Woody's Wandering Wonders

Oh what do we do to ourselves? I know that my first train leaves at 11:40am from a station I’ve never been to before My dad, ever helpful, booked me a taxi for the 0.7mile walk. To leave the house at 10:50 ……. First train Got to the station, no one around. No signs to start with. Had to do a bit of “well it looks like this is the way…” and then Yay signs, I see signs!!! Whoop whoop But then I have a nearly 50 minute wait before the train turns up  🤪 End up, for the one stop I’m on that train, sitting opposite a really cute little lad with dinosaurs and a propensity for sticking his tongue out and blowing raspberries at me. I laughed most of the way and played dinosaurs with him. Fun ! Second train Next station, signs abound for which way to the platforms, but you have to follow several of them before you find out if you’re going the right way or not, what’s up with that  🤣 Now sat opposite 2 lads, who are probably uni age. Very polite. Moved really quickly when I pointed out...

At the airport Walking in to departures I find my booking desk is at the other end of the airport (yay that’ll count towards my steps at least) What is this I see?? there is No Queue !!! how is this possible 😱😂 I start walking up to the line to hear… “Excuse me sir, desk 33 please, desk 33 sir”, so I turn round as the person is speaking behind me and I want to get out of the guy’s way, to which the lady speaking goes bright red in the face and says “oh I’m so sorry, I mean madam, desk 33 madam”. OMG! I really did laugh out loud with that. First time since I was 12 I was mistaken for a male. To give a pass to her, she was stood behind me, I’m carrying a man’s 701 osprey charcoal backpack, and I’m wearing a hat so you can’t see my hair or any curves 😂😂😂. Anyway, you get the picture, there is no queue and I get straight to the desk with no time to sort my luggage.  Luggage you say? I thought you had a backpack? Well yes I do, but it’s too big for hand luggage and it has the cute ...

Hey, Thanks for visiting my blog, hope you enjoy my journey around America as much as I am hoping to 🥰 My journey starts in Spain …. The day started as expected, alarm went off at 6.30, followed by a shower, quick look round to check I have everything packed, and that I have left the flat clean for my sister’s visit next month.  Ok I’ve left the flat, backpack on, laptop in hand and the last of the rubbish to get rid of before setting off for airport. Yay! Go me! ALL GOOD SO FAR 🎉🎉🎉 And then imagine my surprise, no taxis in the rank 😱 there are always taxis what is happening!? Ok ok don’t panic, I can get the bus, there I am congratulating myself for planning in extra time for “just in case” aannnddd the bus looks near capacity and the stop has a lot of people.  Luckily I got the last spot on the bus. Yay
