Finally Up in the air to London!

March 24th, 2011

I am up, up, up in the air on Thomas Cook Airlines flying from Toronto to Gatwick in London. Ahhhhhh, I'm going to LONDON! Our flight departed at 5:30 p.m. from Toronto which was a nice change from my 6:30 a.m. flights the last previous two months!  The flight is 7 hours in length which means we will be arriving at 12:00 a.m. eastern standard time which in London it will be 5:00 a.m.! Ah!

I have always wanted to go to London you know. During my second year studying Hotel Management at Alpine Center in Athens, I wanted to transfer and study in England because the degree was connected with Bournemouth University. I applied through UCAS and was accepted into The University of Brighton and Surrey. I remember getting mail from the U.K and thinking it was so cool! I later decided to continue studying in Greece, which I am extremely glad I did because I had a wonderful third year of memories. ( Especially the summer of 2004 living in Greece with my room mate Daniela working at a bar and going to bed at 7:00 a.m. every night! Motorcycle rides on the back of hot Greek men. heyyyyyyyyy! Now that was a hot summer to remember. OPA! lol!)

I have seen movies like The Holiday & Bridget Jones Diaries which I just LOVED! The English countryside looks so pretty. A pretty backdrop for a magical LOVE STORY I'd say!

The last time I was in Europe was the summer of 2009. From the end of June until the beginning on October I was an Au-Pair for three months in Spain and also traveled to Greece for a quick week! That was an adventurous summer full of unexpected things happening like my crazy Au-Pair experience, Jeannie & Eleni coming for two weeks from Canada and traveling around and then unforgettable trip to Greece which went the exact opposite of what I intended. It ended up being lots of fun, but I would now call the experience an emotional roller coaster. Obviously man related. ....... But guys let's be positive, there is learning in everything! LOL yeah, learning my ass you think when you are in that situation! .... Long story...... Not even worth writing............

Even though I love Greece, I think if I lived in Europe, it  would have to be London! I think I'd be most comfortable in a country speaking English, that is big offering lots to do, yet at the gateway of Europe! Imagine having so many cheap flights at your footsteps? I'd lose it! I'd definitely take advantage of that, no questions asked! Ok, so they say the weather is crappy being gloomy and rainy. But I've always said I liked the rain and thought of it to be relaxing. Hmmmm....After awhile, how much gloom can you possibly take I guess? I say life is what you make it! There must be sunshine you can create in your day, like your own personal sunshine that makes you all warm! Well worst comes to worst, you can always hop on an airplane and fly to Greece in 3 hours! Now, that's not a bad idea at all! Oh beautiful Greece! I love you Greece!

I remember trying to get a job at The Savoy in London which is apart of Fairmont Hotels & Resorts last year as a Coach in their food & beverage department. Lots of resistance and it just wasn't happening. Maybe I wasn't suppose to go there because that would be living on a permanent vacation this year then! See how it all happens for a reason? You want something and it doesn't work out because the Universe has another plan for you! The Universe has your back in more ways than you know!

 It can be quite exhausting to tell you the truth in being a creative and coming up with ideas! Having a mind that produces and generates! I am a passionate person so when I think something is good, I really get excited about it! I think BIG, I think of all the POSSIBILITIES! I started coaching because I was living all of my travel dreams and wanted to inspire others to live out their dreams. How is it that so many of my dreams came true? Luck you say? Nah! It's not luck. It's an intention mixed with action! It's not an accident! The energy behind intentions is alive. It exists! ( Ok, I'm on the airplane in my seat and the man in front of me keeps pushing his chair back trying to recline further and further. Ok bud, it's gone as far back as it possibly can. LOL, What's your problem?!!!!!! lol) 

The Pilot said we're arriving a bit early and it is 6 degrees C. We are 37,000 feet above and it should be a smooth ride. SWEEEEEET! I'm going to pass out after we eat. I woke up at 5:30 a.m. on purpose so I could sleep on the ride and wake up a bit refreshed! Enjoy the ride!
