Well my adventure to Shanghai is underway! I'm really excited (as always when it comes to travel), but I'm also bricking it. China on my own is pretty scary!
But nevermind, it's a place I've wanted to go to for a long time so it's not as though anyone is forcing me to go there.
My trip is off to a mixed start. I managed to get an exit row seat, but unfortunately it's by the window so a lot of the legroom is taken up by the door. I could change it at the airport, but only for a regular aisle seat. I thought 'sod it' I'll give it a go! Thankfully for my flight from Singapore to Shanghai I'll be sat (or hopefully sleeping) in a nice exit row aisle seat.
After a bite to eat in Pret a Manger and cheeky beer with Cliff, I cleared security pretty quickly. I got water from Boots and then said 'goodbye' to the riff raff and headed straight for the Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse lounge. I've now had a couple of glasses of Champagne and some sushi and I'm feeling pretty mellow as I get ready for 12+ hours sat in an aluminium tube at 36,000 feet.
The Clubhouse is much busier than the last time I visited it. It is later, but I think the main reason is that the flight to Mumbai has been delayed for 'technical reasons'.
Time to grab a load of water and make the trek to the gate........
Oh and before I forget, I'm also pretty excited that I could become an Uncle for the second time when I'm away!
