Home Again

The taxi came at 10:00 to take me to the airport - an uneventful trip, and I had soon booked my big bag through to Glasgow and got through security. I found the internet cafe and settled down to write some of this blog, and managed several posts before the flight was called.

We boarded on time, but then heard that China was not happy about the plane flying over their territory, so we had to wait for clearance; nearly an hour after boarding we finally took off. I got a window seat and was able to look out as we flew over China and Mongolia, but over UB we had to close the shutters for some reason, so I watched movies and read. Meals appeared - quite nice veggie food - and we got up a couple of times for a wander. Basically, though, we had 12 hours or so in the plane and I was very glad to see Heathrow.  As we began to descend, we opened the shutters again and ice patterns had formed on the window...

I got dinner in Gordon Ramsay's Plane Food restaurant - a bit of a treat - then headed off to find the flight to Glasgow. Another uneventful hop, and I was back in Glasgow - but where was the Bag? It was in the international baggage, of course, because it came direct from Seoul. Having sorted that out, there was Hamish waiting for me - he'd spotted me some time before, but I was fretting over luggage!

Back home, cup of tea and off to my own bed for a good sleep. ZZZzzzZZZzzz...
