22nd Dec - Getting to Vienna - Finally

Again the next day we got up really early – about 4am - & headed to the airport. The Aer Lingus flight to Vienna was so packed that we had to wait over 3 hours just to check in. Lucky for us the flight wasn’t cancelled (all Easyjet flights were). But the wait was extreme & delayed the flight by a few hours. People at the airport were getting really antsy too - arguing & yelling at the one person delegated the task of crowd control (poor guy!). But we finally boarded & in a couple of hours landed in Vienna.
We grabbed a local train which took us almost right to our hotel. When we got there, we relaxed (slept) for a couple of hours in order to renew our energy before venturing out.

Bloody British Airways!

I checked my bags through from Schiphol Airport (Amsterdam) to Glasgow, even though I had a connecting flight at Gatwick. But by the time I reached Gatwick & turned my mobile on again, I'd received a text message that my flight to Glasgow had been cancelled. Bugger!!
I was really looking forward to catching up with a dear friend from Sydney in Glasgow that afternoon. BA said they could put me on a flight in to Edinburgh - no thank you! So a wait of a few hours & a coach transfer into London Airport & I finally boarded another plane to Glasgow.
Unfortunately, they either forgot or lost my bag, & after numberous attempts to get them to deliver it that eve, I was stuck without a bag till mid-morning the next day.
Thankfully, Margaret who I was staying with in Glasgow lent me some undies & a lovely long girlie nightie to sleep in that night. My friends would have loved seeing me in this nightie!!
I did get to catch up with Paul & received all the goss & more than a fair share of hugs. It was great to see a Sydney friend again. He even offered to lend me one of his g-strings. I had to decline - just couldn't see myself filling it out.
