My diary
Having just left my beautiful family at Terminal 4 of Heathrow, I now find myself people watching from the sun loungers of the UK's busiest airport. I'm already looking for someone to befriend for my flight although neither the 50-year-old woman with matching neon scarf and shoes or the Chinese twins simultaneously picking their noses seem to make the cut... I begin to consider a businessman, as apparently my first night in Asia, booked by the lovely STA man, is going to be spent in Bangkok's largest business district...
By the power of Google, I somehow found myself reading Trip-Advisor reviews of the airline that I am about to board for an 18-hour flight. This was by far one of the worst decisions of my life....mum, you don't want to know.... (but if you do, it included comments such as "you should think 200 times before booking a flight with said airline"). I see one of their planes land in the window next to me and am reassured that they can, in fact, land. See you on the other side, all being well.....
I don't think I can explain how I'm feeling right now, its a very weird mixture of nerves, hella excitedness and the fear of the complete unknown. One thing I do know is that I'm feeling like an absolute nutter for having hula hoops for breakfast!
The one where I people watch

Heathrow Airport
