hello to all
ive spent the last week or two trying to book a flight back to
austrailia-mainly online but trying a few shops and phoning places
looking for the best deal-its hard to get excited by looking for
flights-it just was so boring trawling through site after site-lots of
great deals that had catches and for a ticket to a place i was not 100%
sure i wanted to return to-it was a possibility for a while that i could
have got some tv work in ireland and at one stage i was all set to
settle down for a while somewhere-and after returning in june it was so
good to see all my mates and meet new ones too-so no wonder trying to
booking flight was so unstimulating.
then the other day i had to go to london to sort some stuff
out-which only took 20 mins so then i got to hang about all day with my
stuff-trying not to spend money-i buzzed about the place on the tube, it
was sunny, there were lots of hot english ladys about, i bought a book
and some thai noodles but still even though london was not overly
familiar to me and a new place i was still the same as ever-not excited
by the change, not smiling with the fun of been somewhere different-i
was sort of worried about traveling-maybe its taken its course and im
ready to do the 12 month lease and job thing again-get some career and
long term girlfriend under my belt (pardon the pun)-my head was not
good-
but later that evening it all changed-as i walked through heathrow
up to my bording gate-i looked through the glass and saw something that
made me smile-a big fuck off white and blue boing 747-400-with ground
crew tending her gentley with feul and baggage and ready cooked meals
for us-when i saw the craft,i always liked planes-i lived a year in
dublins flight path-and used to sit out in the garden with a spliff
watching the flying machines circling overhead-and again in cairns-on
the clear calm days the monsters would fly over so low and loud it was
like you could reach up and stroke their silver bellys as they flew
over-anyway this aerodynamic tube thing with wings was going to take me
somewhere different i then understood what all the ticket searching was
for, what the work to earn the cash for the ticket was for, and then it
started-the nice feeling that even though i was gonna be 20 hours inside
the beaut-together with my single serving friends-i would get
of on the otherside of the world-in a different place-with different
stuff and different people. i just got into sydney city center 20 mins
ago-the sky is blue and i doubt a jack hammer could get the smile of my
face.i kinda know where im staying tonight-but exactly what ill be at
next week or where ill be is another thing-and that is another
reason for my smile.
please people let me know what your at?where your at?and where/what youll be at in 6 months time?
and for anyone who has moved about this wonderful place on
planes-raise your glasses to the crew and the people who make it
possible to wake up from a shity sleep in a tiny chair that youve been
in for 10 hours in another country.
for anybody in syd or melb still im at 0431 686622
i better go sleep for a while.
some other things-
korea airports and good
i managed to spill beer-water-yogurt on my little table-shirt-croch-legs on 3 seperate ocasions on the last leg of this flight
the duty free in seoul is called ak duty free
good bye and xxx to you alll
