You booked your air tickets and there is 2 months to go. You are very excited about the upcoming trip, you are about to devote your time on the itinerary, spending hours of researches about the places to visit, eat & sleep.....
1 month to go, your mind is full of pictures about the place that we are going; imagining about the things that you will encounter: the people you will meet on the journey, the place that you are staying, the street, the smell of food, the one who is going to share the moment with you....
Tomorrow is D day, you will sleep little tonight as you are too excited about this long awaiting trip, you will set more alarm clocks to make sure that you will wake up on time.
Today is here, you are feeling a little tired but that's not the same as usual, you are energized and your mood is at the peak, nothing is as good as this. From the moment you shut your door, carry the suitcase and wait for the cab or coach to the airport; arriving the airport, check in and pass through the custom control, wonder around the duty-free shops or grap a drinks. Although you can't wait to take off, but you are still very much enjoying it as your holiday is already began!
Time to take off, if lucky enough you would have hundreds of movies to watch in front of you accompanied by some refreshment & snacks. After the meal you might take a nap..... and then a breakfast; Your pilot tell you that the plane is 30 mins away from the destination and not long after the plane land smoothly. Now is the hard part- you are impatient about the queue at the immigration, the baggage control as you can't wait to get out of the airport. Finally you are at the arrival hall and you are heading to your first destination. On the way you get to see a bit such as billboards and low rise housings but nothing much.
After a long trip you finally get there.
Most of our PN people have never been to other countries so they may not know how it's feel, but after telling this story they know what they are meant to your journey, we are your temporary home. As your 'temporary' family members, they will give you a warm welcome and take care of you, make sure you have a good start for this unforgettable memory.
Have a slow life!
