Title: Don1 The Worlds Unluckiest Man!
Post by: Gillywoo on October 03, 2009, 08:30:09 PM
They say lightning never strikes in the same place twice but in the case of Don1 it strikes 3 times....literally!

After being diverted to Kefalonia en-route to San Steph in June due to storms he and Sandra had a scary landing in Corfu last week in an equally bad storm.

However, I have just learnt that poor Don & Sandra are still in Corfu after their flight was cancelled last night due to severe storms!

We were booked on the same flight as Don but arranged to travel back on Monday instead.

I think Don should have his own plane to fly to and from Corfu so no one else has to share in his remarkable bad luck!

Hope your rearranged flight was OK Don.

Don - never mind mate!
I just found out that Zimmer was in charge of Air Control -
no surely not - - -
He would never do that on purpose!! LOL
(sorry zim- couldn't resist it)!

Seriously though - other planes were landing and taking off in corfu - smells a bit that you were stranded!

Really!! didn't realise - we were free on the Sat and would have loved to pop in - did not realise it was that close!
We ended up going to Cadbury world on the way there - to pass time really!
A mythos and a catch up would have been Great!!
Bound to do it again some time  - will let you know!!
