Bury My Heart at Terminal 4

[peteryoung]

All evidence would suggest I'm properly back at work at last, but there's a rather unreal dream-like quality to it all. Since March there were many times that I doubted I'd be getting on a 747 ever again, so actually stepping onto that plane on Friday evening felt like a major personal victory.

But instead of being given a quick nightstop to ease me back into things I find myself on a week-long marathon to the other side of the planet, during which time I get several days here in Bangkok but only a single night in Sydney on Tuesday (hopefully meeting up with zarabee and friends). The knee still feels a little fragile at times but it's holding out fine so far. In part I'm settling back into the same old routine but taking it easy, another part is going through a feeling that I can best describe as gratitude that I'm actually out in the world again.

Yikes! Sounds a rough beginning ... I hope the knee does well. *knocks wood* Welcome back to the skies!

Thank you. :)

Glad to hear you're up and about again. Say hi to Zara for me ...

...but your liver at terminal 5?

Great news - hope the knee doesn't let you down.

Hoping they haven't made it too difficult for you, but delighted that you're back in business.

May you have quiet cabins full of tired business travellers who want to sleep the whole flight!

3 out of the 4 sectors are overnight so this should be a quietish trip. If only more First Class punters would avail themselves of the pre-flight dining...

I wanted to do that at JFK, but I'd only had lunch a few hours before and simply wasn't ready for supper at 5pm.

Shame really, I could have done with more sleep.

Yay! Hope all goes well and you're not too tired at the end of it!
