that movie is my life right now.
its sometime in the middle of the night here in london, at the place completely void of charm and comfort, otherwise known as heathrow airport. its quite a challenge to keep yourself awake all night with nothing to do! i didnt know untill now that international airports are allowed to close up shop. everything is closed, besides this internet point. a total gouger by the way. £2 per 20 minutes. one us dollar amounts to .36 pence...which means that this little blog in a lame attempt to keep my mind alive is costing me somewhere arounf $17 per hour. lovely.
my flight from athens was nice. really nice!! i reccomend brittish airways completely!!
it was only a 4 hour flight that left at 7 pm...much past the regulated dinner hour, but we got fed anyways. always a bonus in my book...and the seats were leather. and they played a good movie. (amazing grace...watch it!!) so all in all a nice experience. good thing i had that to remember, becuase this certainly isnt what id call a pleasant experience...and this blog is taking up the last of my quid...so then im stuck with the option of an incessant amount of journaling...which has already been happening...and i dont know how much more i can take of that racket.
perhaps its time for me to strike up a random conversation with the other 3 people camped out in terminal 1. why not...its 2 am...what the heck else are we gonna do?? or maybe they would rather play a game of cards?? poker with complete strangers in the middle of the night at the airport?? yes please.
well, unfortunately my rip off amount of time is up here. so...yeah, if you need me ill be sitting on the metal chair by the coke machine...

I cant believe you are on your way home. By the time you read this you may already be home. Your flight sounded really nice. I love the movie Amazing Grace. We are praying for safe travels as you end this adventure. I'm sure that you and Hannah will have many stories to tell.
In all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths.
I for one know completely how you feel right now. Had to sleep overnite at the United Airline wing of Newark Airport in a blizzard, Feb. 1986. you were 1 at the time so maby you do not remember. Well see you tomorrow nite, love you so! Dad
haha wow you are so close to home. well, i mean not really. but you'll fly out of that airport, bound for america (sad, aren't you?) But I am not sad. I am flippin' happy. I am bopping in my hotel room across the river from Manhattan in good ol' jersey. I think my hotel is the center point for blackmarket shuttle bus drivers (i'll have to fill you in on that). you probably won't read this until you're home, but just so you know, I hope your trip was all that you'd hoped and more (haha how is that for dramatic?) And from what i've read, it sounds like it. Can't wait to see you.
ps-amazing grace is an amazing movie. Also, you need to watch Amelie, if you haven't already. completely amazing french film. watch it! we could watch it together! ahh you're coming home. i've said that about a million times now. talk to you later
ahhh! how funny! hope you struck up some conversations with the other random airport campers! what a life. you are so cultured now. hope the rest of your travels smoothly. and thanks for the movie review.. i've been wondering if amazing grace was good. :)
I have done this several times as well. The worst was in Amsterdam, not a place you want to be at night by yourself. Anyway, glad your almost home!

keeping the face on....
Thanks for "buying" me those emails you sent :) I guess I am worth $17 dollars/hr after all.
Cant wait to see you in all your cultured glory.
Love you!
