Spontaneous is the word...

While having dinner on Monday night at Bills, I was still undecided what I wanted to do with my time off. I kept asking people for ideas... All I knew was that I was going to see off a close friend at Heathrow Airport on Tuesday evening and as much as I wanted to accompany him across Asia, I had to be practical about how far I was going to travel for one week.
My friends made few suggestions however they were all skeptical that I would never book a holiday overnight or in such short notice. Well for some reason people never believe me when I say I will do something. I was adamant to leave London that Tuesday from Heathrow! I had a few criteria for my holiday, the place needed to be warm, the flight must leave from Heathrow and the flight must depart after 6pm. I jumped on sky scanner after dinner at 11.30pm that Monday evening and searched London Heathrow to "anywhere"...well my holiday destination was: Athens, Greece!!! I always wanted to visit Greece and I knew I had to start somewhere, so without hesitation I booked flights and accommodation within 24 hours of departure! A completely spontaneous holiday, I found myself checking in at 8.30pm on Tuesday. After an emotional farewell, I did a quick one hour research on things to do in Athens at the airport and I was ready to explore!!
