Alex in the airport...

So,

Not a great start! I am sitting in Belfast International and my flight to Gatwick is delayed! Well at least I'm not waiting to connect. My flight to China is tomorrow.

Today I said goodbye to my mum and dad and had a little weepy moment. I'm not surprised though as I cry at anything...literally anything. I'm excited but it still doesn't feel real...I have sat in this airport before so it just feels like i'm going over to see Dave for a bit.

I'm pretty sure i'm going to feel it when i'm in Heathrow tomorrow evening.

Although I bet I post again if i'm bored...

See ya.(Although i'm pretty sure no-one is reading this yet!)

First post - one month to go!

I decided to set up a blog about my experience in China, primarily so my family can see what i'm up to, but if you are new then Hi! I have one month to go as I'm leaving on the 26/08/09 from London Heathrow, can't wait to be in the airport waiting to go! Then its a little over 10 hours til we land in Beijing. We have a stopover time of 5 hours and then its off for a tiny flight of 50 mins to Jinan.

I am desperately hoping that the plane to Beijing has those little TV's in the seat backs, otherwise I'm going to get verrrry bored!

I have spent the last week at Dave's sorting out getting our visas and then getting our flights. But now everything is ready and I just have to finish my TEFL course! And pack of course. And clear out my bedroom....

Anyway, I don't think i'll be posting anymore till i'm at least at the airport so goodbye for now!
