A successful start to a positive journey, We managed to get to the airport early, with enough time spare to say final goodbyes to ma and pa.. No tears were shed as we walked though security, strange as it is usual for family to be upset when their first born leaves for pastures new, i came to the conclusion they were pleased he was leaving. We departed terminal 3, Heathrow airport on time and now I'm writing to you from the comfort of an economy seat on an emirates plane.. After enjoying a chicken dish and leaving the suspect black current cheesecake, we watched mr poppers penguins a film starring jim carrey and a group of naughty penguins.. As we sat back, sipping Heineken I came to the conclusion that life as a travel pig may not be too shabby
