ON THE WAY!

i am in the airport going through customs.

they check my carry on bag, and put me through a metal detector.

im waiting patiently for my bag to come through and i am so excited about my holiday.

i cant wait.

i finally get my bag back and they start boarding the aeroplane.

i board the plane and wait patiently in my crammed "economy class" seat.

i have been given the opportunity to travel the world and see some of the worlds geographical sites. its amazing!!!

then they finally say that the flight is going to takeoff and the estimated time of arrival will be in 32 hours!

Greaaat! oh and i heard form my friend that the aeroplane food is fantastic (not)!

then as im sitting there the nerves start to kick in...

what if it is freezing? what happens if i didnt bring enough clothes? what happens if the polar bears hunt me down and try to eat me?!!! i am sitting here shaking and have a weird expression on my face and the person next to me is staring at me like they have dropped their guts and are trying to hide it.

i calm myself down and start reading a magazine i bought from the discount store...



the voice over orders the cabin crew to take their seats as we will be taking off immediatly.

we have started to gain speed and the next thing you know the aircraft has taken off..

im off to my first destination... ANTARTICA!



luv ya heaps...

laura the explorer..
