An exciting day!

Goodnight Gally, sweet dreams

Just popped my 'help-me-to-get-over-the-jetlag' pill in the hope that I can have a second full night's kip - goodnight

Brilliant I am looking forward to meeting you all, no we wont change the date anyway my DD has the day off work so I can come so if they changed the date I would not make it. I have forgotten who is coming and who isn't.

Yes, I'm flying up from Exeter with ga and I can't wait.Don't change the dates because we've bought our tickets!!Mad or what ?

Are you coming to the Edinburgh meet up grannylin ?

Thanks glass.Sure my trip to Edinburgh soon will be equally exciting

Grannylin thats is great news your Dh landing a new job congratulations

That sounds wonderful, Grannylin!
Stansgran, you are quite right. I do the Geneva-Manchester run several times a year, (I was there in August for my grandson's wedding) and I have noticed that the Swiss side is much more relaxed. I don't use make-up, so I don't have any problems with hand luggage.
I went over in May to bring my sister back and I had arranged wheelchair assistance for her at both ends. No problems in Geneva, but when she got back to Manchester she was told she would have to wait as they had only two wheelchairs and three requests.
I hate Manchester airport, but it is the only one that is convenient for me. Last time I was there I put £2 in the computer and it didn't work. When I tried to find Customer Services it was tucked away at the very furthest end of the Departure lounge. It was unattended and the courtesy phone did not work. I thought it was ridiculous that an international airport had no easy access to Customer Services. I sent a complaint and got a stupid reply, saying I could get my £2 back if I rang a premium phone number - from France.

Sounds fantastic Greatnan.I haven't had an exciting day but my OH has. After 3 years as a GOM, he has landed a fantastic job at the age of 65 and has flown off today to ...Madagascar!(It's only a week and he is coming back....I think!)

Greatnan last time I did the Manchester- Geneva flight I found that the customs in Geneva weren't the slightest bit bothered about my makeup-contact lens liquid inside my hand luggage but Manchester made me take it out of its transparent bag buy one of their special ones(two for a pound)and then put it all in a machine. Avoid the woman with the fiercely dyed black hair.
There are also no seats available at the Manchester Easyjet check-in if you arrive early so if you come off a train with time to spare loiter somewhere other than Easyjet.

Ahah - should be loads

All sounding wonderful, greatnan. Nothing like having -loads- a few exciting adventures in the pipeline to look forward to.

I will be in Switzerland next week for three weeks, then I am doing a house swap to the Perpignan area and spending a couple of days in Barcelona.
Always present a moving target!

Wonderful! gangy is right, planning is all part of the excitement.

Sounds fantastic Greatnan. I think that half of the enjoyment is in the organising of going away. The looking forward to it is also pleasurable.
Staying excited over your adventures will keep you young!!

greatnan I am already looking forward to you posting about your travels.

Enjoy!
