Airport...

So, I'm at the airport, about to board in under 15 or so minutes. It still hasn't sunk in that my two weeks are over. I'm sure after some rest at home it'll hit me...

I tried to make peace with Myriam's dad by thanking him and going out of my way to say bye to him. I also gave Myriam some money to get some flowers from me to say thanks as well as some money toward her trip to see me in the uk next year.

The last day was pretty hectic, we woke up early, but it didn't seem to be early enough as we were still rushing about at the last moment trying to get everything packed and ready for checkout from the hotel at 11. My pneumonia is also giving me wild temperature swings today, from really cold to boiling hot, and sadly it mainly seems to like making me boiling hot...

We got out of the hotel, just gone 11 and headed back to Myriam's house where we relaxed and watched a bit of Sliding Doors before having a steak lunch. I really wasn't hungry at all. After that we watched some more of the movie and then it was time to go.

The shuttle from Manchester to Boston was weird, it was in two parts joined in the middle by some sort of dodgy "drug-deal" type affair where passengers swap shuttles depending on their destination... It got me here, so I can't complain!

Airport check-in was a nightmare, 2 desks open and about 100 people waiting. It turned into a freeforall when a desk was free, people cutting lines, ducking the divides... I was waiting about 30 minutes in the end to check in. Security was a different beast, it was quick, easy and quite thorough, the body scanner things are weird - they had to check my arm for some reason...

Anyway, here I am at gate E8A, about to get on the plane... iPad battery sits at 59% hold in there... I'm sure it'll make it through the flight and then some!

TTFN, hopefully I'll update this when I land at Heathrow in about 8ish hours time.
