U1+U3+79...I am 35 today :)

U-Bahn line 1 plus U-bahn line 3 plus Bus 79....this was how i got to the airport today. It was around 1hr of travel time thanks to the S-bahn strike in Stuttgart.

I arrived at 8:10 am in the airport. As i was getting ready to locate my passport inside my bag, my heart raced since i cant seem to find it at the location where i knew i last placed it. I immediately went into panic mode. I went to look for a seat and started to take things out from the main compartment of my backpack one at a time (yeah like dirty clothes and stuff). While i was doing it, I thought of going back to the hotel because i might have left it in my room. And i calculated the time of going back there
and back to the airport. It would have taken me two hours and by the time i return to the airport, my plane would have surely started boarding or worse, have already left me. I had less interest in checking the laptop compartment since i knew i did not place it there. But since i couldnt find it anywhere in the main compartment, I decided to have a look at the back of my laptop, and voila! The passport slipped into the laptop compartment while i was in transit. I felt my whole body warmed up with the realization. I just smiled at the sight of my passport and said to myself "Stupid you!"

I was seated in the very front row of the very tiny plane of FlyBe going back to the UK. It was my first time to be seated in the very front row :)

And yeah today marks the moment when i have gone beyond the halfway point in my passport. Happy birthday to me!
