11th November 2008

Left home for the airport around 1300 and tried to get an upgrade on the flight but it would have cost around £3000, we had lunch at Carluccio's before going into the departure lounge.  We managed the amount of luggage we packed quite well, mine was 21 kg and Helen’s was 17 kg.  The check-in clerk was really nice it turns out he is getting married in Palermo, Italy, so we got talking about weddings in Italy.  In the end our flight was delayed by two hours.
