Today I have been busy getting ready to head out to Heathrow. I have a 10:00pm flight to Melbourne. This trip is turning into a bit of a nightmare – no one’s fault, just the way the world is right now. I’ll be glad to be on my way.
Of course the trip to Melboune is very long, so I can’t sleep all the way, much as I feel I need it. I have books, I have the Hugo-nominated fiction on my Asus, and I have METAtropolis on my iPhone. Hopefully I shall be well read by the time I get to Australia.
It looks like I’ll be at Joe’s Garage in Brunswick Street from about 7:00pm on Thursday (28th). Many thanks to Terry for organizing things. Contact him if you want to come along – I’ll be in the air and offline.
I’ve also booked my flight to Montreal. I’m flying Air Canada from London, but I decided not to wait for the discount coupon from Anticipation and I was afraid the flights I wanted would sell out quickly once those were available. I think I was right to do so, as there were not a lot of seats available when I booked. Obviously people who can jump in and book as soon as they get the coupon will be better placed to take advantage, but I have no idea what my email access will be over the next 2 weeks.
Anyway, time for lunch, and then off to Paddington.
Looking forward to catch up with you in Adelaide 🙂
Have a safe trip to New Zealand. Say Hi to WETA for us LOTR fans.
I, too, booked my flight to Montreal via Air Canada. I was hoping to wait until the discount coupon arrived, but when I saw how few seats were left, I decided to go ahead and do it now. I’m hoping that after the coupon arrives, I can call them and still get the discount for the already-booked seat.
Yes, seat singular. Tupou and Elizabeth will not be going this year, due to our move.
