Along the Away

In a dramatic change of behavior I have just leisurely enjoyed a coffee at Sydney International airport while waiting for my boarding gate to open. I texted some friends, talked to my mum on the phone, instagrammed a ‘yay for me!’ shot.

After packing for my last overseas holiday in 90 minutes before a mad dash to the airport I really made an effort to be a bit more organised this time – and it worked!

I have an intentionally packed backpack checked in. I have magazines bought after a browse through the airport newsagents. I was not fielding work calls at the boarding gate this time.

I am in actual fact writing this on the plane while waiting for everyone else to get seated.

Bye Sydney! Take me to New Zealand!
