However then you definately think about that it’s essential to get to the airport 2 hours early…and it takes an hour to get there…and also you need 20 minutes as a ‘simply in case’ buffer…and 20 minutes to prepare…

There’s nothing worse than realising the highest you wished to put on is soiled when it’s 2am and all of your different t-shirts are already packed in your suitcase.
