You are obviously not quite over it yet, as you did a random phone call to me this morning, nice to hear from you though.Originally Posted by Pigmy Pony
Just got back this morning Barry - the holiday was great, it's the getting there/coming back that does my head in. Outbound flight nearly an hour late, then a 2 hour wait at Burgas airport's baggage reclaim while they got the 'conveyor belt' to work.
At least we got our luggage - the shaved monkeys at Manchester airport had failed to load two trucks of luggage, so about a third of the passengers didn't get their luggage until Friday, a four day wait. One couple we spoke to only had the clothes they were standing in and had to do a big clothes shop to tide them over. Then when returning, their cases, packed with their original clothes plus their purchases put them over their weight allowance, and so had to pay extra - bloody cheek! I believe they were being compensated £100, so that's ok then
Oh and the return flight was delayed by a couple of hours, so we arrived at Burgas at 10.30pm, and got out of Manchester airport at 6am. And that was with a two hour time difference
Still, mustn't grumble

as long as the holiday is good it's always worth the grief of the airport and the flight.
It's just there's not a really good reason why airports and planes have to be so wank.

I did follow that call with the intended one to your phonebook next door neighbour (Aiden LK), and it just went on voicemail... funny how when you dial a wrong number they always answer - can't remember where that truism came from.

Found out this morning that one of my "grandaughters" (inverted commas because she's not a blood relation) has graduated with first class honours from a London university.
Although she is not a direct relative, I feel so proud of her.
