Journey to the West - The Little Ordeal

Ok now... now... I step out of the flight to head to the Terminal 5. I had a connecting flight to get at 10:40AM. Now flight lands at 9:10AM. I get off the flight and get into the bus that was to take us to the Terminal at around 9:40AM. My boarding pass says gate B42 for my connecting flight to SFO. I thought the Terminal is gonna be 'rite around the corner' types. And no points for guessing I was grossly wrong. It was a 15 minute ride to the Terminal. Now starts panic time. Time is 9:45AM and I have exactly 55 mins to get onto the plane. Ofcourse, flights gate close by 10:20AM. :O :O OMG!! I enter Terminal 5 expecting a quick dash to my next flight. Yup I was wrong :D. I enter the terminal and it says Flight connections to my right hand side. I look up to see a nice huge escalator. And I thot it was painfully slow as I was panicking like crazy!! Who wud wanna miss a flight?? I run up a huge escalator along with a few others who had the same flight to catch. But, I can be sure...

Journey to the West - The Flight from MAA to LHR

Glug...Glug.... Glug... Duh.. remember they gave me something to drink??? I am just getting done with it. Glug..glug ...glug... oh no... I jus asked for another drink :D. Man was I hungry or wat at 4.00AM in the morning. Now the flight starts taxiing... and a couple next to me start praying :-s!! I am like...WTH!!!!This is my first international flight .... stop scaring me. However, flights before were fun 'cos I had my family around and it only excited me to travel in aeroplanes before. Not wasting a moment more, Vinay Vijayakumar, ya that is me :D went to sleep. I was meddling with the in-flight entertainment screen and controls and it kinda put me to sleep. I turned the playlist in iPod to my sleep-time playlist and entered a physical state that I was gonna spend the next 10-odd hours. Now, this is the time wen I have no clue of wat time it is. But, from wat I figured, the air-hostess woke me up to give me my Asian Veggie meal.... and I was like ...Uhhh.. Wat.... OMG hot airhost...
