I always find departures a very exciting place to be in an airport. I suppose it is because I am either going away on holiday, which is of course very exciting, but could mean that I am returning home. I love coming home from holidays. It sounds silly but going away is always fun and I need a break each year to wind down from work etc, however, it is always nice to return. I love a lot of things about my house, family, the town that I live and my job and I take them for granted a lot. When I go away, I enjoy myself and like being in a new place but it is lovely to return to my familiar surroundings again.

Last time I went away, I even returned early and the departure lounge at that foreign airport was the best place ever! It was not the nicest accommodation and the weather was rainy and my hire car kept breaking down. I did not enjoy it at all and so decided that I would see if I could change my flight and get home. It was such a relief to be able to do that and to get home and relax in my house, call up my friends and family for a chat, order a take away and we even had better weather than the holiday resort. It has actually made me wonder whether I would be better off taking my holidays at home form now on, it would certainly save me a lot of money.
