Going on holiday is a stressful enough time as it is. You have to buy holiday clothes, all the medicines, pack it all, make sure the cats and dogs will be fed and the plants watered, make sure you have your tickets and passports and finally get to the airport on time. As stressful as it is, millions of people all over the world manage to do it.
When on my transfer back to Corfu airport last week we had to make a stop to collect a family of five. On the way past the accommodation, the bus driver beeped the bus horn to alert the family that he was there then drove on to turn the bus around. We sat and waited for the family for twenty long minutes with the flight time ticking closer and closer.
Eventually after the three children rounded up their unorganised parents, the bus driver drove on to the airport where, when standing outside the airport awaiting check in, a car pulled up and the father of the unorganised family ran after it. Out stepped the holiday rep who handed him a suitcase.
Now when travelling, I have forgotten things like a top I really wanted to bring or shampoo or once a camer memory chip but never a suitcase!
My dad was right when he said the family had the organisational skills of a peanut!

The invention and uptake of package holidays was fantastic for making travel to foreign climes available to most people. However, it has also removed the need for 'the holiday maker' to actually think for themselves.
