This is just a place marker ready for our arrival. We got our Euros last Monday and I had my holiday haircut that day too. Our online booking came up today, so I've printed our boarding passes.
I'll hide away from this topic now and resume after we get there. Hopefully there will be quite an explosion of feedback shortly from the intrepids who go out before us.

You and Vera are the headliners, the rest of us are just the support acts 😉

Not at all Kev. We tend to supply the quantity, the rest of you the quality - sort of small but perfectly formed. I often wish I could write like so many of you.

I didn't know where else to put this, but I really need to say enormous thanks for the current feeds from all the present visitors. It has been such a pleasure reading all of them and (with luck!) they've only just started, except Kev who has bridged the previous week with exceptional skill.
There aren't many on the list for next when we arrive this coming Friday, what a standard you have set for us to try and follow.

Is Vera on packing duty yet?

The packing was sorted out days ago, just creaseables held back to go in last minute. I had my holiday toenails this morning, so there’s nothing else except to zip everything up and weigh them.

We’re in Cuba at the moment, WiFi is scarce,government owned and expensive, It appears there has been a steady amount of posting over the past couple of weeks, looking forward to catching up next week. Footnote, Cuba great but not Skiathos.

Well here we are at Birmingham airport, gate call due in about quarter of an hour.
This should be our last trek to this airport as we have booked through Bristol next year - 20 minutes drive instead of 2 hours.
Getting through here is more of a pain than last time. I can’t handle the self service bag drop, so a nice lady has to help. She completed the help by taking our cases to wherever they go next.
Getting to security was ridiculous. It used to be crocodiles, but they’ve changed it to snakes and ladders. Set off along the top row, then ladder fast forward a dozen rows, then snake back the the beginning and crocodile again. Repeat several times. Then arrive at a double width queue and take ages again. This time I got through the scanner unscathed, but Vera was body searched, a first for her.
W H Smith still require me to scan my boarding card to pay 80p for a newspaper and this time just for the hell of it I complied - there was an enormous queue of non complyers so discretion saved me more heartache.
See you later. I’ve done my last wee before 38,000 feet over Macedonia. Next stop Skiathos.
