The final countdown...

So, this is my first entry on my blog.. and the first of many over the coming year!

Mainly I'm blogging today to say that I have just booked my flight for the 9th. It's leaving at 16.00 UK time and arriving at Newark airport at 18.40 NY time. Its with Virgin, apparently they do the best movies... but I wouldn't know having never flown long haul before!!! arrrrgghhh

So, I have just over a week to go, and I have a whole pantload of stuff to do before take-off...
Today, I knocked a few things off that list. I got up early and went to the bank. I called the people at my current job who think I am still in France on holiday, and don't know I came back a week early! They were so nice about me leaving so I'm really happy about that cos I was starting to worry a little bit.
Also today, Nanny Joan and Grandad Terry came to visit for lunch which was nice, but I'll see them next weekend before I go too.

Ooh, the other thing I can check off is the getting of a visa... I had my visa interview at the US Embassy, which was 'citing.... I met a few people doing the same thing as me, which was cool.. and I got to go to Selfridges after which was even cooler. Haha. Only trouble is I am too poor to buy the many things I wanted.

The only thing left to say today, is that Mum and Dad are coming back from France tomorrow so that means that I need to get some washing done before then...

Oh the banality...

I promise it will get better hahaha
