1) Not missing our flight (National Express delayed by 50 minutes. Cost of rebooking on the next flight 6 hours later on the other side of London = £130)
2) Not staying with the least welcoming and convivial Italian mother ever, whose idea of hospitality was giving me a wide berth every time she saw me and slamming a plate full of fried cheese balls in front of me for dinner, two nights in a row
3) Not driving two hours in the wrong direction to the beach, on the only sunny day
4) Not walking to our hire car to drive to the airport only to find it had been towed away and replaced by a street market, with no signs in sight (Cost or reclaiming our car = €150)
Apart form that, great trip.

Oh yeah - I forgot to mention arriving at Gatwick after a 2-hour crawl across London from Stansted to check in to our re-booked flight and being told the flight had been (intentionally) over-booked and we would only be allowed on if there were no-shows.
And there was me thinking that ****ing a man would be my travelling nadir.
as my family insisted Toronto rush hour would be a nightmare and I insisted it wouldn't take more than 45 mins to get there. They demanded we got a taxi at 4pm (for a 9.05pm flight)
I said you are all mental.
Well the taxi arrived slightly early and we got there at 4.30pm zzzzz although it was boring I was a smug ****er for the rest of the evening.
