to go.
My lovely girlfriend was brave enough to drive me all the way out to the airport and made
it back safely. I got through the check in and security no problem
and went on to get some Irish salmon at Wright's of Howth as I have
arranged to meet up with my Mom in Frankfurt. And of course I
couldn't show up without a thank you for making all the way down from
Duesseldorf.
On the plane I realized that the “window” seat I asked for was more of a “wall” seat
as it was in the emergency exit row which didn't' have any windows. But, fair enough, this shouldn't be a problem. When I got to Frankfurt I had a bit of a stroll through the vast airport until my Mom arrived. It was the first time she met without glasses, so there was plenty of catch up to do. After a bit of dinner, the excitement for the trip ahead increased and the time to take off decreased.
The plane I was about to take was an Airbus A380 and it is pretty impressive when you see
it through the windows and are about to board. I quickly found my seat and got comfortable. There was an USB socket to charge the phone so “no worries” when I get there. Dinner was nice actually. It was spicy beef with rice and for Airplane food, you really couldn't complain. The films I chose to watch were not really satisfactory (Pacific Rim = Very bad & The Berlin File = it was ok) but killed the time. A couple of sets of a few minutes of sleep in embryo position also got me through the flight.
