My mum asked me towards the end of last year about going with her and my dad to Cyprus, I think they thought I needed cheering up either that or the thought of two weeks alone together on such a tiny Island was too much to bear. I asked if I could bring some children with me, I have a few spare and they like to be let out occasionally, I was promptly told NO! Anyway I persisted, as the thought of two weeks alone with my mum and dad on such a tiny Island was too much to bear, and Melissa is being smuggled out of the country.
We booked the tickets and hotel on line, is there any other way now? And my usual pre-holiday anxieties kicked in immediately. How do we get to the airport, how do we get to the hotel from the airport, what will the accommodation be like (actually this doesn't bother me too much unless we are put on the top floor and the lift is broken). Easyjet, bless em, have not made my anxiety any easier. I couldn't print off the hotel voucher that their booking reference says YOU MUST PRINT THIS AND TAKE IT WITH YOU (404 error on web page), 2 e-mails ignored and a phone call (with 2 weeks of occasional twinges, visions of having to explain to my daughter that a park bench is ok for the night) later and I have now closed this potential problem. Now what if they have double booked...
My mum and dad now assure me they now have valid passports and I am busy printing stuff of the web, most of which will just be extra weight in the suitcase and completely not needed.
