I think I have perfected the art of being long winded but
today I’m trying something a little different. I’m sitting in the airport
terminal in Detroit, US and killing time; It is just over two hours before
we’re due to depart for Amsterdam. My laptop has to run on battery power so I’m
thinking let’s not spend it all in one
go, uh?
A few random thoughts hot off the press...
I haven’t mastered the art of travelling light. I either
pack too little or too much. The irony is that when I’ve packed too little, I needed what I didn’t bring. In the same
way, when I’ve packed too much, I haven’t
needed it; go figure! I suspect Murphy has invited himself to the party…
On this particular trip using the bathroom is like booking
into a hotel and I have to find a cubicle that is big enough to fit me, my
carry on suitcase, my laptop, my pillow and all 4 coats and jackets. I’ve
dressed somewhat in layers, you see, for the items that did not fit into my
luggage, yet cannot be left behind. You’re not suppose to leave any luggage unattended
but when there’s just one of you and that one needs to use the bathroom there
isn’t exactly anyone else to keep an eye, is there? Usually I don’t mind
travelling alone but as I fight my way to the porcelain throne I wish I was a
twin. Why can’t this just be home and I could pack light to visit South Africa?
I’d much rather prefer that.
