Flying like an eagle

Hey all, as you've probably realised I have left for my extended holiday. Everything happened without a hitch, except for my retarted best friend who didn't realize he needed to pick up his travel documents before leaving, and we didn't realize this until we were on our way to the airport. (So quick thanks to mum for the detour, and a one handed clap for STA for being shite!) As a result of the late check-in we ended up getting two seats in the middle of a row of four for the 8 hour flight to Singapore. To make matters worse, I ended up sitting next to a little old lady who was about 90, and her only English was a grunt. For the next eight hours, i found I couldn't go to the bathroom her way as she couldn't hop up (wasn't really working for me after a scotch or two), I also found my self as designated carer to remove her alfoil from her meals, and watch the little devil drop food down next to me and just grunt with a smile because she knew that she wouldn't bother trying to pick it up. Somehow I managed to control my bladder, and even made a new 90 year old friend at the same time....what an adventure lol

Made it to Singapore, where we got to chill in Changi airport for about 3 hours. It gave us just enough time to have a quick look through the shops and had a drink of chivas, courtesy of the duty free store. We also tried out Burger King, and found that a triple bacon burger is a great punch to the heart, and made a new aussie friend who we had the most expensive beers ever with in the airport bar ($15 for a schooner of tiger...what a rip!) Our next flight was BA to London and went really well, with both of us having a row of three seats to sleep on for the leg, which dropped us safe and sound in London at 5:30am.
