Anyway after visa problems and delays, Tuesday 22nd September 2015 was THE day that Emily Murray flew out to Thailand.
Mum, dad, Anna and I left the house at the ungodly hour of 6am to drive to Heathrow airport, we met a few delays on the way but got to the airport in good time. There we met the other PT volunteers who were also raring to go. I don't think I've ever been this excited in my whole life!!
Leaving my family was pretty emotional, but thankfully I actually managed to hold back tears (first time for everything) as I walked through security.
The first flight (London-Mumbai) was sooooo long it took 9 hours which I managed to fill by watching 3 films and eating 2 delicious (but rather spicy) meals.
After a very brief 30 minute stop off in Mumbai, which we spent most of actually looking for our next terminal, we were hoarded on to the next plane to Bangkok - on which we got more spicy food!
We arrived in Bangkok at about 7am local time, had to pass through visa control (which was super terrifying - we had to have our picture taken and everything!) and pick up our bags (which weigh a tonne). After this we set off to find our in-country representatives who were meant to be meeting us at Black Canyon coffee.
After what seemed like hours of going up and down esculators which heavy trolleys full of luggage we finally found our reps downstairs - apparently Black Canyon Coffee had been closed and no longer existed in the airport!
Eventually we found our reps and made our way down to the minibuses which would take us to our hotel.
