i'm leaving for the airport in a few hours. i'm on a one-way flight from Charlotte, leaving 7:40pm EST and arriving 8:30am London time. i've never been to another continent before. i don't know what to expect. i watched Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy to give me some traveling-related confidence, as well as to ease into hearing the "received pronunciation." i guess it worked. *gulp*
i've loaded up a small luggage bag, a book bag and a messenger bag full of stuff that will cover 10 days of vacationing around the U.K. (and France) followed by 4 weeks of study / who-knows-what in London. i had to sacrifice my running shoes for space to put an extra bag for all the stuff i'm likely to buy over there. who knows if they have gyms in London anyway. i packed my Jack Bauer for President t-shirt so I can have something patriotic to wear July 4th; anti-Americanism overseas be damned.
so if there's a certain brand of "biscuit" of cider somebody wants, lemmie know.
can you mail beer?

Wait a sec... your flight from Charlotte left at 7:40pm? It wasn't USAir, was it? If so, that was the flight my sister was supposed to take last night, but USAir "bollocksed up" her connecting flight from Raleigh to Charlotte so she ended up on an American flight direct from Raleigh instead. That would have been amazingly funny if you'd been on the exact same plane, though...
i made it!
yup, that's the flight. us airways has a one-way flight from charlotte to gatwick (and another vice versa) every day.
Congrats on making it! And wow, that would have been really funny if you and Jen had ended up on the same plane.
