Suitcase Moment

On By Enjoying SunshineIn LifeLeave a comment

I love going on holidays!! just to disconnect from the daily routine and work!! Because now I live in Ireland, any holidays I (well, WE) plan are to sunny destinations. The sun, the sand, the sea, cocktails, parties, siestas,… I love everything of it!!

But here is when I comes the trouble… what do I take with me? The thing is … I like shopping, I can’t help it!! and in summer I buy a lot of clothes that I can’t get to wear in Dublin, so I always say to myself: I will wear them when I go on holidays 😀

So now, I am in my “suitcase moment” when I need to decide what to take with me. Ok, I am not rich and I don’t have SO many clothes either, but in moments like this I would like to have an assistant to prepare my luggage and to tell me what I should take with me. What to wear? I have checked the weather forecast so I know that it’s going to be sunny. Clothes for the day, clothes for the night, accessories (sunglasses, hats, a man……) Let’s face it: it is never too many clothes!! even if you know (but you will never confess it) that you won’t be able to wear them all

Now that I have put everything in the suitcase I just need to close it. After trying to close it (pretending It is not too much for the size of the suitcase) I end up sitting on top of it, pushing the clothes inside with a spatula while I try to zip it, … Yeahhh!! It worked!!…  Maybe I should confess that It has happened to me (just once) that my suitcase exploited when it was in the conveyor belt at the airport…

The airport, The plane and the Human Behaviour

It is a fact that flying is not my favourite thing  … I don’t know why I don’t like it, It could be …maybe… because I am afraid of heights???? But I do it, I actually fly quite a lot! First of all because I live in an island (Ireland) so to go anywhere for holidays, visit family/friends, some job interviews over in London (the last one is quite rare….) I need to take a plane. But the most important reason why I am flying a lot lately is to go over to England to visit HIM (and there is no way my fear to fly will stop me!!)

Airports, normally I am on my own so I have time to walk around, see all the shops (and end up buying something even when I promised myself that I would never do it again!!) and sit around and stare at people. I have this useless talent to be able to stare at people for hours trying to figure them out. OK, I will explain what kind of “airport” person I am: trainers (even if they don’t match my clothes) comfortable clothes, a ponytail, jumpers (as I am always freezing on the planes) my books and chocolate. So I normally admire girls that prepare themselves to take a plane (like high heals, make up, sandals, sexy clothes….) because I can’t do that.

And after an hour flight, you land feeling all bloated, your hair is a mess and you struggle to collect all your little things on the plane (always a waste of space in your bag as you know that in a 50 minutes flight you won’t be able to read the book, the magazines, listen to music and do some crosswords) but you would take them with you anyway. And then you think: I haven’t seen HIM for 2 weeks!! So you run to the nearest toilet, and try to make sure you look your best!! I am not a make up person, but in those moments I regret it!! so you just refresh your face and go to meet HIM!

And then, when you see HIM, you drop all your stuff and run to kiss HIM!! A long perfect kiss, like in the movies …. But let’s be realistic: if you ever drop your bags two things could happen: someone steals them from you, or the security staff at the airport will make them explode (how many times can they say: please don’t leave your luggage unattended!!!??
