I can only imagine what chaos it would have been traveling yesterday, but thankfully I didn't have to. I am, however, traveling a week from today. Actually this time next week I'll be (hopefully) on the plane and bound for London Gatwick (ah once again I'm glad I never fly into Heathrow!) So, because of new regulations I've been repacking my suitcases, well, that and because I have WAY TOO MUCH STUFF. I'm bringing an extra bag (yup paying the excess baggage fee of ::gulp: around $100) and at least one of my other bags are over the 50 lb. limit (thank you airlines for LOWERING the limit in April!) so I'll be paying the "I'm too important to listen to the rules" fee of $35 on each case I'm thinking. This moving stuff is getting expensive.<br /><br />Because I'm travelling from the US to London I will be able to bring a carry-on (thank god). Of course, unlike my usual carry-on, this one won't be weighed down with water (I usually bring 3 bottles of water, at least). Oh, and my body spray and tooth paste will of course have to be packed in the checked baggage. Thank the lord for Oral-B Brush-Ups! Oh, yeah, and supporting documents that enable me to get my visa will be in there too (because I'm paranoid about getting past UK Immigration) even though I have entry clearence. <br /><br />Now if only I could get the energy to clean...oh well, I still have a week...right?!<div style="clear:both; padding-bottom:0.25em"></div> </span> <br> <span class=smallbody>Posted by Juls</span> <br><p><br> <div class="blogComments"> Comments: <a class="comment-link" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/16801369/115533522458501323">Post a Comment</a> </div> <span style="display: none;">Get awesome <a href="http://www.blogskins.com/">blog templates</a> like this one from <a href="http://www.blogskins.com/">BlogSkins.com</a></span></body> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> <span style="display: none;">Get awesome <a href="http://www.blogskins.com/">blog templates</a> like this one from <a href="http://www.blogskins.com/">BlogSkins.com</a></span></body> </HTML>
