Heading to the airport

Today I said goodbye to the family after spending a very enjoyable New Years eve at my parents house. We had my sister Ingrid over with her boyfreind Chris and their daughter Nicole. My mum was a champ with the food ( she has been the whole time I was back! ) and cooked juicy thick steaks. We drank wine ( except Chris who steadfastly refuses alcohol when he’s driving ) and that later changed to Guinness for me.

The evening turned into a card session between me, my brother and the parents with good conversation and snacks. Our evening finished at 3am.

This morning I was definitely moving slower than normal though not in a terrible state. Chris and I headed off to Gatwick for my 4.45pm flight. Chris has been another real champ letting me stay at his place in Hertford and driving me all over the place, hope he visit us out in Bali.

Today was a typical wet one with conditions resembling that day Sean and I had in Santa Barbara on the campus crawl.

Checking in at Gatwick was super quick, New Year’s Day isn’t a popular time to travel, but good if you want an empty airport. I was finally heading out and drank a coffee with Chris before boarding. My guts were coming back to life and I was trying to be as lifelike as possible.
