Airport Life

Sometimes I feel like I spend a lot of my life looking at the inside walls of airports. Though I can't say I have done anything crazy like do a cool dance routine down the escalators, but I'm keen as a bean so someone come up with a game plan and hit ya girl up and we shall put it into action.

The best thing to happen to me in an airport was when the airline I was flying with over booked the plane and offered to pay me, plus free accommodation and food to stay and extra day in Los Angeles. Uh HELL YES that's a no brainer! Second to that was seeing Seal and Heidi Klum (when they were married) walking out of the gate next to mine.

Worst thing: Standing up to quickly to board the plane which lead to my knee popping out and back in again - yikes. Lying on the floor with a group of people googly eyeing me trying to help but not was really a highlight of my day, followed by hobbling onto the plane with my swollen knee in tow.

Travel plans never seem to go my way but that's ok Its all in the adventure. The other day I got up with the intention to catch my 12:15pm flight from St Louis to New York. Well let me tell you that didn't happen, first I was dropped of at the wrong terminal. Great I now have an hour to shuttle to terminal 2, check in my bags, go through security and get to my flight. I arrive at the counter stressing I'm going to miss my flight (last time I was at St. Louis airport I miss 2 flights hah my bad) as I'm getting checked in I get in formed that my flight is delayed - ok I can deal with that. BUT this means I will miss my connecting flight in Chicago. My flights get re arranged and change to 6:30 pm. Fantastic I have 7 hours in the airport to kill and the airport only gives 20 minutes complimentary Wi-Fi ugh. What if I want longer to surf the Internet? I have to pay $5 to get only an hour, double ugh! I'm poor traveller just give me free Wi-Fi please *a million sad face*

Must haves for the traveling life:

• Passport duh

• A warm sweatshirt or/and scarf for when it gets cold in the plane or airport

• Phone (other electronic devices) charger plus adapter

• Headphones

• Mini beauty bag with all you essentials:

Lip balm, moisturiser, wet wipes, hair ties and deodorant

• Sleeping pills and Advil

• Something to read

• Water bottle

• Eye mask and ear plug

• Travel socks

But I would take a 7 hour delayed plane trip over a bus any day!
