Conversational Snippets From Lierian's Hilarious Misadventures In Traveling
"Oh my God!!! My bag's been left unattended!" said in front of security checkpoint at CLT-Douglas Airport (oops!)
"Er, I didn't know a million people would be landing this early (6am) in the morning." in Heathrow Arrivals Hall customs, followed by "A unique olfactory experience (six planes full of people traveling anywhere from 6-24 hrs without the chance to freshen up) yes, you could say that."
"Don't talk to me David!" hysterical woman on the train next to me. "I just want to go home!" David talks to her. "I said DONTtalk to me David!" she's now crying and moves into a corner about a foot way, he follow her. "David, GO AWAY!!!" - Um, what happened to that famous stiff British upper lip and not liking to cause scenes?
I drop a £5 note and upon bending to pick it up note blood oozing behind my ankles. "I thought I was feeling a blister form." There are 3 and my new brown leather sandals are ruined.
quoteSo how long do you think it would take to get a parrot through customs? end quote from an email I wrote to my brother. It was a prank. My dad always brings home some type of pet whenever we travel domestically.
By Lake Windemere in the British Lake District, "I thought woolly mammoths were extinct."
"You would rather eat pizza from Pizza Hut than Haggis?" My poor parents have no idea what haggis really is. Hint: sheep guts. Yuck.
"So, you don't want to be seen wearing green walking down this neighborhood." said firmly by our tour guide in Belfast, Northern Ireland driving by the propaganda murals by the IRA and the like.
All in all, having a grand time. The Misadventures just make trip all the more memorable. I will be sure to go in-depth behind some of the snippets when I get back. Right now I'm in my hotel in Dublin stuffed on good Irish stew.
Lierian - Delirious with joy that she's actually made it to her dream vacation.
