"I'm so excited, my pee is fizzy..."

Its finally here! The day before the big flight. Only a few hours left before I take on my epic adventure into the unknown, to the new world. I wonder if Columbus felt this excited? or was he just worried about Scurvy?

The housework is all done, the final check pack all done and the boarding passes printed. That was another key moment in my trip, holding my faded boarding passes in my hand (the printer ink is low...). I been bouncing around the house most of the day with my 'New York' playlist blaring, I'm sure the neighbours are tired of hearing a muffled Frank Sinatra.

The cats, I think, are going to miss me. I know I'm going to miss them. I wonder what they think of all this.....

They seem to be happily sleeping on the bed right now. Scamp? You gonna miss daddy for two weeks?

Right.. um. Ok. What about you Bumble? What do you think of me leaving you for 2 weeks?

Yes! you'll be getting fed. *sighs* well they seem to be ok with being alone for a couple of weeks. My Mum is gonna drop by to make sure they are fed and cleaned every few days. In the meantime, Rob is popping down every day to drop out some dry food for them.

Thanks for that Rob, its much appreciated.

Its going to be a very long day tomorrow, that I know. I leave my house at 8am in the morning, to catch a 12:50 flight from Heathrow. Landing in JFK at 16:10 local time. Then I change at 19:10 to fly to Albany and arrive there at 20:35. Thats...1..2...3.. ALOT of hours without a smoke! ARGH! I'll be met by Sam... Now, don't you forget to meet me else there's gonna be a rather tired and peeved Englishman turning up at your house with a farrowed brow.

Just one last thing to report before I head off. The hotel we're staying in while in NYC has changed. Here is the link to the new one...

New Hotel

That's it for now, my next post will be from the United States, which is somewhere in America!
