6. Airport sleep overs and night buses will also happen. Sometimes you’ll love it and its a big adventure. Other times you just want a nice dark and quite place to rest.
7. Or you may not sleep at all…
8. Sometimes you’ll have no clue what Gate you are supposed to be at but its ok there are at least 30 other people you can follow who also do not know where they are going.
9. You will meet some pretty cool and interesting people on you way to your next destination. Enjoy them, talk with them.
10. Bring toilet paper with you, cause you never know…
11. Security will be interesting… you think you got it down and then they go and change things on you. “Mama keep your shoes on, take you laptop out, etc…”
12. You’ll have that heart sink moment when you think you forgot your passport, then that breath of relief when you find it right where you put it in your day pack
13. Always expect the unexpected… so don’t just expect anything.
14. Airplane food isn’t too bad when your hungry and it’s free (oh but then there’s air Asia.)
15. Wearing comfortable clothes is a must.
16. People will stare, just smile and wave.
