Don't sweat the small things

As Christmas came and went so did my itchy feet where to Next? Maybe everyone is the same, but I love an adventure, I love the thrill of not knowing, riding along watching the world go by. 

Before I had Alessia, I was in London And I cherished every last minute of my busy tube rides and long six day weeks. Thinking this was the end, I was settled no more adventures so I drank it in and was not prepared to let a moment slip by without fully appreciating my independence. But what I didn't realize was that the adventure was only beginning. 

As myself and Alessia embarked on yet another trip I felt the familiar feeling in my stomach I get each time I reach the airport like a junkie getting my fix. 

Although sleep deprivation had taken the better of me and I had booked my flight with the wrong surname. With eight hours to my flight when I found out I scoured the internet to find out what could be done. After not taking my flight the week previous for a number of reasons It wasn't  going to happen again. I tried to book a new flight, but it wouldn't work so instead I took the two hours sleep that were left and thought, as always, it would work out. 

I always believe things will work out as they are meant to, with the right attitude.So with a positive attitude and too many bags we made our way to the Ryanair desk to plead our case. I was beyond shocked, there was little pleading to be done and they were changing my name there and then. No charge mentioned, then as luck would have it one of the girls behind the desk knew me, from Jo jingles a children's music group myself and Alessia attended. I couldn't believe it. We were off and not a penny to pay. With a spring in my step I went through security and I felt so lucky.

 As always Alessia had been the perfect travel Companion, a pleasure a distraction and great company. As I arrived in Rome and took the bus from the airport to termini station, I sat with Alessia in my arms. My heart melted and I felt a sense of completeness, my adventures were so much better now. 

I looked forward to teaching her all about the history of Italy, the art the architecture the food and culture. We had two hours to kill At the train station so we did what we girls love to do, try on clothes we were happy not to buy, we just enjoyed the fun of trying on different outfits. 

I had so much gratitude for all this precious time I had with Alessia. Life was good, I had even managed to teach my first yoga class and had many more to come.
