Holiday

Continuing in the abbreviated format..

Good:
Boom festival. So good! Fantastic even! Best festival ever!

Bad - all travel related:
* Outbound flight (TAP Portugal) delayed for more than seven hours.
* Portugese car hire place (Europcar) gave our car to someone else, because we were late. Even though we had paid in advance, and they knew we were gonna be late.
* Running late for the return flight, I somehow managed to end up with my film packed in my checked luggage, and my multi-tool packed in my carry-on luggage. The latter was confiscated at security, but the film bothers me the most. It has almost certainly been ruined, and there won't be any way I can get back all those photos :(
* And of course, this morning I woke up to find this had happened at airports around the UK.

I knew we should have driven..

[livejournal.com profile] kilinrax, [livejournal.com profile] lusciousa and I are also interested in going to that too. We'll probably drive too - it may make sense for us to just hire a single car that fits all of us, rather than two small ones?

(Note: we haven't confirmed this yet - but it's likely. Alex was particularly interested.)

Hrm. Single car that fits 5 people (plus kit) for a 5-hr or so drive in anything approximating comfort[0] surely likely to be pretty expensive? I dunno. I do have one booked already so may be easiest just to stick with going separately... (also, when would you be thinking about going down/back?)

I shall consult with [livejournal.com profile] uon, though.
