once upon a time I totally underestimated how long it was going to take me to get from downtown London to Gatwick using the tube..... (it was really really early in the AM) .....and then the security lines were freaking longggg plus my gate was at the opposite end of the airport.

it took me the whole 2 hours the flight lasted (it was from LGW to GIB) to settle down after the mini-marathon .....
