Blogs from Heathrow Airport, Greater London, England, United Kingdom, Europe - page 10

Beginning of my adventure. Typical of Simpson-Harrison behaviour we set off from Keelby at 10.30am and so due in at Heathrow at 2.30pm... i couldnt check in until 6.30pm!! Got to Heathrow pretty hassel free, managed to express check in as I was so early for my flight. The goodbyes with mum and billy were emotional.. leaving each other at passport control in floods of tears.. lots of people around us thinking they were banishing me from the country!! I managed to calm myself down and wait for my flight.. finally time to board the plane... sat down.. a sudden pang of "Am I mental?? I have to get off this flight now" set the tears flowing again. I then realised that I could watch No Strings Attached with Aston Kutcher and settled into my flight! ... read more

1.00am: So here I am sitting at Heathrow airport, I’m roughly five hours into a thirty six hour journey from Edinburgh back to Melbourne for a surprise visit. I have eight hours left of an eleven and a half hour stopover in London and I’ve now challenged myself to staying up until my flight here leaves at 9.15am, a challenge I will no doubt fail.

The only real stupid thing I did was booking from London instead of Edinburgh, considering I wanted to base myself in Edinburgh or probably Scotland anyway. I’m not entirely sure why I ... read more

Well, I have arrived in her Majesty's glorious country. Now if only our pilot didn't get us here almost an hour to an hour and a half early! I could have used the sleep... I've almost been up for 24 hours, and only slept maybe 2-4 on the plane...it's going to be a LONG day. But, I'm here! I'm finally in the one country that for some reason I have wanted to visited and live in for years! I'm super excited, but also super nervous. I'm excited to see what the city, the country, and the continent have to offer. But I'm nervous about my internship and that nothing will live up to my expectations. I've been building this trip up in my mind for years and now it's finally here and I would probably cry ... read more
