Just boarded the Isle of Man to Gatwick flight. It is 13:30pm.

Saying goodbye to my mom was hard. She started crying as she hugged me goodbye. It got me going too. It was bound to happen.

I texted Jessica (Girl i will be meeting @ Heathrow) this morning while me and my Mom sat and had a coffee together, before i went through Security into the departure lounge.

Sitting at the little table by the coffee bar, I had this feeling of excitement come over me. The realisation kicked in that my adventure was beginning. One month in a different country is definately a BIG deal for a Mommy's girl.

I cried as i went through security, turning around for one last time to say goodbye to my Mom. It was hard. My Dad said goodbye to me in the morning while i was still sleeping. I knew i would miss them.

My flight departs @ 13:50 :-)

I forgot to mention.. I have a fear of flying.
