Manchester Airport

24 OCT - It rained all night here at the Manchester Airport. Let up this morning at 09:30 when we headed over to the Cargo Facility to drop off the moto at Servisair Cargo to be processed for shipping on Air Transat on Monday.

Once at the cargo facility I provided them with all the documents for shipping and clearing customs. Plus I gave them copies of the ICAO and Tranport Canada documemts showing that are 'safety vests' with CO2 cartridges can be on the plane.

I removed the mirrors, the GPSs, and packed our riding gear, minus the jackets,  and tools in the panniers. Hopefully the bureaucrats at U.K. Customs will follow the ICAO regulations and the bike and all our gear will arrive with us in Toronto on Monday afternoon. Fingers crossed, toes too.

We have Saturday and Sunday to explore the area but transport will be by bus.

This is the 80th day since leaving home. If all goes as planned I'll be home on 10 November. And just short of 12,000 miles thus far.
