I wouldn't want to sit next to me on a flight....
The first thing I do is tell the person next to me that I don't like flying, seeing that I can now speak Spanish....no one can escape this
I can never sleep and therefore don't want anyone else to, coughing and going to the toilet are good ways to ensure this
I practically sit on peoples laps to look out the window
I make a dramatic sigh everytime the seatbelt lights are turned on
However, I am massively improving in coping with flying and have actually been able to relax at some intervals, pretty much every flight I have been on has had turbulence and I now understand that this does not mean the plane is going down. I think I'm better on longer flights as I have time to get over take off before landing,the next flight will be my longest to date...13hours from Santiago on Auckland, the wait at the airport is a little over 21hours so hopefully will be knackered and actually be able to sleep through some of it, there should be some films in English too which will be nice :)
Santiago airport is pretty big so staying occupied hasn't been to bad, had about an hours kip on some chairs. The money here is crazy...2000 pesos for a pepsi.....on the upside, pretty sure I'm a chilean millionaire at the moment.
Journey from Cuzco to Auckland is a long one but very excited to know that Ollie will be at the end of it and no long flights until the end of June now! (when we travel from australia to hong kong)
Kindle and iPod helping me to pass the time and have my luggage with me so know where it is at the moment, onwards and upwards....literally!
Should arrive on Auckland Monday lunchtime s.American time, Monday night uk time and Tuesday morning nz time.....alot to get my little mind round
Over and out

Laura It's all so exciting. Well done on the flying, you'll soon be a pro :)
Sue Ford So why is there such along wait? is there a delay with the plane getting there - this may then have a knock on affect on it turning round to leave as staff must have a set number of hours rest before flying again. Hope you get on the move soon there is only so much reading you can do while waiting. There will be no weekly bulletin from the Level 1's next week as it is half term. We have a plan that a different student will write the message each week to vary the content for you. I just saw Rose while shopping at ASDA she made a point of talking to me, nice as most others try their best to pretend not to see you at college never mind when you are out in the real world!
Tony and Beryl Try not to look shifty and furtive, Just enjoy it. Another notch in your achievements. All our love Tony and Beryl. xxxxxxxx
