Sorry been away for some time....was enjoying my time in Bushland! I went through shit getting there slept at 2:00 a.m. had to wake up to catch the train to get to the airport 2 hours after that so I was dead tierd.
So yeah got to the airport checked in and then checked the screens for the gate and it wasn't there my flight was at 12:40 and it was 11:30 so I thought ok will do a bit shopping that will keep me busy by 12:00 I went to check the screens again but the gate number was not yet announced, by 12:15 I started to worry so I thought I will go and ask a member of staff
Irony: excuse me my flight is due to depart at 12:40 and the screen does not show the gate number.
Staff: Oh nothing to worry about just stand infront of the screen and wait a little it will tell you don't worry.
Irony: Oh ok. Thanks!
Tick tock...tick tock...it's 12:25 no sign of the gate on screen so I went to the information desk and there was another family who seem to have the same problem and I asked the lady behind the counter
Irony: Excuse me what gate should I be heading to for flight number ***!!??
Stupid Lady: It will show on the screen
Irony: (for fuck sake there is nothing on screen) Ummm but my flight is in 20 mins and the screen doesn't show me any gate
Stupid lady: Then that means your flight has been delayed I can't tell u anything the only way to find out is to stand infront of the screen...
Irony: thanks (bitch)
And then went searching for another member of staff found this dude and said
Irony: Excuse me I asked more then 3 members of staff my flight is leaving in 15 mins could I please know what the gate NUMBER IS??????
Lovely dude: lemme check for u
Irony: Ok....
Lovely dude: IT'S GATE 13 RUN RUN RUN u have 10 mins be4 take off..
I removed my shoes and started runing ...met this member of staff on my way and she asks me what's ur name where are u in this list...so I say there that's me and she says RUN ...she picks her walkie talkie saying she is heading towards u she just passed me...SO I RUN RUN RUN...and get to the gate breathless and then complain that thier screens are messed up..got on the flight breathless...everyone is just staring at me like some terrorist!!
So yeah I get to chicago where I have to changed flights and I had only an hour and a half before my other flight departs plus I had to check out and check in again and go through the security point. The queue was SO LONG there was no way I would catch my flight I needed two hours to get to my turn to the security point...so 30 mins later I think fuck it I will cut through and tell them I have a flight to catch...so I cut through and just say I have a flight to catch some of them replied we have one too so all I had to say was then follow me...I can't wait I will miss my flight so I get at the front and the bitch staff says well u cut through I say so I need to catch a flight and she was like yeah ok fine as long as the ppl behind u don't mind...then I tell her no one is complaining !!!
So I get through and then again had 25 mins be4 my flight takes off and so my shoes had to come off once again and ran the marathon again until I got to my gate...I deserve a gold medal and I finally got to my desitination...and was in the "jet lag" phase and all confused and hungry got used to it in 2 days and then went SHOPPING SHOPPING SHOPPING.
Oh well two lovely weeks pass by so fast and I had to get back to blairland and so I had to catch my flight from New york to london and had two hours to change airports and catch my flight to london and to make things worse the flight from my destination to new york was delayed by 25 mins!!! So I ask a member of the crew on the flight if I would b able to make it and he says he doubts it and that's the last flight to london...and he goes off asking someone else who knows NY better then that dude comes back to me and says : You got to run and speak to one of the agents and tell them abt ur problem...but u could make it!
So once again I get off the plane and run and ask an agent and the agent goes oh u can make it just run it's sunday and a holiday there is no traffic...so I wait for my bags which took another 25 mins and then run into a can saying to JFK plz HURRY my flight is in 1 hour mins and he says oh it takes 30 mins to get there..so I just had to pray in the cab and keep my fingers crossed he drove like a mad man and we got there in 20 mins and I went in and just JUST got my flight back to london!
AHHHH that was hectic...but I enjoyed my stay! Oh yeah in the airport whenever I got to the security check point they keep on bullshitin me and say oh ur a random check plz come with me and they check my bags and shit....yeah right I was a random...bullshit! Just becuz am an arab they think am a terrorist and they have to go through stupid security checks ...so yeah whatever!
So got back to U.K. and am sooooooo in the "jet lag" phase I actually fall asleep at 4:00p.m. and wake up at 10:30 p.m. and then I can't sleep until 5:00 a.m. and then get up at 7:30 a.m. messed up I know...and so I have two nights to unpack and pack again becuz am going home for the summer!! Yay!!! Am leaving for home tomorrow so I might be a bit busy and slow with updates ...
p.s. (A big fast juicy kiss to my panda ;o) )
