Day One- Travelling and Arrival in Bangladesh.
After a sleepless night, I rose early at 5.00 a.m. to make my final preparations for my visit to Bangladesh. My car arrived at 7.00 a.m. and we made a two hour journey to Heathrow, I was to meet the group at 10.00 a.m. at Terminal 3. Only one problem, I had only met the group once for forty five minutes in July!
After standing around for a moment, I saw that a group of people were congregating and greeting each other, after plucking up the courage, I went across and introduced myself. I was slightly worried about the check in, I was convinced that my baggage was overweight; I was later to find that it was, we would be changing at Dubai, the airport has strict conditions on the size and weight of baggage that people can handle. After checking in we then headed through the usually security checks, to my surprise I didn’t set off one alarm. I also had a random shoe check. I spent time in departures with an art teacher called Kathy; it was nice to speak to someone who was as scared and excited as me.
