I left my boarding pass in the toilet in the airport one time and I didn't notice it was gone for ages, it was found and they were calling my name out for ages but they pronounced it wrong so I didn't hear it. The not hearing my name called out in airports has actually happened a few times.Bonnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16010986736813010003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840706572296442429.post-35380547114019394372008-01-08T12:43:00.000+00:002008-01-08T12:43:00.000+00:00I love Disneyland paris!

I have a mini panic each and every time I check the tickets and pports, there's never time for anything, all the queueing. And I find Aer Lingus are generally less than helpful!Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08988685736635515808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840706572296442429.post-41982196537003102462008-01-07T09:16:00.000+00:002008-01-07T09:16:00.000+00:00Oh you're so right about the airport......the fear...Oh you're so right about the airport......the fear is horrible.aquaashohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16282103430311472327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840706572296442429.post-87161311114109700102008-01-07T05:55:00.001+00:002008-01-07T05:55:00.001+00:00There's nothing worse that something going wrong i...There's nothing worse that something going wrong in Dublin Airport, there's something about the sterile nature of it and the throngs of people that just instil pure fear inside you at the drop of a hat.<BR/><BR/>I'd a disaster in 03 going to Oz. Had my visa lined up through Trailfinders only to discover when I got to check-in that they'd fucked it up and backdated it 12 months. Under Oz law the last airline to check you in gets fined for allowing an alien into the country. Aer Lingus had been hit the week before and were less than helpful.<BR/><BR/>Cue panicked phone calls to a travel agent........Tiberius Gracchushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00331020531390670055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840706572296442429.post-21581608608788854862008-01-06T14:37:00.000+00:002008-01-06T14:37:00.000+00:00Oh God, oh God.

I'm so glad they turned up. <BR/><BR/>I learned this lesson from my husband, because I used to lose my wallet so often that every time I looked in my bag and couldn't see it immediately, I'd freak: Look first, then panic. I also employ it when I can't find my wandering daughter in Tesco etc. Ik's so hard to do, but you know panicking and crying make it worse (I lost hte car in Dundrum before Christmas - took me about forty minutes to find where I'd parked - had to stave off tears then too, the stupidity!).Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08988685736635515808noreply@blogger.com
