Dream on...
I got back from Portugal less than an hour ago, one of the smoothest, most pleasant and hassle-free end-to-end trips I've ever had I think. Returning the rental car always worries me as you hear these horror stories about the cheapo places but they were good.We'd paid extra for front row seats on the flight but it was only about half full anyway. Due to the shortage of travellers your luggage comes through really quickly and the M1/M4 were pretty empty.
The only shocker was the cost of a couple of coffees and cakes at the airport - nearly €14, whereas the same in Portugal is about €5 tops.
One woman a few rows back on the flight had a fairly extensive coughing fit but I've been caught the same in public - you need a good cough to clear something but you don't want to because people stare. So your small coughs just go on and on and on. (I think the cause of my occasional coughs - which I've had for ages -0 is a hangover from smoking - despite having now been a non-smoker for more than 5 years)
