AFTER reading a letter to the editor about travelling before my European holiday, worry set in. But surely nothing like that will happen to us, will it?
The night before we departed, packed and ready to go, it started. Our tour company called at 10:30pm to advise that Germany's airport staff were striking. Being a proud unionist, I thought no problems; bung one on over the weekend, then back to work. Not in Germany, apparently. The representative said we could cancel or go, and they would transfer us to ensure we made our cruise.
