Pre-flight Nerves

Right then, about 24 hours from now I will start my journey to homeland. Yes only 24 hours to go!!! Yayyyy! (if the flight isnt delayed ofcourse).

I grew up in the Middle East and we used to travel to Pakistan at least once a year. The frequency increased when I was able to travel on my own and even when I moved to Karachi, with my parents in UAE, the visits were frequent. Add to this some domestic flights as well. But each and every time I am just unable to do anything the day before travel! The nights are sleepless too. Its not that I am scared, but I dont know what it is either.

As soon as I get inside the plane, all these feeling disappear and life goes on normal, apart from the pain that may be experienced by pressure changes.

And almost always while leaving the house I have this feeling that I am forgetting something. Lets see if things change around this time.
