Half Way There....Literally

Well, arrived in Dubai.  Not managed to sleep on the plane....didn't think the guy next to me would appreciate me nodding off on his shoulder lol!

Another 7 hour flight to Beijing then the real adventure begins.  Decided that i'm gonna take it a week at a time and as my dear ole daddy said....just treat it like a holiday!

Could do with staying awake until Beijing to keep the jet lag at bay so i'm doping up on Red Bull and coffee.  Not a great idea when all the toilet queues are 15 people deep minimum!!  Not hungry so this may be the start of my diet haha.  A guy I was speaking to on the plane said the humidity in China is immense so gonna look like a drowned rat for a month....again, more weight loss.  Don't worry mum i'm sure i'll eat to compensate with all the lavely chinese food i'll be eating nom nom.

If I new they had showers here I would have brought a towel coz I feel yucky (Thanks for the heads up Chris...however I found the 'bed' seats, well comfy).  Time to scrape my hair back to a grease mess ewwww.

Signing off for now x x x x x

T minus 4 days

Well.....its finally drawing closer!!!  4 days to go and everyone keeps asking me if i'm nervous.  The answer truly is 'I don't know'.  Trying not to think too much about it to be honest because I spent my 1st 2 weeks off work stressing and feeling sick as a dog!

As someone once said to me....JFDI!  Thanks Jayne, I'm finally taking that onboard.

Just emailed Emirates to sneak an upgrade...we'll see?  Not much left to do now.  Looking forward to my family meal and my little bro's birthday.   Let the countdown continue....
