After reading this I'm thankful we changed our minds on a repeat visit and are heading to the north west for our next week off.

As well as simply remembering what you still need to do. I've started making checklists.

Based on what you described in this post, I think it's highly unlikely that I'll ever get on another plane. I admire your persistence.

He did at least have some previous knowledge of what was likely to be required, which helped, as he'd been to Munich last month. Can't see me clamouring to repeat the saga any time soon.
