Airline Karma.


Usually when i travel I get stuck next to real genuine creeps. However when I flew to London on Tuesday Evening from South Africa, I couldn't believe my luck when there was no-one sitting next to me. (You know that feeling when you start getting nervous that some late-passenger is going to just swoop in, in some kind of whirlwind and ruin your free-seat vibe. And you start a silent chant to the air-hostesses CLOSE THE DOOR. CLOSE THE DOOR. CLOSE THE DOOR. Well my chanting worked and I had a whole two seats up against the window all to myself all the way to Dubai. Score

Then when I boarded the flight from Dubai, and there were THREE seats all to myself, I couldn't possibly believe that it was going to happen again. So I waited very patiently for the seat-thieves but they never came and I had three whole seats all to myself. I was basically flying in a bed. With three pillows and three blankets. Not that I was super cold, but you know, just because I could.

When I landed (feeling very refreshed and well rested) and opened my suitcase at Warr's house... I discovered that my (very expensive) shampoo had leaked over all my clothes. (and ruined half the paper that I decided to bring)

so we (warren) shoved the shampoo clothes into the washing machinePhotobucket Photobucket Photobucket

quite similar to this experience, although - entirely our fault.

I'm so sad for your pretty paper! I am notoriously terrible with washing machines and have made them do terrible things. Love your blog lady!

thats superb - I can highly recommend a liquid-and-gel plastic bag for travelling as they CAN be scooped out of the bag in leakage situations and theyre just as great!

everytime i read your blog i laugh! you need to win more blog awards. maybe you could include a lil archive feature in that empty space of yours (you know that one with the green thing), so its easier to go back to older entries please :)
