Woooo!! Finally, after months and months of planning, I am at Heathrow waiting to get on a flight to JFK, NYC!!!! Eeeeeeee!! Im massively excited, which doesnt bode well for my fellow passengers!! I am reliably informed that there are 49 other BUNAC people flying on the same flight so hopefully at least one of those will be heading for Long Lake.
Have decided backpacks are insanely annoying (ha, after 2 days with one, this is going well!!) I keep forgetting I have one on my back and whacking people with it. I took out a small child on the way to the airport, backpacks are also good for self defence from irate mothers, just FYI. Judging by the shocked look on a womans face on the Tube yesterday it looks as big as it feels, I imagine its somewhat like going from a Mini to a LandRover, I just need to get used to the fact Im twice as wide as I was 2 days ago! Im not yet bow-legged from the weight, although it shouldnt be long, I havent stood up straight with it on yet, thats what I get for needing my life for the next 4 months to fit into 80 litres!
Have heard a lot of American accents so far today, (I have no idea why it didnt occur to me that on a flight to New York there'd be Americans, guess I didnt think about it!) and its very much making me miss my Auntie in Utah! I havent seen her properly in over 5 years and I cant wait to go stay with her! Just sucks that Im gonna have to wait another 10 weeks, its like being homesick, I just want to get there!! But all in good time, I can at least ring her when I get there and it wont cost the earth so thats something!!
Right Im off to peruse the duty free shops, there's a Harrods and a Tiffanys here (Im definitely not in Newcastle anymore!) so the chances of me leaving with English money are slim to none haha. Shall see you all on the other side of the pond, eeeeeeeeeee :)
