Booked my ticket to the States 2 weeks ago and been sorting out all my stuff at Bekey's house since then. Seems to have been a relative success, packed up the last of my worldly goods and moved boxes to Mum and Dad&#8217;s house. Was pretty sad to be moving out, I&#8217;ve been living with my big sister for about 18 months and have really enjoyed it. Bekey&#8217;s taken good care of me (lots of delicious meals, yum) and we&#8217;ve had a lot of fun. Had lots of cuddles ...

We are both a little tired of freezing everynight, being soaking wet, using public showers and toilets, etc. Eleven weeks is just a bit too long for this sort of adventure.

We were told it is here that we would meet brits our own age who would give us the lowdown on what to do in London. While it is so convenient and not that strange to see a pub in the middle of a college's court yard ...

... rise city according to the pictures in the magazines on the aircraft but we never saw it. We passed through into the transit lounge upon landing and once again pleasantly surprised at the care they take of business class passengers. Lots to eat and drink. Clean toilets. Nothing was too much trouble.[ I might add here that the cabin crew were all delightfully female in business class.] We bought some Scotch in the duty free area and boarded GF3 to Heathrow about an hour later. The seats ...

Hannah March 2006 --------------------------- (entry written August 2005) I am just new to this so bear with me until I get this site sorted out :-) Anyway, we have a vague kind of plan worked out.
