We had massive holes in our planning schedule and forgot umpteen items such as coats (it rained in London...a LOT); a Jesus icon statue for my mother-in-law; proper bedding toothpaste and hairdryer.
Hubby: I forgot to pack some vests.....I packed a load of car light bulbs by mistake...
Me: ..... what? Why? How?
Hubby: I was on the way to the bathroom to pack the soap and I picked up the wrong bag.
Me: Well, this is getting surreal...
Hubby: I also got distracted and forgot to pack the soap too...
It was weird to say the least, but I found it funny. After locating the missing foot pump for the inflatable bed, we turned the large fan on - big mistake. even on mach 1, it was lifting the bedding. I was holding on to the sheets with my fingers and toes to stop lift off, plus the east-facing bedroom gave us retina-scorching sun from about 4.30 every morning. Seriously, I felt I was witnessing the birth of the universe every morning. The shower didn't work either. The washer had gone in the tap-to-shower- faucet and I had to jam my hand under the tap so that I had water coming out of the shower head.
Thankfully, I am back home today and have got belated birthday cards and gifts etc. Spending time to recover after the supposed break away :-)
