Yes.. Its true.. I wasnt meant to be back from my fun weekend in Italy until tomorrow.. But all did not fare well, and so, i find myself back home less than 24 hours after i left.
And yes i'm a little gutted, a little pissed off, and left feeling distinctly underwhelmed from the excitement i had about such a lovely naughty trip!

As you'll know if you read my blog regularly, i had a bit of a disaster with my suitcase on my lovely recent trip to France, this time i had planned to perfection, and managed to take my bag as handluggage..  Left PLENTY of time for the extra airport security...  Had a nice new hair cut, bought a few nice new things to wear, freshly painted red nails (fingers and toes) What could go wrong?
SIGH!

My flight left Uk an hour late, meaning arrived in Italy and hour late.. i was met very nicely at the airport and we set off feeling very naughty and excited.. sun shining, blue sky..

Because of the late arrival, and a bit of a long drive to the beautiful remote hotel, we arrived at 9.30pm, just after they finished serving dinner.. so, figuring we had the whole weekend to eat ..we went straight to the room.   Which i can at least report was gorgeous, and a very comfortable, lovely bed  (oo err).
Woke up several times in the night to "enjoy the bed", and then finally reawoke to the sound of phone ringing at about 5.30am uk time..
Not good news, unfortunately a member of my companions' family had been taken ill in the night - and therefore as of that time, trip needed to be curtailed..  DAMN!
So was dropped back at the airport 12 hours after i landed there..without yet having tasted any Italian food or drink!!
Plus with a non changeable ticket, had to buy a new ticket to standby. Next flight not for 4.5 hours, and that one was overbooked- looked liked catching one a whole 10.5 hours later!!!  Not great!!
After a long wait and lots of begging, i got the last seat on the earlier flight.. Not too bad i thought.. Home by late lunch.

But no!!  Sat on plane waiting for slot for 40minutes, then  they announced a technical problem with the flight. After much humming and ha'aing, waiting for engineers to finish lunch, over 4 hours sitting stationary on board on an un-air conditioned plane,  9 hours after gettting to the airport- and less than 24 hours after arriving in italy , we finally took off.. 

So, all in all... not a great 24 hours..

So, here i am. Back in London early, completely free, and needing some fun and cheering up..

Any volunteers!??
