I got absolutely fucking destroyed in Melbourne before my flight home, got to the airport, checked in, got to the gate and woke up an hour after the flight had taken off.
8 hours and an £800 new ticket later, now on a massive comedown, they wouldn't let me check in because I was so fucked up I couldn't hold my ticket and passport. They insisted I go to the doctor in the airport.
Instead, I went and had some soup, came back and told them the doctor thought I had a bit of a bug. They let me on, and had a 22 hr packed, sleepless flight back to Ldn with comedown psychosis.
Got home, 2 hrs sleep, then a flight to Edinburgh to do a full day presenting to clients. Most painful couple of days ever.
Deciding to fly to Melbourne for a 3-day weekend was not a smart move to begin with.
