A member of the Facebook Old Boomerangers Page has just posted this video taken from on board an aircraft coming into Skiathos. A really good HD video which shows off what it is like to land on the island.

Thanks, Woody. I could have done without the thumpy soundtrack! Did you notice how it seems to get much faster the closer it gets to touchdown?

Dennis, I hope that you have a good flight on Friday and your arrival is not affected by the thunderstorms mentioned in the weather forecast posted on TA by SL1. Bob

Thank you for that Bob, NOT! I have been watching the forecast on my iPhone for a week now and it says thunder, lightning and bedlam for Thursday, rain for Friday. That's the only weather which affects landings (or rather, NOT landings) at Skiathos, so I have been determinedly not thinking about it and about my complete and utter fear of flying. So thanks for reminding me NOT!
Actually, I spoke to Angela earlier this week and she said it wouldn't do that, only on the mainland. I really want to believe her.
I wonder why we haven't got an appropriate topic for getting all bouncy in anticipation of going? We've got the Who's going in 2015 etc, and the Feedback for 2015 etc. I've got my holiday countdown ticker in my signature, but that really doesn't tell you how jumpy up and down and rubbing my hands with glee and all that stuff I am, and have been so for days now. I really think we should have a "Can't wait for Friday" (and a "It's almost Thursday and that feels like Friday") (and a "Well, if it's that close, I reckon it's started already").
Would that come under the heading of "Off Topic"?

You stick your feelings where you want Dennis, but General Discussion would be appropriate. have a great trip on Friday and enjoy your holiday. Can you beat Amy's feedback is what I am thinking?

Dennis, it looks like the weather forecast was right. Looking at the Old Boomerangers FB page, there is rain and storms in Skiathos this morning. Hoping it will quickly get better for your visit.

Yes, Angela (Villa Maria) has just emailed me to say thunder and rain and they've been swimming in the rain in their pool. She has promised good weather for tomorrow. My iPhone weather App is clever - shows rain and lightning...
