    I remember that airport - we attended a family wedding on Ibiza and met lots of the people again at the airport! A few of us were going to Newcastle (I think, may have been Manchester) and the ones for Scotland were headed for Schiphol, but it sort of extended the celebration to see them again.

    Have a good flight!

    That's a lot of washing for a 4 day break. Good job the weather is good for drying.

    Hope Mr SA is ok. Probably the flight tired him out. I'm always tired after a holiday.
