... 8217;aeroport’. So, armed with the entire email chain and print outs of proof of payment we head over…Alizeti pretty much loses it being tired after now 23 hours travel under her belt.

I’ll abbreviate this but it took many calls and pulling up bank statements of 3 July for us to get our flimsy computer print outs. We didn’t, however, have to pay the 15 USD balance that had initially been requested by the airline.

SO, it ...

Meanwhile I'm here for two weeks and I feel quit familar with my place (even it's only a temporary one), my colleagues and all the other new things in my life.

That's why I also will reschedule my wife's and son's flight from 03.10. to 31.10., cause at the moment I live in my bosses house, cause the 1st was sold by the owner and the new will be prepared the next couple of weeks.
