Heavy bag!

Getting to the airport was good. The man arrived right on cue and got us there fast. All was well until my suitcase went on the scales. Too heavy said an implacable young lady. I pointed out that in relation to it Davids was light. They cancelled each other out.
She was having none of that. Some of it had to go in the other bag.
It was hot. I was bending over my case with poor David looking anxious. I threw several bottles of shampoo type stuff away. I hope someone can make use of that great mousse and various creams.
It took me about half an hour to unpack and repack the cases, all in the public eye. I offered to just pay the excess but she said that would involve another big queue!
Eventually she let us in. It was the lowest point of the holiday!
Today we did the eleven hour flight in good heart. We even got some sleep. I saw a couple of great films on British Airways. It helped make up for all that angst!
I have promised David that the huge case will now be retired. Never again will we have this problem. Of course the road to hell etc!
It's great to be home. Cornwall is very beautiful even in the grey mist!
