[Andrew DEREK UK]

hey everyone. i finally made it back to the boards. i'm in London, weather has been unbelievely great,hardly rained. Already got my Harry Potter fix and been to Covent Gardens, Stone Henge, Salisbury, and took the hop on, hop off bus around town. Tommorrow is Tower of London and Westminister Abbey, then off to the airport to catch my 6pm flight to Barcelona. Can't believe our time in London is almost up. See you in Barcelona!

Glad its not raining there the river Thames is very high. Sounds like she has done a lot.

OK Full on panic mode. I felt a momentary slip of sanity coming on so I had to jump on here real quick to get a reality check.

Good news: DD's TB test came out negative as we all suspected but still you know. DH is out running getting a new pair of tennis shoes which I insisted he needed for the last 2 months - and he said no! I hate being right!

ANyway, Panic mode as my suitcase is packed but my paperwork is scattered and the house looks like Dorothy's tornado hit.

OK - deep breath here - limo is supposed to be here in 2 1/2 hrs and the other passengers in 2 - will I be done? Stay tuned.

You'll see some panic in my typing - but should be good for some laughs if you follow along!

OH Yeah! I LOVE my iphone although I the problems it gave me trying to upload it it almost feels like childbirth!!!!!!


TO BE CONTINUED......

OK - looks like I have a second - does anyone want to help me? I packed away the packing list and can't remember what was on it. THis is what I have in my carry-on:

Passports,
DCL tickets,
Museum Pass Tickets,
Boarding Passes
toothbrush, toothpaste
Camera,
Lenses
Ipod,
Cable for Ipod, Battery Charger for Camera
new notebook - hope DH packed the cables or I'm SOL

anything else?

Why of why am I panicing?

Maybe becaus4e DH is out shopping!

Take a deep breath, 1, 2, 3........you WILL make it!! Safe travels.........

I am packing right now.....GO ME, GO ME.........I love MJ, her packing list is really keeping me calm (so far)......one suitcase done.......Meds, toiletries, T-shirts, Gift bag........next it'll be my clothes, I also organized our docs into my carryon.......my problem is going to be that I still have to wait two whole days to leave (actually I should be arriving at the airport exactly two days from now!!!!!!)

QUOTE FOR THE DAY FROM BARCELONA


The rain in Spain,
falls mainly on the Plain.

Its rather windy in the city, so skirts do not use.

On the sail away party for our forthcoming cruise!

 

[bellelinus]

We went at 9.00am went straight up the Lift to the top extra E2 each, the line was free on arrival 90 mins when we can down.

Yes, thanks for the confirmation that going early is the way to go . . .

I've read it twice - next will be to listen to the audio book

Try right clicking on the PDF link and select "Save Target As" (in IE) "Save Link As" in Firefox. Then you should be able to double click the file to open it.

The PDF file does require that you have Acrobat Reader on your system (most people do). If not, you can download it here.

I think I was just trying to do too much at once. I was able to get it a little later.

I'm glad your mom pulled through. About 5 minutes after posting yesterday my mom called, and my grandmother has finally found peace. Strange, but all I could think of this morning was "how is grandpa going to eat now?" He never bothered to learn how to cook.

Hi everyone! We are here in Barcelona, and I am on the hotel computer, since we do not have internet in the room and I cannot find a wireless connection.

It took 19 hours to get here, and other than the 3-hour delay in Philadelphia it was very smooth. Barcelona could not have been any easier, and we did not have any trouble with pickpockets or anything like that.

We are in a tiny room with 3 beds, but after a rest we'll get out and walk around. I am feeling the lack of sleep now. lol

Oh, and it's very warm and humid here right now.

I'm happy you made it safe. We leave tomorrow from SFO in the evening. OK - back to trying to catch up.

Oh God the limo's her e- my stomach is in knots and I'm going to throw up - bye all - till later!

 

[eeyorelvr10]

OK - gotta go - everyone is outside - bye til later!
