Haven't heard from you for a while. Has anything unexpected turned up?

On the assumption that all is still OK, I believe our best meeting point would be at the seats nearest the escalators. The toilets are handy there as well. Les than 4 weeks now.

Hope the's nothing wrong.

Keep well and get in touch soonest.

Perhaps there will be some 'nice days' on holiday cause there sure as heck hasn't been many here this summer.

I have my documentation in too. My aim is to be there before the desks are open for luggage. More details later.

I was in that area when in Portugal a few years ago and I would suggest that you take a cardigan or light jacket for the evenings since there is usually a cool breeze at night.

You should be starting to decide what you are packing by now and sorting things out.

Don't be looking for a big six-footer, or a little man using a zimmer. I'm somewhere in between. You are right - the luggage tags are distinctive and since I have surplus, I will wear a tag in my straw 'soft' hat. That's how you will identify me.

I will be booking my car in to a long-stay car park and taking it from there.

It is coming around so fast now it is hard to believe it's so close. So SEE YOU SOON.

Just got another letter in showing a slight change on departure time from G/gow.

Given the world financial situation, there is too much panic going on at the moment and speculators are making a killing by causing this and the yuppies were too greedy creaming big bonuses till the bubble burst. Unfortunately this is now affecting a lot of jobs and not only in the finance sector. I hope you are unaffected by this. You really don't want to think about early retirement just yet. It would not be a good time to do it.

It is just as well our holiday is coming soon and we will forget things even for a little while.

I hope you have started packing by now.

See you soon.

Given flight departure is 1430 and the desks are opened 2 hours before, it is my intention to be there as close to 12 noon as I can.

I WILL be wearing the straw hat with the 'JY' label on the band. I have not decided what I will be wearing for travel yet, but I will be dressed for comfort. I'll let you know before the weekend. Look forward very much to meeting up and making your aquaintance before setting off.

See you soon.

Almost upon us now.

This is to confirm that we meet about 12 noon on Monday. Make it at the escalator (Ground floor level) I WILL be have on the hat as indicated and wearing a light blue jogging suit and denim waistcoat. (That's my 'handbag'. I'll be seated so height does not matter. Hope you're not too disappointed face to face. Exact time dependent on transfer from carpark to airport.

Stay cool and 'have a nice day'.

Bill A.

Looking forward to meeting you and of course the holiday itself.
