Just before going to bed on the Monday night, before we travelled on the Tuesday to Scotland, I asked DH for the labels for our cases, so I could write them out and tie them on, that way, everything would be ready for when we left at 05.30am..........my brain is not too active at that time, nor am I.............well, depends, I can remember spending some really lovely 05.30am's being active, but that is a whole other story
 
Anyway, he handed them to me and I said................."No, these are not the ones, we are going to the Highland Hotel in Fort William aren't we?"
 
Turns out I packed for the wrong hotel!!  I had not seen the itinery but had been told by DH that we were going to the hotel in Fort William, however, what he neglected to tell me was that the Fort William holiday is in July next year!!
 
This one was at Loch Tummell - his favourite hotel - and it was called a "Mountains and Mistletoe" holiday..................(yes, there was mistletoe, and yes, I did use it, but don't tell DH , and no, it was not Gordon - hahahaha).  It meant dressing up in the evenings when it was to be "Christmas Eve", "Christmas Night" and "Hogmanay"........and I had not packed any pretty shoes, only long boots and snowboots for wearing with my jeans and trousers, and I had not packed any pretty skirts, tops or dresses!!!
 
So at 05.00 I was pulling stuff out of my wardrobe and stuffing it into my case!!
Took the wrong shoes - these ones cripple me, which is why I spent most of my time dancing barefooted, well, stocking footed I suppose.  I found my black velvet skirt  and a couple of dressy tops sufficed.
 
I will be sure to read the itinery for the next holiday!!
