3 weeks to lift off!
Oh my god! What would be one of the stupidest things to do 3 weeks before flying? Oh yes, losing my passport, and not just – its here somewhere I just need to find out where – no in true Jen style I managed to leave it on a plane! Eeek!
It was such a lovely weekend; me and my boyfriend Enzo, went to Dublin for the weekend instead of buying big birthday and Christmas pressies. We had a fantastic time soaking up the sights of the city, from Trinity Library to Kilmainham Gaol and listening to an ace busker band Mutefish, (check them out on YouTube). Tired from an exhausting day we boarded the plane at Dublin, fell asleep on the flight home and trotted up to customs at Stansted where the initially mild panic set in. ‘Honestly honey please don’t wind me up I’m tired and want to go home’, I whined whilst Enzo finally managed to convince me that i had taken my passport as I needed to board the plane in the first place, a good and valid point but not helpful as I didn’t infact, still have it. It took us some time to convince the officials to at least try and find it for me although no time at all to let me through immigration controls….
Alas, I then spent the next morning ringing up and arranging for a new passport which could take up to a week, not accounting for Christmas which is fine unless you have just banked on the fact you would spending the next two and a half months in Peru, I prayed it wouldn’t be rainforest pictures in Milton Keynes instead!
A rather despairing Jen x
