March 8th, 2006 - 10:30 PM London (Stansted Airport lounge)Here I sit on a very hard chair in London, trying not to fall asleep while waiting for my flight. I spent the last 24 hours trying to get to Oslo. It has never been this complicated to get there, so I shall add this trip to the collection of "My craziest adventures". I´ve been seriously

"I also told everyone I had a heart condition and I needed to make it to Norway that evening, in order to take my medicine"

And the Oscar for best actress in trying to make a plane goes to... YOU!

[gigipointis]

I know. That kind of thing requires skills! I cried and pretended I was out of breath and everything...you should´ve seen it. Next time I´ll just throw myself on the floor and pretend that I´m passing out!

[gigipointis]

But you live in Oslo, don´t you? :D

HOLD ON I'M COMING

[babarambob]

Whew hope you arrived ok ~ jesus you got ME all STRESSED OUT here!!! lol

Re: HOLD ON I'M COMING

[gigipointis]

Try to imagine how I felt when I went through all that. I didn´t even mention that I got on a plane to a small city in Norway after spending the night at the airport and went on a 2 hour trip to Oslo. I should´ve gotten an award for doing all that! :]

HEART CONDITION

[babarambob]

Well I hope you got your "medicine" in time!!! ok, here's an ***AWARD** for you!!! lol

Finally someone discovers my talent! Thanks for the award :D

What a journey!!
Haha, really I can only guess how bad it is to fly economy. I never did it, at least not long flights. I have long legs, am not very social and get bored easily. But not even flying first class in enough to make me wish the flight was longer. I mean, fucking 14 hours to Heathrow... There's no way I can keep myself amused since I rarely manage to sleep in planes. I just wish concords were still operating and I was rich enough to afford the tickets. ;)

[gigipointis]

Oj oj oj! You never flew economy? Lucky Marie! Not only did I fly economy several times, but there was this time that I had no seat at all. I flew crew seat, meaning I could only have a seat during the meals, take off and landing. Then I had to go to this hard as rock seat that could only fit one ass cheek. I spent most of the flight talking to the crew, and the next thing I know I was serving orange juice to the other passangers in the kitchen. That was how I overcame my fear of flying. I wouldn´t complain if I only flew business from now on though. But I confess I enjoyed the ghetto class journeys as well, and I shall share them with the grandkids :D
Have a nice trip next time you go to our sweet sweet Rio.

[hellololla]

That's for long flights only... for short ones I happily go economy most of the times. But I should be grateful to Alaric`s BA miles, as he flies enough to get me free business seats and sometimes we manage to get an upgrade to first, so I enjoy champagne, prawns and the much appreciated distance from people and big families with screaming babies, haha - I'm evil. Is it possible to get a crew seat? I didn't know that! I am not very well familiarized with planes as you might have guessed. And I'm off to Rio in less than two weeks, weee! Will send you a bit of sun. :)

[gigipointis]

Please do. I´ve been getting a lot of sun and blue skies actually, but the heat doesn´t want to pay us a visit at the moment. Too much snow everywhere. I still love this, and hopefully I won´t get sick of it anytime soon.

My brother is a captain, so I get "special" tickets very often. This means that I have many other options when it comes to flying. Good and bad. I was close to flying with the pilot last time I traveled. Now that would´ve been crazy!

Have fun in Rio for me. I miss coconut and acaí, even though it has been less than a week since I got here.

Pelo menos deu tudo certo no final. Acho que o pior mesmo deve ser perder a bagagem. Já aconteceu com o meu pai, e ele só recuperou depois que já tinha voltado pra casa!

O seu namorado mora na Europa ou aqui no Brasil? Eu leio o teu LJ há pouco tempo, então ainda não consegui entende rmuito bem quem mora onde hehehe

[gigipointis]

Nossa, nem me fale. Mas quando eles pagam pelo prejuízo e ainda devolvem a mala é tudo de bom.

Meu namorado e eu já nem temos mais endereco certo. Mudamos de países como nomades hehe Mas em breve ficaremos em um só lugar. Eu vim pra Oslo pra arrumar algumas coisas relacionadas a vida que iniciarei por aqui. Wish me good luck :)

[trampili]

Vou ficar torcendo pra dar tudo certo, com certeza! E pra você postar fotos do apartamento que berra IKEA hehehe Todo mundo fala tanto que eu queria que tivesse uma por aqui.
