Holiday Chaos and Pre-season preparations

I've unexpectedly found time to update the blog thanks to another Calder family holiday twist of fate. Now I'm not going to moan as I've had some great holidays, but I don't recall holidaying being so tough when I was a kid. After last year getting stranded in Teneriffe with the ash cloud and then a week later being booted out of Luton airport when they cancelled our flight to Prague last minute at 10.30pm; having previously had a weekend in Edinburgh spoilt by a text from British Airways telling us our flight home was cancellend; and previous to that our once in a lifetime trip to Lapland involved spending 4 hours on the end of the runway at Gatwick, during which time they had to remove all passengers on a day trip as it was not worth them going (fortunately we were on a 3 day trip)... This year we deliberately chose not to fly anywhere, it's just not fun anymore, and we seem to attract bad luck.
