Waiting Game At The Airport

After almost a month without communication with my younger sister who studies and works in London at the same time, I finally got the chance to chat with her early this week. Although she is still suffering from homesickness, I am glad she is now more relaxed and settled. She had already adjusted herself to the climate and culture which was entirely strange to her approximately six months ago. Surely, time flies fast. It seems it was just yesterday when she told me how she felt the moment she stepped down from the plane and set her foot on London Heathrow Airport.




She and her twelve would-be classmates were all strangers to the place that time. They were all happy, excited, afraid and nervous all at the same time. Twice nervous, my sis said, since they have to undergo an interview with the immigration. They waited for 2-3 hours for the interview and luckily they all passed. My sister felt like she was dreaming then that she has to pinch herself twice to wake herself up. She just can’t believe she was already in London,one of the world's largest financial center. Anyway, they were all tired and drained from the interview that they are all ready to go home. They went outside to wait for the train that would take them to Luton and they were shocked at how cold the air was. Hours passed yet no train arrived so they have decided to take the coach. They were almost freezing by the time the coach arrived. It seems like they are on a waiting game at the airport. If only they have pre-booked a European airport transfer that would transport them from the airport to their flat, they wouldn’t have to endure the coldness which was entirely new to them. Good thing, they were all happy and light-headed by that time that they didn’t mind their tired and cold state.



If you don't like waiting games, the next time you plan your travels, be sure to pre-book your airport transfers from dependable companies like Shuttle Direct . Time is surely precious that is best spent on something we love to do rather than on waiting.
