Dubai

Standing at a free internet kiosk in Dubai airport… I haven’t slept. I’ve watched Shutter, lots of Futurama and Simpsons and have eaten a lot (pics to follow). I still have a 5 hours flight to Greece today – it’s 9am currently in Dubai, am in Athens, but my body thinks it’s about 3pm Sydney time, with only brief biref naps since 6am yesterday morning.

Maybe i’m slowly killing myself but it’s all good :)

I’m getting better at flying – yes including take off and landing. Watched the under plane camera during the landing in Bangkok, and looked out the window for the Dubai landing – fly so low over the houses here!

Best go. Need to go people watch some more!

Less than 24 hours

So in 21 hours I should be boarding the plane.

Yes, a little more than excited *heh*

(Wishing I was in Boon, though…)

I was just sitting down with Mum, going through the photos from her European trips. I think it was making her a little sad, thinking that sha has travelled so little since she’s been married. i remember as a kid, we had three family holidays. One was in year one, to Victoria to visit my Grandfather down there, then year three to the Gold Coast, then again up to Brissie and the Gold Coast in year 11. Mum hasn’t really gotten away an more than that in that time, and since then has had a couple of Syndey and Melbourne long weekends, but not much at all. So, being me, I’m trying to psych her into planning a 2010 trip to Europe, a 30th anniversary of the trip we were just looking at. With new, unfading photos. (and a few more kilos – she was so skinny back then!)

I’m packed, except my toiletries. I have a new bigger memory card for my camera – which i need to charge tonight so I can take dorky photos of my air plane meals and other ccrap. Postcards look so much better than what I can take, so i’ll send you them instead :p

What else to do? Not really sure… sort out what i’d like to watch on the flight – there’s a huge selection :) My plan is to watch movies til Bangkok, then sleep in the BKK to Dubai leg a bit more (at least a few hours!) We’ll see how I go. I got a text message from Rish, arrived safely and very grateful for his sleeping pills – I want!

Will leave here at aout midday to head to the airport – aim is to get a good night’s sleep :) And to remember everything I need! *bounce*
