Thread Name: Can't make Getaway this year now ;-(
Subject: RE: Can't make Getaway this year now ;-(
Let me just say here and now, that I would love to be able to go, and not to be fighting the airline [Icelandair] for the refund of the money I paid for the fares.
I had this cunning plan consisting of hikers/cyclists aluminium bottles to get round the drink problem, so no sweat there, separating a Scotsman like myself from his drink is a man's job, not a church mouse's!
I would hate to feel that I played any part in discouraging anybody else from going by inserting a note of negativity.
I would also like to think that a lovely lady like KT wasn't going because without me she'd be sad.
Neither are true folks, so go to the Getaway and enjoy yourselves, and raise a 'non see through' glass to.
"Absent friends"
One of them at least will be in Scotland wishing he could be there!
