Update on the packing situation - I could not be bothered packing my case and the thought ofall them summer clothes just lying on my wardrobe floor never to be worn againor at least until another holiday made me sad and I thought what a waste. I sawa need for those clothes and I decided to give everything I had away my girlsgave some things too. I kept my sparkly dress and undergarments the rest I gaveaway clothes shoes, accessories etc.
I am an all or nothing kinda gal so if I was to go home tono electric and gas or water on and my cable and internet was to be cut offthen I figured if I was to have nothing at all then I may aswell finish it offproperly and give all my clothes away too no point keeping just a bit of stuffholding on to things when everything else is falling apart around me so it wasall or nothing.Plus I was in need of some karma points !
Keep everything or give away everything. It was my lastlittle gesture to Jamaica we all made quite a few gestures this trip, justchose not to write about them all but I hope the clothes bring the wearer thefun and happiness that I had in them hopefully my happy vybe and spirit will continueto make the person happy.
My daughter gave away her prized possession her mobile phoneand even hubby gave some items away. My son usually leaves some toys but henever brought his little toys this trip.
The flight home which I had started off thinking this couldactually be a good chance to have a jetlag day ON THE PLANE LOL I was laughinginside thinking wait til I tell the boardies I ended up having my jetlag day onthe plane ride home, I had visions of me settling in comfy pillow and blanketmunching on some snacks and watching a few good movies, we usually take it inturns to sit with my son we usually dojust over 2 hours each as he likes entertaining and needs watching the wholeway he always wants to do something so I was surprised when they seated my 3children behind our seats and he settled in right away and was superbly behavedand just wanted to chill watch a movie and go to sleep=RESULT except I then gotsomeone elses 7 year old next to me who thought it would be great fun everytimeI closed my eyes to prod me , poke me , tap me awake or swing the remotecontrol into my leg or have an elbow wrestle over the arm rest space. This wasfunny for about 4 minutes I had another almost ten hours to go. Then he waiteduntil I just nodded off and put the spotlights in my face. THE ONLY SEAT ON THEWHOLE PLANE to have a spotlight on it was my seat typical just my luck my kidsare all behaving and I get stuck with dennis the freakin menace. I started toget mad he thought it was a disco spotlight in my face spotlight off on offkick tap, prod poke. I went and sat near the emergency exit where I hoped Iwould not fly out and tried to make myself invisible and small as you get introuble for blocking the exits so I stayed there for 15 minutes I neededbreathing space. My husband came to get me and said he had sorted the lightsituation out. It was a fairly uncomfortable flight back they forgot to order akids meal for my son so he was hungry eating snacks no meal then they forgot myhusbands breakfast and they only gave us 2 drinks which were just smallgulpsful , you know how much we paid for this flight?? get me a drink dammit!The games channels never worked and there was hard cold metal in between myfeet on the floor which made my sitting very uncomfortable so I was sittinglike I was in labour feet apart and my head on the pull down tray shoved facedown in to a pillow –when dennis the menace was not attacking me of course LOLso my planned jetlag flight did not happen. We got our trains I did not evennotice the climate change like we usually do it was odd. I really think therain mist and fog in Jamaica really helped me ease back in to the weather wedid not feel the cold until evening and usually we all have jetlag andtiredness for up to a week but nothing, nothing at all everyone went to bed asnormal and just fitted straight back into things no jetlag nothing. I do notknow how my body survived with such little sleep but I have slept loads allyear before I came so maybe I was using stored reserves!
