It's good to be home

[roguem]

Had quite a trip yesterday.
Was driven to Heatrow by a very cheerful taxi driver. He was really funny and amusing.
Got to Heathrow, checked in, sat down and waited... it's 15 minutes till my flight leaves and they finally list it as delayed by 30 minutes. That means I only have 15 minutes in Oslo, so I go to a help desk to check my options, was helpful.
I return to the screen, and find out the flight's been delayed another 20 minutes.
When we finally get on the plane, there's no apology or anything, just some lame story about how they're driver made them an hour late... and all I can think is that we have to check in 2 hours before take off, they should sure as hell manage to get there in time too. I was getting used to the idea of having the night at a hotel in Oslo, cos when I looked at my watch it was take off time for my next flight. While on our way in for landing we're told that passangers going to Kristiansand have to go to gate 22. I see a glimpse of hope.
Rush of the plane, end up in a pass port check que that doesn't move, and kind of give up hope again. Get out, collect my bags, hurry up, find that there are no people there. Find a screen that says gate closing, and run like hell, with one 10kg bag and a 20kg bag = heavy. There were no security checks open, get rushed through the one for the pilots, run like hell again, reach the gate out of breath near to having an athma attack. The gate is empty... I feel like giving up when suddenly a woman comes throught the doors, I'm so out of breath I barely manage to ask if I can still get on, when two other passangers run up behind me. She lets us in, and I have to drop my bag through a shute to get it under the plane. I sit, still out of breath. But very happy to be on the plane. Turns out they were waiting for us, and some other people, so we sit there for a while and finally depart after a small family has boarded the plane... That plane is about an hour and a half late.
I finally get home to my family! beluga was with my parents to the airport, she's moved in. :) Was good to see them again.
I was home at about 2 a.m. Didn't really get to sleep till about 3 a.m. Rather tired and exhausted.

Today was a calm day. isil80 stopped by, we watched 'Supernatural' eps 4-10. I love that show!!! My fave episode has to be ep 5; 'Phantom Traveler'. Brilliant.
Topped it off with two episodes of 'House', think beluga liked it... must find more episodes.

omg Phantom Traveler is a great ep! Dean was so proud of his home-made EVP thing. And when he was scared of flying, adorable! :D

It's the best eppy ever, Dean's face when Sam tells him the EVP thing is crap... awwwww *huggles him*
I love it when he says: Why do you think I drive everywhere?
SO gooooood!

aw they kept the plane waiting for you? Yay :D I'm glad you got home safely sounds like quite a trip!! Have fun with beluga!

[roguem.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much. :D
Am very happy I made it home, am rather sick of planes at the moment.
We're having loads of fun. Have a lot of viewing to catch up on. :D

Oh wow! Seems like you had quite an adventure at the airport! I'm glad everything worked out for you though. :)

I've never seen Supernatural. I just can never remember when it's on or anything. Hehe. I'll try to catch an episode cause everyone is saying it's good. :)

[roguem.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I was very happy to finally get home at the end.

You have to watch it! It's so good. They're showing reruns at the moment. :)

[tygerx.livejournal.com]

Wow, sounds like you had an Amazing Race moment there! lol.. That was a close one, glad they waited!

I still have to watch the last 2 ep's of Supernatural.. always behind! :P Good to know they're good ones though. I've been meaning to mention that the actor who plays Dean used to be on the soap I watch 'Days of our Lives'. He was Eric Brady. So when I watch this show I can't help think of his character! lol

[roguem.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I was very happy to get on that plane, and to finally get home. :D

Hehe, I knew he was on DooL, never saw it though. I've seen him briefly in other stuff... am awaiting the Dark Angel DVD set so I can check him out in that.

[tygerx.livejournal.com]

Thankfully no phantoms right? ;P

Didn't know he was on Dark Angel. He started kinda young on DOOL.. had longer hair, heh

[roguem.livejournal.com]

Hehe, no phantoms, just some turbulence. ;)

Me neither, but have now ordered both seasons, apparantly he's pretty much a regular in season 2.

[tygerx.livejournal.com]

are you sure??? CHRISTO!! *watches for black eyes* ;)

cool! only watched a couple of ep's of that show.. seemed like something i'd like but just never kept up with it.

[roguem.livejournal.com]

Haha, I considered saying it when I boarded the plane... how sad is that? ;p

Got them today, am watching season 1 now, he hasn't shown up yet, but I suspect we won't see him till the last eppy.

[tygerx.livejournal.com]

heh heh, I'd probably be tempted too! ;) Have fun watching!

[roguem.livejournal.com]

Hehe. As if it wasn't bad enough that I check that the trey is secure everytime I'm on a plane after I saw 'Final Destination'. *shakes head*

I finished season 1 yesterday. He was in one episode, but he was very good. A bit psycho, but he did a very good job.
Will start season 2 tonight. :D

lol.. the power of movies! ;) enjoy the rest!

[roguem.livejournal.com]

I am, now that Jensen's popped up. ;)

[tygerx.livejournal.com]

[trav28.livejournal.com]

Good to see you made it back safely!

[roguem.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :)

Aw, sorry about all your trouble!

[idic-writer.livejournal.com]

I also like Supernatural, and have just seen the ep where they go back to their old house--so I'm a little behind. :)

Re: Aw, sorry about all your trouble!

[roguem.livejournal.com]

Well I'm home now, so no worries. :D

Think that's episode 9, so you're not to far behind. :)
