It's 17:58 and I am finally @ Heathrow Airport in the Departure Lounge. Don't know what gate I am suppose to be @ but they will tell us at 20:15. Gatwick to Heathrow was fine. Took about 45minutes in the Taxi we pre booked. Our flight landed earlier than expected (15:00). I had to go to the ground floor of the Gatwick carpark for me to get my booked taxi. My taxi driver was called Malik. I was thirsty so he kindly offered to stop at M&S which was located just outside of the airport. I just got an orange juice.
We travelled on the M25 all the way to Heathrow. He told me a story about how they call the M25 a free carpark. This is because, as he explained it to me that when it is rush hour traffic the cars are at a standstill for hours - and guess what? It's free.
We arrived at Heathrow airport and i went outside for a smoke after i had checked in. Check in opened at 5pm. I arrived at about half 4 so it was all very good timing. I was speaking to an older gentlemen and this wife while standing in the 'check in' queue who were also going to Thailand. They had been several times before and were very fond of the place. This made me even more excited.
I haven't eaten anything yet so i guess i should get something to eat. I guess the excitement has taken control of my brain. I am just waiting for Jess and Claire to get hold of me now so we can meet somewhere. I am sitting on a seat close to the boards so i can see whats going on.
Surprisingly i found everything straight forward - which is unusual for me as i have on a number of occasions got myself into a state while in airports. They are VERY overwhelming!
