A digital misfit

Damn, how did i let that happen? I’d forgotten how much i love travelling… And i’ve hardly even started yet.

Waiting in a cafe for boarding time, overlooking the taxiways, brings back so many memories, journeys to a bright new future. This isn’t one of those, of course, but the memories are there, the dreams, the anticipation, the feeling of tiredness even before the jetlag kicks in.

‘please wait’. No gate yet. Its rush and pause alternating. There’s an air of urgency all around, people late for their flight, not knowing what they are doing or where they are going. And there’s waiting. Watching. Feeling. Dreaming.

  1. Hmmm does sound great! Stop it or my feet will get itchy again!!
    When I was young, I used to skip school and go to the airport and just drink it all in and dream of flying away – silly really :-)

    Also, sweetie darling, I don’t do public transport!! Solution, get a taxi!

    • I think a taxi to Madrid would be a little beyond even the extensive budget of Refresh Mobile….not to mention quite a tedious journey…now driving that myself would be another story but one for when I get some new wheels….

      …and I found, once i got on the plane, that I’d accidentally booked myself up front and there weren’t a lot of us there so I got a row to myself, I’m used to the squish down back where theres no legroom and too many screaming children.
