A honeymoon worth remembering

Cuba

It's 21:00 on a Monday evening 7 years ago. My husband and I are ready for our honeymoon the next day. We also are going to move out when we return, so our apartment is full of boxes. We are waiting for a phone call from the traveling agency, to give us information about the procedures. They had told us they would give us a call until 20:30. So -under my pressure, I always worry about this kind of staff- my husband called them again. No answer. We were worried to death. Called again...no luck. Finally, since we had booked the tickets through a rural agency, we managed to find the owner's home number (the second number under the same name on the catalogue was his cousin's home!) After a series of apologies and since we made clear it was actually a honeymoon trip, he informed us at 22:30 that we should be at the Athens' National Airport at 05:30, where we should look for mrs X, near the abroad check-ins. And yes, we made it! Took off from Athens and after a stop in Paris and a 10hour flight from there, we landed in La Havana, Cuba.
