Italy air strike hits travellers

Not a very interesting headline for some one living in the UK. However if you have been planning to go to Italy on that day it takes on a whole different meaning.

Last October we as a family booked a holiday for our Dad on his 70th birthday. He frequented Italy many times for holidays with my mum when she was alive. He always wanted to go back, sort of a reminiscing trip.

So today we ended up at the airport with hundreds of other disrupted passengers trying to find a way there. Long and short of it we can go next Thursday! and even that took a lot of calls and Internet searching.

Here is hoping that the Air Traffic peeps decide to work on May 31st.
