My last summer holiday was fantastic. There was only one problem the journey home! We went to Italy three months ago(that's me, my mum and dad, and my four-year-old sister Ruby). We stayed in a cool hotel near the sea. I went swimming every day and played football with some Italian boys on the beach. I also ate great pizzas and ice cream! After two amazing weeks, it was time to go home. We left the hotel at 3 pm and went to Pisa Airport by coach. The hotel was only 25 kilometres from the airport and our flight was at 7 pm, so we had lots of time. But there was a terrible traffic jam on the motorway and we arrived at the airport at 6 pm! We saw big queues at the check-in. There was a problem with the computers! Fortunately, our plane was late. Its new departure time was 9.15 pm. We went through passport control at 8 pm. And then we wait and waited. Ruby was hungry and thirsty, and she cried a lot. At 10 pm, we had bad news, our flight was cancelled. We found a hotel near the airport at midnight. We had a flight at 7.30 am. So the next morning we were very tired. My sister Ruby cried again! Ruby watched cartoons on the plane and I listened to my mp3 player. We arrived at Heathrow Airport at 9 oclock in the morning! And then, guess what? Our suitcases weren't at baggage reclaim. They were still in Italy! By Sam
