LOL people-watching at airports is the funniest thing ever. People are just so stupid and just follow other stupid people like little flocks of sheep. Honestly, I’m sitting at my gate watching people from the flight before getting off, and some genius decides to turn left towards other gates instead of right to “exit and baggage claim,” and so all the other people coming off the plane keep turning left with confused looks on their faces. A couple of smart people read the sign and turn right, but then the stupid people are all, wow, “those people are stupid, can’t they follow a crowd?” and then turn left. Bahaha it’s entertaining. Slash the male flight attendant at the door is amazingly flamboyant and makes me really happy. Like he keeps tugging at the back of his blazer and pacing about with his head in the air… oh it’s amazing. Slash his waist is smaller than mine, and it’s bothering me slightly. Perhaps it’s because his shoulders are so broad. Unless he is wearing shoulder pads. FML that would be amazing.
Anyways, so just updating my way to Melbourne airport. Nothing super exciting. Just cab to bus station and bus to airport. But for those of you who ever fly domestic out of Melbourne, I will just give you heads up so that you aren’t waiting at a gate forever… When the guy at the reception of my hostel told me I could take a 5am bus to the airport (get there at 530am) for my 630am flight, I thought he was crazy. Like cutting it waaaaaaay too close, esp. with security and whatnot? Slash ahhahah the gay flight attendant just waved good-bye to someone. Oh. OMG. He is dating other gay flight attendant. SUCCESS. Hahaha that makes me happy. They just waved good-bye to the other crew. Amazing. Like a wave with your fingers. Haha. Epic. Anyways, so yes. I didn’t listen to the guy and took the 430am bus, which got me here for 5am. And I get to the counters and there is a sign that says, check-in closes 30 mins prior to flight departure!!! Dude. Like international flights, the GATE closes 30 mins prior to flight departure. And it takes (with all the walking and going through security) approximately 10 minutes from leaving off your checked baggage to get to the gate. Which closes like 5 mins before departure. Because boarding is 15 mins before departure. So, future reference if you ever fly through here, take your time, and get to the airport just one hour prior to your flight’s departure time. Success. And that is travel tip for the day.
Ooh also, I want to mention the fun souvenirs I bought from Victoria Market yesterday!!! I am SUCH a tourist. Successful purchase of aboriginal art, a digeridoo (however you spell that, slash also a mini one because they are HUGE), aaaaaaaaaaaand BOOMERANGS!!!! WHATTUP! Haha I AM that cool.
So, sorry for the lame blog post. I just needed to occupy my time. I guess you can say that I used you haha. But yes, I promise more entertaining/ exciting blog post from Adelaide and Kangaroo Island!!!
