Departure day at last. I think everything is packed, including the fur-lined jacket. It's good to be finally at this point, 10 months later than planned. It's hard to imagine that I should have done this trip last November, and that in 2 weeks it will be a year since I had my pulmonary embolus. That one little event had such a major impact on my life over the past 12 months, but thankfully (with the aid of medication before long flights) it hasn't stopped me travelling. I'm going to ask for an upgrade to business class today when I check in - I'll give them a sob story about needing the extra leg room, but I'm not sure if I should start crying or not; that may be counter productive.

You're never going to be upgraded. Stop being a snob.

I'm not a snob - but having experienced business class already, I NEED to try to get in FRONT of that curtain!
