Tradeshow season is back on so I guess the airmiles will rack up again. Here’s how yesterday’s fun and games started out:
2.50am alarm
3.00am struggle to wash and dress whilst being mystified that there is a 3am at the beginning not end of the day
3.30am leave house
3.35am really leave house only this time with all the stuff previously left on kitchen table
3.36am wrestle with sat nav which can’t find either the airport *sigh* or the car park I was planning to head to
4.55am arrive airport (eek it is further than I thought) – see signs for economy parking – things are looking ok
5.00am wow this place is miles away from the airport….still going
5.05am arrive Newark airport parking
5.15am still driving round f.ing carpark in bus. Grrrrr
6.10am flight to Dulles
7.30am arrival in Dulles – the worst airport on the planet
7.32am things looking up there is a Starbucks
7.35am it gets better – just seen sign to “International First Class Lounge”. Marvellous
7.41am after battling through the pikey hellhole, turns out that lounge does not open until 10am – exactly 30 mins after my flight leaves. Grrrrrr
7.50am found somewhere to sit and connect to Internet so I can do email
9.30am off to LHR
