And we’re off

We bid farewell to Belfast for a while as we head down to Dublin to start our trip. Hopefully as it has been a day of frustration so far. Trying to check in for our flights to Istanbul and Singapore proved fruitless and required phone calls to help lines and such. Apparently, like toddler, Turkish Airlines cannot cope with E-numbers. So after three hours of cold sweat I learn that it is not possible to check in online. We shall just have to do it the old fashioned way at 7.30am tomorrow. Wish us luck.
