I am so tired…

You must excuse the state that this entry is in… and you must also excuse where I am posting it from. I know that I said I would write the final post from the hotel, but some stupid little chinky boy got in my way and the blogger wasn’t working… so you’re getting an entry from the good ol’ comfort of Mama Cass and the room of much mess (I just unpacked… kindof)…

Well… Monday was a very interresting day to say the least. I got up quite early… and my head was spinning. I could hardly breathe coz my sinuses had gone awol (one of my lovely friends when it comes to travelling) and I just felt pooey. Wnt for a shower in the room of marble (*snigger*) and checked out of the hotel… leaving my bags and other things in the reception so that I didn’t have to lug them around with me all over the place.

I took the majority of the travellers cheques left and cashed them in the downtown HSBC that stands accross the road from the old World Trade Centre… and then started my day off with a little walk around town. I generally darted all over the place… icluding Central Park (where I was cruised by some freaky little American boy in The Rambles)… Central Park again… where I saw The Turtle Pond, Belvedere Castle, The Great Lawn and a few other little buildings that pop up throughout the park itself.

I also managed to do the world famous 5th avenue shops (including the shop I saw on the subway which name I cannot remember now).
I also walked along the west side… and then did a little bit more of the midtown and got a jacket from one of the shops that is just along the road from the Empire State Building. Hopped onto a subway train and visited that fabulous music shop next to the Radio City Music Hall.
After that I came back to the hotel, got my stuff… fought with Blogger, then caught a taxi to the Airport…

THEN THE FUN BEGINS!!!!

I checked in and all was well… just this time… on the Boeing 777 that was taking me BACK to Europe… the scren on my entertainment system was boogered…. as opposed to the controller being stuck in the arm and TOTALLY unmovable. So I landed up sleeping the majority of the way back (Thanks to Tylenol Ache Reliever — and sleep inducer!!!)

The meal was AWFUL!!!! *puke *spit* *splutter*

Go into Paris CDG and made my way to Hall F after waiting for about an hour for them to post which gate I had to go to.

ON THE PLANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! all was fabulous until the plane started its decent…

We were decending quite rapidly… and through some VERY thick clouds that hung rather low in the sky… as we were going down… the sky around the engines looked as if it was going red… so I started to panic. Then… looking into the cabin… there was smoke all around us!!!! The plane WAS ON FIRE!!!
We landed… (after me thinking to myself… ‘Oh well… it was a nice holiday… I had a good time… now I have to die!’) and had an emergency stop on the runway where the fire department surrounded us and nearly swarmed the plane. People were really starting to panic… but my hat goes off to the air steward who kept everyone calm.
It turned out the air-conditioner packed up and the filters has probably metled out… FABULOUS!!! As for the red skies… well… the ground around the airport is particularly red… so it was just the ground shining through the clouds…

So…
That was the end of my holiday… my first holiday on my own…

Refer to my second posting for the day to get my conclution thingumy!!!

Moondrops and sunshine…
