Flight later. We are in Nainativu. Phone is full of Kandy drums (4th Randoli listed 6:44 PM). Three of us, one tired wants to 'go early just in case'. Ordinary bags, no suitcase theatre.

Leave in the ordinary window for Nainativu to CMB unless you have a real reason. Kandy's 4th Randoli listed 6:44 PM is a Kandy street, not an airport closure. Do not invent a island-wide jam from a procession in another town. Traffic is traffic. Build a buffer, not a panic.

We left ordinary. Arrived ordinary. Fine.

Pride slept in the departures hall 'just in case' and hated 26 Aug.

Kids: ordinary buffer. 4am theatre is not a gift.

If you are actually in Kandy tonight, that is different. You are in Nainativu.

We watched the drums on a phone at Nainativu, packed slow. Fine.

Do not pay a 'perahera airport extra'.

Check the flight, not a group chat about elephants.
