I once said I'd keep this blog going forever... And I meant it. Sure there's a few gaps over the last few years, but I'm gonna make sure that all my overseas travel continues to make it here. On that:
Heathrow airport; 19.08, made it. Time to flight: 2hrs 22mins.
One big bag, one little bag full of my favourite things... and that excitement I always have from a long-haul trip. I'm not a airplane hater. I'm quite happy in this day and age losing myself in some (iPad) movies, books, average cuisine and tablet induced sleep... it could be way worse, right?
I'm strangely excited to be staying a night in Bangkok, where I'll literally be around the corner from the airport and near absolutely nothing in terms of everything BKK has to offer. Life has been chugging along at a rate of knots these last few weeks and months, and the idea of one evening with gym, pool & wifi is extremely appealing; I've never seen a 5 day iPhone forecast painted as 5 consecutive lightning bolts though!
But for now, I'll carry on sitting here, bags in hand, wondering what I might see and do after two 6hr flights to Dubai and then Bangkok, and then another 2hr45 from Bangkok to Manila.
The answer, well, not much in Bangkok, I'm shacked up just round the corner from the airport to make tomorrow as easy as possible as I head back there. Pad Thai and Singa for dinner, watching Newcastle play in Europe on Telly; what could be more Thai!?
