was hugely delayed due to a Max Plane GPS system issue in the Ryanair planes, apparently. The planes weren’t up to scratch, we were also told, although whether that was in relation to a separate issue we don’t know. Limited communication. We boarded the plane at Manchester Airport then had to get off again. Departure time was 12:30pm. We weren’t in the air til 8:10pm, including 2 hrs sat on the plane on the tarmac. 

Made it to the Los Claveles resort about midnight if I recall. 

We’re hoping for some reimbursement from Ryanair. Those comedy Instagram posts quickly lost their humour.
