My holidays are about to start and I’ll live tweet it on my blog, right here!

• 01:30: bedtime
• 01:00: bedtime… Or another whisky?
• 23:00: whisky!
• 21:45: hey mom!
• 21:37: wait, there is my luggage.
• 21:35: luggage will take another 15 minutes before they arrive. I’ll text my mom that she shouldn’t wait.
• 21:18: what, a gate with stairs? What is this? The 1950’s?
• 21:17: hey, civilization… We are finished taxiing?
• 21:16: Frodo is about to throw the ring in the fire
• 21:15: still taxiing
• 21:13: no, more taxiing
• 21:12: hey, we stop
• 21:10: still taxiing
• 21:05: still taxiing
• 21:01: let’s start watching Lord of the Rings
• 21:00: landing on the Polderbaan at Schiphol Airport. The complaints about that deserve a separate blog post.
• 18:55: boarding the plane – we’re early
• 18:50: oops, that’s my iPad flying through the air. Still in one piece though.
• 18:35: another example: I can’t see at which gate I’m sitting now, or what the destination is. (The big blue plane makes it quite clear though)
• 18:30: the signs on Zurich airport are badly placed: for a lot of people it is not obvious which way they have to go. You can easily distinguish frequent travelers from the people new at the airport: they directly know where to go.
• 18:15: did my good deed for the day: alerted a guy that he dropped his credit card
• 17:50: the airport is remarkably quiet
• 17:35: eating a bit (not the chocolate though)
• 17:15: the chocolate is not considered to be a security risk.
• 16:30: on my way to the airport
• 16:15: my backpack contains 1/3 clothes, 1/3 chocolate and 1/3 camera.
• 15:30: not really the time to start something new, right?
• 7:09: Searching for my glasses. Slapstick!
• 7:08: Packing my stuff. I have one checked bag with clothes and one bag full of chocolates.
