Day 0: Waiting at the airport

13 08 2008

Here we go: I’ve checked in, and I’m typing this in front of the plane I will be boarding in an hour or so (and thanks to Miss 604 for posting about YVR’s free wifi, without which I won’t be able to post this from my own laptop).

I may have booked my flight to the UK two months ago, but it took a very long time for me to get to this point. There were several points in the last few years when I could have dropped everything and taken a trip, but life usually intervenes, be it school, work, or other unexpected events that derail those plans, but only temporarily. If I had all the time and money, then I could just travel all the time. But that just isn’t the case, sadly.

Nevertheless, I’m starting to get excited about this trip. The next 38 days will be a whirlwind, but I’ll try and stop and keep you posted on where I’ve been and what I’ve been doing.
