What will go wrong this time !
... An early morning start with everyone appearing on time, a slight problem in the last half a mile getting to the airport as the road was closed !!!! So after a detour around the countryside we finally arrived at the airport.
No bags to check in so straight into security. Now Linda why are you the only one that needed a full search, what are you trying to smuggle out of the country !!! I am sure you were glad that they did not quite go as far as the plastic gloves ...
