The longest flight of my life! LHR-LAX 11.5 hours

This was the longest flight I have ever taken. It wasn't as bad as I was imagining but I can't say I want to make it a regular occurrence. I flew from London Heathrow to Los Angeles International on a day time flight leaving at 3.30pm UK time and because of the time difference got to LA by 7pm!

When I got onto the flight I had already been sat at the airport for around 4 hours so was really hoping for some good entertainment and comfortable seats. I was in luck for 1 of those at least; the seat needed some more padding.

The first couple of hours went by quite quickly. I watched Annabelle: The Creation. Don't worry I did look around for any children that could have a view of my screen and there wasn't any so I went ahead. That film was alright. I mean the parts I saw were alright I took quite a nice little nap in the middle. I wouldn't call it scary though. Next was Wonderwoman. That was an awesome film; I can't wait to see more. Throughout the flight I also saw the first 4 episodes of Pitch (I've been meaning to see it for ages but haven't had the time) and then Baywatch, another I had been meaning to watch and was definitely as good as I was expecting. Who doesn't love a bit of Zac Efron. He is definitely aging well.

Lunch was a choice between a chicken curry with rice and green beans or beef stew and if you know me you'll know that I definitely skipped the stew! Pudding was salted caramel ice cream but the caramel was a little too solid. Would've been better a bit softer as all it did was get stuck in my teeth.

I had chosen an aisle seat when I booked the flight mainly because I'd rather have to move for the people next to me than make those people move so I can get out. The guys seemed nice but they hardly said anything. And plus the guy in the window decided to go to the loo while the middle guy did so we all only had to get up the once.

After another nap with some music by Thomas Rhett in the background and then after an hour of just wishing it would end, it was over. I had survived the longest flight of my life. Even better than some of the other incredibly short flights compared to that one! I'm sure you'll hear more about that at a later date.


Toodles for now.

Birthday Weekend!

Tomorrow is my 22nd birthday. I don't feel particularly excited about it but I did treat myself to a weekend away. I am off to London for the weekend to stay with my aunt and to go to the second NFL game to play at London's Wembley Stadium this year.

I am a big lover of the NFL with my team being the Seattle Seahawks. Which FYI I am seeing them on my big trip around North America in November but you'll hear more about that at a later date. The game this weekend is between the New Orleans Saints and the Miami Dolphins. Someone I work with supports the Dolphins so on purpose I got a Saints Jersey to wear but I honestly don't mind who wins since it's not the Seahawks, I am just hoping for a good game. Anyone else an NFL supporter? I'd love to hear from you.

Luckily for me London is only a couple hours away on the train so it won't be a long journey, I'll probably just listen to music or read a book to pass the time. Maybe I'll have a nap!

Just a quick one but I hope you have a good weekend yourself.

Toodles.
