Make God(de) laugh:

tell Her your plans.

There is a glitch/hitch/problem. The Senior Boy has no passport. It is a long story but the short version is "it ain't here and he's gonna have to get another one AND get all the visa stuff done overseas rather than here". All that is NotMyProblem, however, we were supposed to be meeting in Italy (ahhh, romance, ahhh, sweeping roads and luscious food and quaint rooms with shuttered windows and siestas and ... ) for two weeks prior to the rest of LGA. This may now be somewhat up in the air.

So: do I (a) keep my travel plans and find something else to do in Italy whilst visa-messing-about happens? (b) change my flights and go a week later in 'opes of the vma being sorted? (c) drop the London/Pisa part of my flights and stick with The Boy and ride down with him when the vma is sorted? (d) none of the above and you have a brilliant other idea which you tell me for the pure delight of showing off your cleverness.

Waiting patiently...
