Fly or Buy

It's the besties Hens night in Auckland on Saturday night and as soon as I knew about it I was straight online to book flights to get me amongst it. Unfortunately even weeks ago airfares were on the stupid side of not right. I refuse to pay $299 to get to Auckland when I could get to bloody Australia for less than that. So figured I would pull a 'Wilson' special and bowl on in to the airport early and grab a standby fare. The husband does it all the time with no drama and its only $69. Why oh why universe am I still sitting here 5 hrs later. Such Murphy's Law the one time I decide to throw caution to the wind, live for the now, spur of the moment and all that...every other person on the planet is traveling to Auckland from Christchurch as well *sigh. Don't they know I've got some serious Girly shit to attend too, which may or may not include shoe shopping, booze and plenty of quality blah blah! What to do when faced with 5 hours of waiting at an airport. Well I had a double cheeseburger combo for breakfast so I can't go back to Burger King without a disguise or at least until the staff change shifts. The husband has forbidden me to go into that gorgeous shop downstairs called toi toi but maybe that's a good thing cause the lady behind the counter was starting to look at me suspiciously due to how long I spent salivating over the jewellery and bags just before. It's a funny thing, at home I could easily spend 5 hours reading if my pesky family didn't keep interrupting me for food and other ridiculous attention seeking ploys, but now that I actually could sit and get stuck into a few chapters I'm just not that into it. The husband has also made matters worse by telling me that I should get a bus from the airport to the besties workplace as it would be cheaper than the shuttle/limo I had envisioned. God I can see that ending in tears. I sux at directions and buses, i don't cope with strangers and personal space and I never know which bus to get on and which stop to get off...Fark ill probably end up in Whangarei. But back to life at the airport.. I have secured a spot beside a wall with a plug so i can keep my phone on full battery which has enabled me to facecrack to my hearts content and to catch up on the last couple of weeks of 'Ellen' on YouTube.
Perhaps if I go buy a hat from the tourist shop, I can go get another burger?!
