It's a one-way ticket on August 18th, found on STA Travel flying Virgin Atlantic and just under $600. <br /><br />So I'm actually packing now. Yesterday I sent 2 boxes of books (a total of almost 25 lbs) to Pete's house. It'll take 4-6 weeks for them to get there, and I sent them using M-Bags for $23 woohoo. I have around 5 other boxes to send, the heaviest weighing 25lbs...I might bite the bullet and send them all air mail (total estimated at around $295) but I guess that'd be better than waiting for them (economy/surface mail isn't very reliable). <br /><br />I think my family is taking the news ok, I know my dad is supportive and encouraging. I am very thankful to him for that. My sister doesn't want me to leave, and was a bit surprised I was leaving so early. My brothers are, well, brothers -- so they have no outward emotions, but I think they'll miss me. <br /><br />I know I'll miss everyone a lot, but I really feel I'm need of a new start -- especially very eager to be with my wonderful husband after almost 8 years in a long distance relationship ;)<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/16801369/115447637912046337">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>
