It’s 05.30 and i’m waiting to board my flight to Yangon. Excited? Yes. Anxious? A little. But strong coffee seems to be helping.
I have treated myself to lounge access – perhaps the last little luxury I will enjoy for a while. Actually, I am quite enjoying this back to basics lark – you strip away all the clutter and quickly realise what you need and what is non-essential. And having to carry everything on your back certainly focuses the mind. I have also established a packing/unpacking routine. It’s quite a luxury that I have nothing more important to occupy my thoughts. Or maybe this is how OCD starts….
The flight leaves in exactly an hour. Time plenty for me to feed my caffeine addiction.
