the time has come the walrus said

Well, in 18 hours I'll be on a plane bound for the UK via Dubai I can hardly believe it's actually happening, I need to really pinch myself to get that I'm a part of this its not just happening to someone else.
The bags are packed and have been repacked just have to keep myself busy until flight time -see you on the other side

6 days to go....

Well, the packing has started the preparations are well underway, it looks like the big trip to Europe is actually happening. Excited is not the word I would use to describe how I feel at the moment, my mind is thinking about one hundred and one things to do before I get on that plane. The excitement can't get through all of these thoughts just yet but give it time its gradually winning over its share of my mind.
