Fasten your seat belts and grab a towel

My first blog from mid-air, as I have about 45 minutes till we land in Amsterdam and my holidays are truly over. The gang escorted me to the airport this morning and it was weird to have the house clean the fuses switched of and say goodbye for a few months. Depending on a few factors I will be returning hopefully soon. As I had to spend a few hours in Paris I went online to check the news and I noticed that's we will have snow and cold from Monday, so my wish to skip it this year has already been crushed. It would have made for and unusual but nice start to the year without the winter crap. If only for once. But I think nature also needs it's, so let it happen and we will see if it's going to be just cold or also covered with many layers of snow.

Paris Charles de Gaulle airport was up to a boiling point, outside 13 degrees but inside almost 26, while the sun was heating the terminal the heating system were blasting out warm air too........ What a nightmare, or I just have to plan the next time to travel even lighter, no actually need not to cover up, we are almost always indoors from start to finish....
So I hope I can remember this on my next flight out which will hopefully be in summer anyway.

Like always the weeks have passed to quickly, and it has been over 3 weeks. Tomorrow is an early morning and off to work I am, I can only hope I manage a first full day. Not spending t on the office all day as there are a few people to see and wish them all the best for this year. 
Let's hope they return the favor, I could certainly use some luck, and less bills...... But who doesn't let's be honest we all could have a year like that.
And now they are also heating up the aircraft, the French do heat winter, man this isn't normal. But another 35 minutes and we should be descending into Amsterdam, where my next ride awaits, happy with a brother who takes the effort to pick me up. Jippie a cold drink just arrived..... Going to put out this fire that seems to burn inside...
Not so much looking forward to the drive home, and hoping my car will start after all these weeks of no attention. Another adventure on the way...... It seems I take every opportunity not to make my life boring, well someone or somewhat has too.....  Ohh and I was lucky on the first leg of the trip, I was asked to sit in the business class, not such a bad thing to happen on a 2 hour flight.

Hardly any clouds so I can see Europe glide by underneath the plane..... The twinkly lights almost thinking it's Christmas again.... Ha ha..... Seems iam still in a somewhat festive mood, that will be killed roughly tomorrow when the alarm tells me it's time to get a move on, a early morning drive back to work.. But for now is still on a holiday so let that worry me tomorrow and in the end, it's only a working day, of which not many are left..... To be honest. Less than I would hope for and in a way more than I could actually care for. I notice the landing lights are still on, or have they switched on already? Ahhh there we go, we are heading down again, back the the surface of Mother Earth...... And for the first time since a long long period there is only a male staff on board, it's almost unbelievable. And thank god the air is getting colder..... Yup we are approaching the airport, time to switch off and I will post it back on the ground..... My first travel report so to say.... Until next time from the old but comfortable home...... Au revoir!
