At last!
We are on our way to Thailand. We only just made our flight by the skin of our teeth. We're not kidding either.
All day we have been changing our minds about going today. Should we stay the whole week and get a few more grand? We know we would be crazy not to. Or can we not wait any longer and just go? We even flipped a coin over it and heads told us to stay lol. So we decided we would if we had the option to. Chris did some snorkelling to pass the time and we banned ourselves from talking about the subject anymore!
So we arrived at Heathrow and offered to volunteer again only to be told they had another offer available to us. The staff said we can stay on the direct flight we were already booked on, or change to an indirect flight, arrive into Bangkok earlier and get given £1000 compensation again for the hassle! Result!!!
First they paid us to stay, now they want to pay us to go!
So then we had all this loose cash in our pockets, not ideal to carry around with us. We only had 30 mins until the gate closed so we ran to get a currency card from Travelex. Only took 10 mins to complete the day before so we thought we would be fine. But dumb arse at the desk was so slow we began to lose our patients and began to panic. Chris made him nervous so he wasn't counting the money properly and had to keep starting over. I checked the time and said we only had 8 mins left to get through security and get to the gate! Suddenly I felt really faint, I'm pretty sure I was starting to have a panic attack!! Even I started to shout then and said give Me the receipts! Where do I sign?! Once done we ran to fast track security checks and were escorted through to the other side. Stripping off all our valuables like two crazy people we made it through security. Then we sprinted through the shops and down the terminal. I got tired and began to slow down. Chris carried on running, he didn't even look back once to check i was still behind him! I thought b******! He's gonna go without me! Lol
When I finally made it to the gate, Chris and the staff were laughing. Apparently they had a bet on us, one of them bet we were late because Chris proposed to me. Which in response Chris told them to f*** off.
Well we are almost about to land in Vienna now. We are filled with voddy and cokes so we will sleep easily on our connecting flight to Bangkok.
Good night Uk
