we only dare to say 'please love me', at the seventh glass of wine...

Well I'm packed. Now to play WoW until about 4am when our taxi comes to take us to Leeds Bradford International* for our flight to Heathrow. not really looking forward to the 5 hours between arriving at Heathrow and getting on a virgin atlantic plane to Tokyo Narita airport.

I'm really developing the 'argh! I've forgotten something!' stomach at the moment. Got passport, got hotel details, got flight details, got train tickets, got travellers cheques, got pants. Annoyed I can't take my straighters as they don't have the right voltage. bah. Want to be sleek to go to Midnight Mess on the 22nd :) My suitcase/wheely-bag-thing feels quite empty - clearly this is a sign for me to buy tonnes of tat. ooo gotta find 4 more pairs of socks before I go - doh - not that that will fill it up. blee. nervous and excited.

*drinks a glass of wine*

hmm maybe 2 pairs of trousers and 3 skirts is not enough clothes for 12 nights? *panic* but hey I have 2 cameras - priorities chaps :)

I shall be back late on the 26th and am then off to Birmingham on the 28th for a couple of days - no doubt I shall be thoroughly sick of rice by then like I was last time. Wish me** luck!

* INTERNATIONAL??! YOU'RE NOT FOOLING ANYONE YOU KNOW!!

wheee. You can play WoW, I can revise for my french exam until the taxi comes to take me to the loony bin.

Why are you flying to london?

I meant why aren't you getting the train, lol.

Frankly you should be able to fly to anywhere from anywhere! Like a taxi, just get in and tell the pilot where you want to go. You could parachute into your own garden. Gosh is that the time.

because one looks for flights in one's own area - it gives you more scope - normally we'd have had to change somewhere in europe so we naturally looked for flights from manchester - the lba one was just a shock cos things that fly from leeds are normally way more expensive. it wouldn't have been much cheaper to go from heathrow without the change...
