First World Problems

Certain people I know....

Planned a skiing trip to France.
Mostly for a 4 and 6 year old, I was told.

Didn't strike me a a bright idea

Anyway, due to Covid direct plane flight was out so rearrange with multiple journeys
Pick up from home by taxi at 2am, flight from Heathrow to Paris, connect from Paris to Nice if I remember right, taxi to destination

What could possible go wrong with that ?

So far
Heathrow to Paris delayed, so connection missed and now a 6 hour wait for the Nice flight

Not their sort of diet

My guess is multiple purchases of sandwiches, Paris airport version, crisps, chocolate

I await further updates

We'll be flying in July to Seville via Easyjet to rent a car to drive onwards to Jerez, saving a connecting flight. We've minimised the risk, although a return flight via BA does not fill me with joy.

I will not complain if it all goes pear shaped, we know the risks.

Avoiding the connecting flight sounds a good plan

Hope you don't get the replacement bus service

Why can't politicians be that inspiring? The only two who come even close are Jimmy Carter who, at 97 years of age, is still working as hard as he is able, still giving back to his country. The other, obviously, is Jeremy Corbyn, who still manages to inspire many "ordinary" people, despite his disenfranchisement.

[EDIT]
Ooops. And Jacinda Ardern.
