Flying Solo…

I did my first ever solo lengthy trip to Dubai and South Africa from London this year and honestly the concept of flying solo for seventeen hours was frightening.

It was a friend who decided to help me out with a soft toy of my favourite cartoon character Sponge Bob square pants…I know, I know!
However, I have no problem in admitting I am still a lover of all things animated…sorry not sorry.

The comical side was that the soft toy brought joy to so many children along the way and expressions of confusion to those my age or older. It was at the beginning of my journey from London to Dubai that I came across a young man who started talking to me about his journey and one thing lead to another and the conversation flowed. He then watched me pull the sponge bob soft toy from the tote bag and the look on his face…priceless. I could not contain my laughter and just placed my headphones in and that was that. I guess that can be my tip for how to get rid of a guy in one second flat… You’re welcome!

My sponge bob has now become my travel companion for life and I cannot imagine taking off without him #spongebobstravels
