4 Days Left

Sweet :D!!! 4 days left, very exited, been packing my bags today, didnt realise how long it would take, I spend about 20mins on each item contemplating weather to pack it in suitcase or hand luggage and 90% of it is ending up in hand luggage, I have found out that im allowed approx 25kg for each bag and a total of 2 bags, if the weight runs over its and extra £20 so I best pack lightly.

At the end of the trek I still have to sort out how im getting back to New York and on what day, their are 3 possibilities:
1) Coach - not sure how much that will cost and it will take aaaaaagggggggggeeeeeeeesssss so thats a last ditch option.

3) Fly - This will probly be most expensive but the fastest method of travel.

Ok, i just spent about 30mins browsing the web, the best method seems to be by air, the flight is a couple of quid more but what the heck its ten times faster, i found this deal on last minute.com

Im going to go pack again now, im just flicking through the international staff handbook adding the things that are mentioned in that at the mo.
Catch you later :-)
