Bon Jovi can be so wise....

[cue awesomely over the top eighties cover band/karaoke music]
...'OOOHHHH WE'RE HALFWAY THERE!!!! OO--OOO--OOH LIVIN' ON A PRAYER'

That pretty much sums up how I'm feeling this moment. Standing at an internet terminal in the Abu Dhabi International Airport on a six hour layover between a fourteen hour flight from Australia and an eight hour leg to London with 2 hours of sleep over the past 34 hours. Oh, and might I mention the kind airport staff are apparently preparing us for the climate change from Australia to the UK by freezing our tushies off in this refrigerator of an airport whilst we engage in this torturous travel limbo. Ain't world trotting glamorous? Thankfully only two more hours of the waiting game until we board our final flight. With the anticipation of finally meeting Chris' wonderful family on the not too far horizon, I think I just might make it. Just don't be surprised if you read a story in the international news section about a crazy Texan backpacker kicking in the air conditioning unit of Abu Dhabi International resulting in temporary loss of power (both mine and the airport's) and general panic. See you on the other side.....
