So I am sitting here alone on the plane and I am not half as scared or as bored as I thought I would be I just woke up from a pretty good nap and now I am getting excited. There is an empty seat between me and the guy next to me so we are both sitting comfortably. This plane is by far the best one I have ever been on. The head rest is curved so you can lay to the side without having to hold the pillow up to your head. And then each seat has its own television with 12 different stations and two different show times. The magazine said The Sixth Sense was playing but they played Thomas Crown Afar instead and I did not want to see that. I started watching Double Jeopardy and that is when I fell asleep. Each seat has a digital remote control too for the television and radio and lights and stuff and then you flip it over and it is a phone. And the little table has a separate cup holder. I am definitely travelling in style. The food I could do without though. They had this potato salad that looked good but it that shrimp in it and I was not taking any chances and there was a pasta with marinara sauce, ground beef, spinach, ricotta cheese and mozzarella cheese and all of these together is a little too much. But they did have chocolate cheesecake! I did not end up having a drink like Rania was telling me too. There is a cute steward and he reminded me of someone but I will never figure out who. And I should probably note that I got hit on my the first guy already. I noticed him totally staring as I was walking on to the plane. Then when I went to the bathroom he saw me and when I came out of the bathroom he was standing there and he apologized for nothing and was asking if the flight was ok. Then he stood there until he saw where I was sitting. Enough about the plane though. It is bright out now and you can see the land.
At the airport earlier today it was just the family and Rania and Joanna, everyone I wanted there and no one extra. We all cried, even dad. I never really understood what I was doing and I still really don't so I was ok. In a way, it worked out better like that. I think I am both happy and sad and I don't know which one to show. But from here on, I need to be excited because I will spoil this if I am upset all the time. We saw Amber at the airport too. It was weird and cold. She is engaged and a dropout but that is no big surprise. If I keep writing like this, I will need more journals...
Ok so I am always flying British from now on. Heathrow airport was awesome. People always talk about duty free shops but I had never really seen so many. I found the nicest Christian Dior perfume "Dioever" which is exclusive to four airports. I could have spent endless hours there. And I did go to Harrod's and I even bought Babs a pencil (for $5). I figured I could not go to England and not get my sister somehting. When we were on the bus going from the plane tot he airport, we were driving down this little street and suddenly three buses came zooming from the right. I thought the people were crazy and then it clicked... I was in Englad. So of course I got really excited and started looking for all the cars. Now I am on the second plane and we are going to land in half an hour. He just said it was 11 degree C in Greece!!! This has been an ok flight. We got some yummy balsamic pretzels. There is this cute guy on it that I noticed in Chicago. And we are sitting in the same section of three but there is an English guy between us. I did talk to him though which is great for me. We bonded over the cool TV's on the other plane.The English guy is pretty cool too. He works in Macedonia but I had some problems understanding him. I did have one small problem with this airline though when they made me check in my carry on. They actually took a big load off but that bag is so valuable I don't know what I would do if they lost it. Well the only thing left to do now is get to Greece. This is the first time I can ever remember where I am not jumping in my seat.
