So I sit here in the departure lounge, runny nose and cough, headphones in, and it becomes apparent that besides 2 white haired males and mature lady with short badly dyed orage hair... i'm the only blonde on this trip.. also one of the only English!! where are all the holiday makers?? Sian was excited about the idea that i might sit next to a hunky guy on the plane, well looks like the chances are gonna be one in 60!! The departure lounge already has a smell of curry about it ... here starts my holiday :o)
I'm nervous, i'm excited although it is now heading more to the excited side... the worries of home and my cats are now sliping as there is nothing more I can do now. I had some keys cut to hand out you see, the day before leaving, and well they didn't work!! disaster, I was running and ringing around friends to trying to track some down. Good luck to sian who is gonna get them changed.
In my bag are a couple of pressies for Christmas, travel books, socks, sarong, scarf, a pillow (little one) and 3 little fellows i got at
airport at becky's request (although she said to get 12??!!!) and Sian & Pam's shock, well and mine!! I never buy them and they will no doubt travel back with me LOL the though of disease ridden holiday makers!! hmmm...
The plane is not a jumbo so TV's on board??? oh lord let it be yes.!!!
Oh yes and oh very very yes. Not a first class flight ticket but still very classy, space, TV oh but not just a TV it's home from home with the only thing lacking being the internet! your own consul with films Tv, music, games... great. Got a nice spangly menue to choose dinner and got a rather strong brandy, watched sex in City and got tearful, laughed out loud haha... great film Gave me my first soul searching thought for the day... "love... am I too hard on it?? too unforgiving??" will think on that one.
Sat next to a young student doc heading home for holidays to Doha, his name was Daha haha Doha/Daha ... He thought I was quite intelligent as I kept getting answers to Millionnaire correct.. lol i was impressed too!

Nausea hit on the decent to
Doha eewwwwaahhhh glad I ate earlier as sure can't now!
Even managed to pick up 2 Riyals (Qatar central Bank money) buying a cola in airport. Can add to my world money collection.
Flight doha to Singapore was slightly older plane, not so much room but slept most of it. Had noodles for breakfast.
Arrive Singapore 3.30pm and Jay there to pick me up. It's 30 degrees and humid... lovely. Jays place is lovely apartment.
Went out with fern in Eve to beach and bars, I was quite jet lagged and feeling dizzy but it had to be done. It was great fun, beautiful beach area although it does look over harbour areas, well lots of container ships in distance, not suprising as Singapore is a major world port. Chilled at bar lounging on beach sofas, drank tiger beer, had dance on sand, watched fire dancers, and crazy drink infested people dance and play. Fern met some people she knew and ended up in pool at bar, I really wanted to jump in but still need to get rid of this cold and cough so watched.
Am absolutely shattered! sleep

Then gonna head to Ho Chi Min in Vietnam and wonder about. then I'm gonna head to Krabi and around (Fern might join me there?) then of to Ko Samui and Ko Pha Ngan.
