I'm packed (I think)

[selenay]

Tomorrow I catch my flight to Canada, which means getting up at silly o'clock because we must be at Heathrow by 8am Or Else. This means that we're giving ourselves lots and lots of time (90 minutes) to get there because, although it's usually only a 45 minute drive, we've been caught out before and still been on the M25 in stationary traffic when check-in was supposed to have ended. We still got our flight that time, but, y'know, it's caused some paranoia now.

Expect us to be at Heathrow by around 7.15am tomorrow so that we can spend four hours waiting for our flight instead of the recommended three hours. We know that if we leave ten minutes later, we'll be hideously late for check-in because all the traffic will snarl up.

However.

I am packed. I think. I always have the option of removing or adding things if I've forgotten them. I'm sticking Sensible Man and The Return of Donna Noble onto a pen drive so that I can work on them if I have a few minutes during the week. The notebook with Sensible Man is going into my hand-luggage rather than checked luggage because I am paranoid. I also have a plastic baggie with a change of undies and socks Just In Case. Watch the paranoia grow as the departure nears.

paranoidangel42: You can see which books are going with me to Canada by looking at the "in canada" tag on LibraryThing. I am sure that I can arrange a quite corner for you to hide and read when you visit later in the year :-)

Unless something odd happens, I probably won't post here again until I'm in Canada. Yay! Holiday!

And now I shall go and knit in front of the TV because I haven't actually finished the scarf that I'm taking with me tomorrow...

Thank you! There are three I'll be reading when I'm over there :)

Have a nice trip!

*g* I'm having a great trip and the books arrived here safely. Lugging them through the airport was not fun, but it's a relief to know that they're here and safe. I shall make sure that there's a nice comfy chair around for you to read in when you visit. In fact, I'm going to the furniture store right now...

Silly o'clock? lol I call that either 0:dark:thirty or the butt crack o' dawn.

Hope you have a wonderful time!

*g* I think that's a British-ism! I'm always interested by the colloquialisms that get used elsewhere. Wonder what my Canadian aunt would have called it?

I'm having a terrific time, thank you :-)
