Gate 4, Bagels and the Flight Ahead
Zero sleep. Early morning Grab. Heart racing, bags packed and spirit wide awake.
The ride to the airport was… thrilling. The driver was fast, yet safe and his stories made the ride unforgettable.
He spoke of his wife - that she was a rare gem, “one in a million.” Listening to his admiration and joy warmed my heart in a way that made the early wake-up worth it. May they be happy, truly. ❤️
Check-in went smoothly. 30kg of baggage, all accounted for and handled by the MAS staff who was polite and calm; a little reassurance before stepping into the unknown.
And here I am now: right in front of Gate 4, munching on a Dunkin’ bagel with double cheese, taking in the energy of the airport and waiting for boarding. I tried the lounge, but it was packed, so no early pre-flight “cheers” today 😇😂.
Excitement, nerves and anticipation swirl together in this quiet pre-flight moment. My body is stiff, my eyes heavy and my mind buzzing, but my heart is ready.
Hopefully, the plane ride will gift me a few winks of sleep and by the time I open my eyes again, I’ll be touching down in Nepal; ready for the cold, the streets, the mountains, and the first steps of silence.
Here begins the adventure!
