I'm at Heathrow!!!!!!!!
Helloooooooo!!! I'm sat in some very deserted part of terminal 3 (not 5 thank god) waiting for 10:45 when I can go through to my gate (as yet unkown) and the boarding lounge. It's all terribly exciting! It's the first real airport I've ever been in!! (I am not counting the disaterous trip to Ireland, which is henceforth forgotten). The duty free is like WOAH! There appears to be more makeup and jewelery in this one terminal than in the entire city of Nottingham. I've been and bought a book (some Japanese historical novel called 'The Lost Concubine'...sounds very intresting!!) and some ear planes...because god help me I am NOT getting that blasted screw driver stabbing pain in my ears again.
It was a pretty uneventful drive down the M40 and even the dreaded M25 wasn't bad. Getting all the ticket stuff was really easy too. The only problem I had was setting off the alarm on the security thing, which was wonderful (!), especially when I had to get body searched by some lady. It's at times like this that underwired Bras are NOT helpful!!! Also they make you take your shoes off now?! Was very curious to know if in the millions they must have searched they have actually found anything. Well the people monitoring (for a lack of a better word...beacuse they weren't doing much of it) looked insanely board.
Oh crap I've just realised this internet thing is a rip off and it costs £1.00 per 10 minutes!!!! Christ!!! I have 7 minutes left so will make this quick!
Am sooooooooooooo insanely excited now!!! REALLY can't believe I'm am doing this but YAY, YAY, YAY!!!!
Right...must go and browse the Harrods shop and see what crap they are trying to charge ridiculous amounts of money for!
LA here I come, whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!! :0D
Will hopefully manage to post again sometime whilst I'm out trekking.
