Visiting Emperor Nasi Goreng

I think I’m getting a little bit hysterical.

I think it’s the fact that my stomach has joined my brain and it has now formed a weird little thing called a bramach. It’s not pleasant.

Or it might be the fact that I just started laughing at my brother who just sneezed, and I haven’t stopped. It was not even remotely funny.

Or it might be the fact that it has taken me at least five different times to type this stupid sentence because I can’t spell today.

Or it might be the fact that I am obsessively counting down the time until I have to go to the airport.

On a less hysterical note I have now offically finished packing a good ten hours before I have to go. That is a record usually I do it so much earlier, the insane fear that I will wake up and miss my flight may have something to do with that.

But I will have to keep an eye on my suitcase all of my family knows that I am extremely stressed and they like to help by screwing with my head. Last time I had to do something that sent me into a hair spin they hid my keys and took my book.

Such a loving and caring family they are. So now I have to watch my bag so they don’t decide to hid it in the care or something stupid like that. I wouldn’t put it past them.

It almost feels like I will be gone from here for years because I keep thinking that I won’t see those TV shows that are on later in the week I won’t be sleeping in my bed for awhile.

 

I get on a plane today.

And I am perfectly fine with that, getting on a plane by myself the fact that I am screaming while I type this means absolutely nothing. Ha. Ha.

I am perfectly okay with going to the airport, it’s nice, I spent a day there once, getting grandparents from their flight the fact that I got there four hours early is completely irrelevant, but it was nice exploring. It was not at all like Heathrow, rather small really.

You know thinking about airports I think I have been in more airports than actual countries/cities. That’s sad, but really that can’t be right.

I have been to the following airports:

Brisbane International Airport

New Zealand International Airport

LA International Airport

Las Vegas Domestic Airport

Denver Domestic Airport

Memphis Domestic Airport

Chicago Domestic Airport

New York Domestic Airport

Toronto International Airport

John F Kennedy International Airport

Heathrow International Airport

Charles De Gaulle International Airport

Singapore International Airport

Okay so it is right. I have only been to eight cities out of those thirteen airports. Oh the shame. Granted though I have doubled up on some cities because I have been to the International and the Domestic Airport but still.

But you know what I have just decided the best thing about travel is. Telling people. Not bragging mind you, I never really got the hang of doing that particually well.

I got the the best reaction from one of my bosses the other day. She had no idea I was going overseas because I was only over at her work for a few weeks and I had to tell her because my end date at that work was getting a bit close to when I was leaving.

I think the conversation went something like this:

‘Hey Mandy is this our last day?’

‘Yes, it should be fingers crossed’ She said that a lot, and I mean a lot.

‘Good because I am going overseas on Sunday so I won’t be able to make it in’

Could you imagine commuting from China, that would be a drag.

‘Oh where are you going?’

‘China for two weeks’

‘You little sh**’ I started laughing at that because I could see that she was increadibly jealous and she was a swearer.

She countined swearing at me for awhile, I laughed at her. Then she asked if this was my first time overseas, nope been to America and Europe, you should have seen the colour her face went. It was classic.

Then she asked how old I was, I told her and she started all over again, not that I could blame her this time, I am rather well travelled considering how young I am.

Yes, it is rather fun telling people.

Okay now I have sufficently distracted myself it is time … for … something.
