PRE-TAKE OFF (10...9...8...7...6...5...4)

Roll up roll up! Read all about! Yes, that's right, its only 4 sleeps to go! (Not that Ive been counting or anything!) Well it has been an eventful few months since my first entry and let's just say Im glad the day for take off is near. I've had enough of researching, bookings and the anticipation. It's time to zip up thy bag and head to the US (n.b no creams, gels and liquids in my hand luggage). Hopefully Im still allowed to take some hand luggage after the scare in the UK last Thursday. Im hoping a bag, book and music are not out of the question... or Im going to be relying on the entertainment on board - whether that be animal, vegetable or mineral!

Over the last two weeks Ive taken sick and lost my voice (hooray was the response of the majority of my lovely friends!) but Im on the mend and hoping for a 100% bill of health by 4am Friday when I rise/stumble/fall out of bed to head to the Adelaide airport. No Coopers for me at 6am at the airport's Coopers Alehouse but maybe on my return I wont be able to resist the calling of a Lager or a Pale after an absence of 5 + weeks.
