Hurray! We&#8217;re here.<br \/>\n2. It&#8217;s a long way to the gate from touchdown.<br \/>\n3. We must nearly be at the gate.<br \/>\n4. Hurray, we&#8217;re at the gate.<br \/>\n5. Why are people standing up so soon?<br \/>\n6. Erm, maybe I should stand up then.<br \/>\n7. Why does it take so long to open the doors?<br \/>\n8. This is Spain.\u00a0Ma\u00f1ana.<br \/>\n9. If I walk fast I can get to the car hire desks before everyone else.<br \/>\n10. Why is everyone turning on their phones already? Aren&#8217;t you on holiday?<br \/>\n11. Seriously, it&#8217;s not 1997, of course your phone works abroad.<br \/>\n12. Might just check in on Facebook.<br \/>\n13. Are we ever getting off this plane?<br \/>\n14. Great, we&#8217;re moving.<br \/>\n15. Ouch, you can always say sorry for hitting me with your case Mr.<br \/>\n16. Right, off the plane, I can still beat the queues at the car hire desks.<br \/>\n17. Those people look sunburnt. Must be nice weather.<br \/>\n18. Where did I put my passport?<br \/>\n19. What if I&#8217;ve left it on the plane?<br \/>\n20. Here it is in my bag. Phew.<br \/>\n21. Oh no, three other flights have arrived together, there&#8217;ll be a queue at Passport Control.<br \/>\n22. Like they ever really check the passports here.<br \/>\n23. Think I&#8217;ll just nip to the loo.<br \/>\n24. No, I need to get to the car hire desk quickly.<br \/>\n25. Waved through Passport Control, I knew they wouldn&#8217;t check it properly.<br \/>\n26. Actually I will go to the toilet after all.<br \/>\n27. This airport is so big but so empty. Why?<br \/>\n28. No baggage to collect, phew.<br \/>\n29. I&#8217;m sure the car hire desk was nearer than this.<br \/>\n30. Why is there never a queue for Sixt?<br \/>\n31. Next time I&#8217;ll use Sixt.<br \/>\n32. How long does it take to hire a car?<br \/>\n33. Stop arguing about the car, take the insurance, get on with it.<br \/>\n34. Why did it only take me five minutes to hire a car and twenty for the people in front?<br \/>\n35. Which exit is it?<br \/>\n36. Doesn&#8217;t matter they all go out of the building onto the same car park.<br \/>\n37. Gosh it&#8217;s warm.<br \/>\n38. No one stops at zebra crossings, please let me across!<br \/>\n39. Just need to find the car and we&#8217;re ready&#8230;<br \/>\n40. Now just to get used to being on this side of the road&#8230; nearly there.<\/p>\n ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>40 thoughts every regular visitor has upon arriving\u00a0their plane touching down at Palma airport. 1.
