10 Fun Facts About My Trip To WWE WrestleMania 21
10. Always Set Your Alarm Multiple Times
My Mums house was only a twenty minute car journey from Glasgow Airport, so my buddy Kenneth (yeah we have the same name) and I stayed there ready to leave at 4:30am to be checked in for 5am for our 6am flight to London, where we would then board a long haul flight to Los Angeles. Of course I couldnt doze off until about 1am, thinking its fine and Id wake up at 4 and have a half hour to get ready - nothing could go wrong.
BEEP BEEP BEEP. I woke up and heard my alarm and saw the time was 4:48am. Ive never jumped out of bed so fast. We had to be checked in by 5:30am and this WrestleMania weekend and LA holiday was gonna be a once in a lifetime kind of thing, so I couldnt miss it.
As all Mums do, mine decided that would be the best time to point out that I need to learn to be more punctual. Kenneth decided hed have a quick five minute shower while I paced around the living room thinking about that if we missed our flight wed have to go out the next day and my friend in LA picking us up would be p***ed that hed taken the day off work to help us and wed stupidly missed our flight.
We finally drove to the airport and ran with our cases to check in. The time was 5:28am. Two minutes to spare. Thank f*** for that.
