You know it's going to be long journey when...

1. Your flight is at 5.30am and you only finally dose off at 2.00am.
2. The pal who's supposed to pick you up calls to tell you that she's asked another pal to pick you up "just in case".
3. You've just checked in your big bag when the stone faced security man, on seeing the large toilet bag in your hand luggage, points at the picture of a Ziploc with what looks like 3 lip balms in it. Damn those liguid bombers!
4. Mr. Stone face informs you that the airline has singled you out for further screening. At this point you wonder if your roommate's chemical engineer boyfi touched your bag the day he helped you move after work.
5. As you wait at the departure gate an acquaintance who's also on tua sits next to you with a big grin on his face. He proceeds to grill you on the activities of all the miros (Africans) in Southern California.
6. You get snappy and then realize that the elderly woman sitting next to him is his mother visiting from Zamunda.
7. She tells you she went to school with your mum. You believe her. Your mum went to school with everybody's mother.
8. You have settled in your seat and become comfy when the madam sitting next to you shows up. She smells like she has incense burning in her pocket.
9. You realize that the couple behind you are well on their way to creating a monster. The unabated kicking and screaming of their descendant is enough proof.
10. You remember that you forgot your motion sickness pills just as the turbulence hits. Miss smelly lady next to you offers you the tissue she just took out of her pocket.
11. You finally drift off to sleep, waking only in time to realize you missed the snack trolley. Miss smelly lady offers you her homemade sandwich.
12. After landing, you switch your cell phone back on and stare blankly as it dies.
13. You have no quarters.
14. Your bag is not at the baggage claim.
15. After 20 minutes you realize you are operating under "just in case". Your pal is MIA and you have no idea what your pal's pal looks like or what car they drive.
16. You can't find that miro chap and his mother.
17. Tears start welling in your eyes.
