Neither of us got much sleep, but the flight seemed to go quickly. We caught up with the sun around 1:00 am eastern time (6:00 am GMT) which really made it seem like morning, even though it had only been dark out for a few hours. We were served croissants (which somehow seemed more international to me) at 6:30 am GMT, and we landed at Gatwick at 7:45 am GMT. At this point, I think our tiredness was fended off by our excitement as we quickly made our way through the customs line. A group from Zimbabwe was lined up in front of us, and they looked much more tired than we did. After clearing customs, we zipped off to find the ticket window for the Gatwick Express in to the city. This turned out ... read more

Well I arrived safe and sound in Sunny Rodos, no major problems with flights, although they still are very strict with liquids in your hand luggage so be warned anyone flying out in the near future. I would certainly recommend going via London Gatwich again as no problems there in doing the transfer and all my luggage arrived at the same time as me (even though I did fly B.A!!) Feels like I've been here for weeks, but this is only the start of my 3rd day! It is a lot hotter today (been very windy over past couple of days). Am going to Kos next week for a few days with my friends, taking the boat and staying in a rather nice hotel - www.kosaktis.gr (hang the expense!!) Well that's all for now, off to ... read more

Were are all living in America, America ist wunderbar-- die Freiheit spielt aus allen Geigen, die Musik kommt aus den Weissen Haus und vor Paris steht Mickey Maus... Ja niille joilla koulusaksa jai valiin, suomennos: Me asutaan kaikki Amerikassa, Amerikka on mahtava—vapaus kaikuu joka torvesta, musiikki raikaa valkoisesta talosta ja Pariisin porteilla seisoo Mikki Hiiri... Tama pikku johdantona Pariisissa kolmessa vuodessa tapahtuneisiin muutoksiin. Mikki ei ole enaa Pariisin porteilla Eurodisneyssa, vaan asuu Pariisin keskustassa Starbuckseissa ja Ben&Jerry's:n jaateloissa. Ei siina mitaan, tahtitaalan kahvit on hyvia ja Ben&Jerry's -noloa kylla- parempaa kuin Ile St. Louisin kuuluisa Berthillon jaatelo, mutta vahan suretti Pariisin muuttuminen Parisicaksi. Ja toisaalta, shoppaillessani omilla « sala-alueilla », siella mista ns. Paris chicin saa kolme-nelja kertaa halvemmalla, ... read more

So, I got up and got packed as Alicia did the same for she was heading to the islands for the weekend. We then caught the metro and parted our ways. I got to the airport check-in to be told there is a good chance i might not make today's flight as they were nearing the plane's weight limit. So, i had to wait along with other people to see how many of us will make the flight. Well, it came down to a couple, me, and one other lady left w/ just 30 minutes before the plane departs. She then said she can take one more person and since the couple didn't want to split up, i was next on the list!!! Thank god!!! So, i rushed onto the plane and was on my way ... read more
