Captive in Portugal!? | Comments (0)

I returned to work after a few days off to find a really busy day awaited me. I thought though that it would be ok; I was due to pick up Sandra from the airport at 11:30pm that evening and Stansted is not too far away. Also I was looking forward to seeing Sandra and Emma as it’s the first time we have all been apart for any length of time.
As I was finishing up at work I got a call from Sandra. She was saying that she wouldn’t be able to come back tonight as she was being held by Portuguese Immigration! This was because she didn’t have a letter of authority from me saying that she could travel with our daughter. I couldn’t believe it. The only way for me to sort it out is to fly out there tomorrow (great, up at 4.00am! ) and bring them home. I could understand it if they were preventing her leaving England but not Portugal.
Anyway I guess that’s the way it goes. Should be back in tomorrow night. It’s going to be another long day!
On another note, I just wanted to say that as this site is brand new and the comments section is not happening yet. I hope to have this up and running soon. (i’ve not written that part of the blog script yet!
