Introduction
Hello, diary my name is Mummi. I am from Egypt. Some people call me Prince of the Nile and I might even be the 8th Wonder of the World. Well enough about me more about my family. My Dad, Joss, adopted me at the Manchester Children's Book Festival. There are also my two uncles, Ned and Isaac, my only auntie Shakira and my two favourite Grandparents, Ian and Jani not to mention Bonnie and Super (the mischievous Sea Monkeys).

The Journey Begins
Today we have taken a taxi to Manchester Airport. I was so thrilled and excited and so was all my family especially my Dad who has a deep regard for Thailand.
As soon as we got there we had to check in and then to get through security, we had to get in a long queue.
Finally we made it past security and into a big area full of restaurants and shops. We had to have some breakfast before we boarded so we went to a favoured family restaurant, The Giraffe, and I came to understand why as the food was so scrumptious. After we had filled ourselves full of food we ran quickly to our gate where we showed our boarding passes and then we were off.
On the plane Dad and I had a little nap and then set about reading. My Dad read me a book from a series called Wereworld the author is Curtis Jobling. The book we were reading is called The Shadow of the Hawk. We enjoyed reading a few chapters of it. This plane only took 2hours as our destination was Finland. Once we arrived and got off the plane it was about 3:00 in the afternoon. Our plane was set to leave at 5:10 and take least 10:00 hours.
Whilst we were waiting we had some lunch which consisted of two bowls of soup, a few packets of crisps, a baguette and a few drinks which came to a whopping £60 pounds which Dad and I thought was ludicrous. Therefore we weren’t happy! After this it was time to rush to the gate and just about managed to board the plane in the nick of time.
On board the plane we saw how the buildings and houses of Finland grew smaller and smaller until they were just minuscule blots on the horizon as we soared through the air. While the plane seemingly made painful progress Dad and I watched a few movies. Our favourite though was Mr Peabody and Sherman which I personally thought was hilarious. It was about a Dog called Mr Peabody and he adopts a boy called Sherman. For his birthday Mr Peabody creates a time machine called The Way Back. We also watched The Lego Movie where a boy uses his imagination to the fullest and creates a whole Lego world of his own. We also watched a few cartoons.
When we were served dinner, Dad and I couldn’t eat it all as it was disgusting! Afterwards, Dad and I watched a few more movies and then we had a nap, one which was desperately needed as when we woke up we found that we were landing.
