Once on the ground and reunited with my suitcase I headed off for the trains and discovered that the "best" way to get to Southampton was via Brighton. *shrugs shouldrs* There used to be a direct train but it seems to have been rescheduled /rerouted. I ended up having to change twice (at Brighton and Fareham). My last leg was on a train actually going to Cardiff (my final destination of the day) but it wouldn't have waited at the station while I got my bags packed with "work" clothes :)
I had a bath and just crashed out on the bed - intending to "just rest my eyes for a minute". When I woke up several hours later I realised that I wouldn't be getting to Cardiff in time to work that day :)
Kat, I'm sorry for ringing you at 3 AM your time, but I figured you'd probably prefer me to call and let you know I was safe - my later call leads me to believe that was the correct decision :) (((((HUGS)))))
To the rest of you *BIG WAVE*
I'm a bit behind in reading my friends list and may well miss out some stuff just to actually cope with it all :) So ((Hugs)) to everyone, hope you are well and fit (or at least as fit as you were when I left) and hope to catch up and comment a bit over the next few days.
I'll actually be doing quite a bit of flying over the next few months. I've got a booking for a trip on Concorde *does little dance* (can't remember if I've told you all that before?) I phoned the travel agent up about it as I was in the departue lounge for the flight from London to Atlanta last week. I'd got my name down on a list for possible flights and managed to get one - it is outrageously expensive but it's a "once-in-a-lifetime" thing so I guess spending 2 months salary on it is OK. *gulp* I fly to New York on a conventional jet, have a few days over there then fly back on Concorde. I just hope here are plenty of photo opportunities. {oh forgot,this will be happening in late September, I'll give you the dates when I get my head more together :) )
I'm also flying over again in November for the New York Marathon - international man of mystery or what? *"Oh Baby" in sexy voice then sniggers and spoils the illusion :) *
OK, time to go - peace and prosperity to you all
