So, we are on our way!

 

Well, we are on our way! I’m writing this entry from somewhere in the sky, possibly over Europe, I'm not really sure.

As I type this I think I've been awake for about 20 hours or so, with another 20 or so to go at least, will I last the pace? No, I won’t I can feel my self dozing off as I type, and more to the point, it has taken me about 10 minutes to type this. My average is around 30 WPM, clearly I need to sleep, but cant. is it the excitement? is it the long haul flight? or is that I'm passed the stage of caring and just want to get to New Zealand? The smart money is on the latter!

The flight to London wasn't the best, but then with easy jet involved, is anyone surprised? No. Cramped, unorganized and being treated like cattle is the norm on the these domestic flights it seems, oh how I miss proper service.

in Stansted we grabbed a bit to eat and I took a few photos of the sun setting over the airport (one of which is on Facebook!) it was a wonderful send off and hopefully a sign of good things to come.

The flight to Kuala Lumpur (KL) has, so far, restored my faith in air travel! excellent service, wonderful meals and the cabin crew are not to hard on the eyes! (well, the female one’s anyway!)

So far, we have been served out meal in a timely fashion, had cleared away as soon as we finished (restaurants take note!) and my mum has been escorted somewhere more comfortable for her (if she has been upgraded, there will be a row!)

This will Hopefully be posted from KL something in the afternoon UK time, not sure why I’m telling you this, by the time you read this paragraph, the smarter people among you will have noticed that it has been published, like I said, extreme lack of sleep.

I may well have another post ready by the time we land in Christchurch (around 2pm local time) and that being the case, I shall make sure to include some photos and maybe even a video! (ooooh)

Anyway, must go and try to get some sleep, Night night all!
