BON VOYAGE LILY

Posted 09-13-2009 at 08:21 PM by Lily Joliat
I'll provide my trip details here so as not to keep going on ad nauseam in Nobody Cares.
I did my early check in online. I got my precious aisle seat, 41H. Now unless I'm sitting next to incontinent people who have to use the restroom every 5 min should be optimal seating. Last trip coming home from London I sat next to drunk elderly people. The man snored and the woman kept leaning on the chair arm with my tv controls and changing the channel. Then the plane was held at the gate for 6 people to be carted out by the paramedics for food poisoning.
My parents are treating me to Denny's for a good american, grand slam. then Two hour drive to LAX.6hur lay over in Heathrow and then to Newcastle for fun and games.
It will be a busy two weeks: Alnwick Food Festival, meet Muka, visit the church where my grandmother was both baptised and married in, and grandparent birthplaces, meet Velm's parents, various parties with friends for further examination.
And then I come back to Vista, CA, wait for my fiance visa to be approved, save up money for my one way ticket, my dog's ticket and that will be that.

    I had a drunk, cute, Japanese girl fall asleep on my lap on a train once. Unfortunately, no such luck on a plane.
    She looked pretty embarrassed when she woke up

    I saw someone that looked like Lily hanging around Fenwicks at about 4.40pm today. I nearly approached them but got scared.

    Can't promise anything, Brig - going to be on a strict budget since none of my English friends over there seem willing to put me up for a night or two

    Here are some photos of our trip so far. Done lots of walking around down town and the weather reminds me of San Francisco without the fog. Muka said it was ok to post photos of his real moniker so here's the link. Can't upload photos here apparently so forgive the advertising for my flickr page: Cali Girl goes to Newcastle - a set on Flickr
