There are quite alot of things on my so called bucket list,in early 2007 i was about to tick one of the list not only was i going to The Nou Camp Stadium Barcelona i was going to watch the Mighty Liverpool Football club playing there against Barcelona in a last 16 match in the champions league AWESOME.Unfortunatley things didnt turn out as planned so here goes our little story.Now i am quite a seasoned traveler, myself and my mates made it to the champions league final a couple of seasons before in Istanbul and many beers were consumed in those 2 1/2 days and we got there and back without to much incidents only one lost passport between 10 of us, so when we booked our little excursion my buddy my son and i decided to go the slightly cheaper way of flying from Luton Airport instead of Liverpool where everyone else was flying from, the dearer option.Not wanting to miss our flight we arrived in good time 5 HOURS EARLY !!! to early to check in we decided to sink a couple of jars and some more and more and more.We made check in, then thought it was to early to go through passport control so we decided to indulge in a little more southern hospitallity and unfortunately this is where everything went wrong VERY WRONG.We lost total track of time, when we eventually made it through passport control and got to our gate our plane had long vacated the airport in fact it had gone a good 40 mins previous.OOOOPPPPPS.We tried to get on the morning flight no room,we jumped on the national express coach to heathrow sobering up very quickly but were given extremely hefthy prices we decided to call time on our planned trip.We made it home the next morning and watched the game on TV in our local pub being the butt of everyones jokes.It worked out nearly £500 each to watch the game on tv,you certainly learn by your mistakes (well sometimes anyway lol)Barcaluton was born and we have never lived this down.So while on holiday being only 1 hour drive from Barca the lure to exercise the events of our failed trip was one not to be missed,it was a glorious day and i stood in awe of this awesome stadium reliving the match i watched those years previous on tv when i should of been basking in the glory of our 2-1 win
