All went well with my trip to Belgium in early January. Despite my worries. And despite heavy snow the night before I was travelling back to Dublin, and also on the morning I was flying home. Somehow, Brussels continues to function, despite snow. Still, I was a bit of a nervous wreck. I'm not scared of flying at all. But I get anxious when I travel, I worry about delays and cancellations. I did deep breathing and some yoga stretches to still my beating heart, but it's just one of those things that I have to live with. I have discovered that if I use Fasttrack and book the lounge, I am able to stress a little bit less. The lounge in Dublin is €29. Well worth it from my point of view. Plus I get to eat lots and even take a sandwich to eat on the plane!
If I'm travelling for a holiday, I'm still anxious, but I get into my sketching and it's all good fun. Travelling to Belgium isn't a holiday and I struggle with sketching on those trips. Still, I managed to do a little bit. Mostly from observation, some from photos, and also some scribbles and swatches.
