I was under the impression that you can't check in without your bags?

Anyway, have decided to head out to the airport early ( to get on the new wait list ) and just sit in the MLL and read and wait and wait and wait Thank God for the MLL.

I have never left on a Saturday before and had no idea it would be such a full flight. When I booked I was thinking it would be easier for our friends in London who come to meet me if I arrived on a Sunday...now I know differently.
