The Long And Winding Road

I feel that the title is appropriate...since I will in fact begin a long and winding journey (I mean 9 months can really fly by, but I pray it doesn't.) ohhh and for the sheer fact that I'm going to the UK baby and will be making a quick stop in Liverpool where those Beatle boys began!!!

So anyhow....I cannot believe that I will be finally beginning a new chapter in my life. I mean completely BRAND NEW.

Heather and I are sitting at the Burger King in the Orlando Airport waiting to get on our 10 hour flight to Frankfurt, Germany. I got this $7 neck pillow that I have to inflate myself, I'm sure I will not come across looking at all falac (sp?) while I blow all my hot air out to sleep comfortably.

It has not even hit me that I will be actually living and supporting myself fully in another country. Another language. Another mind. I cannot wait to lose myself in the culture and the people.

As soon as Heather and I get off the plane from Manchester we will be seeing the sights for the afternoon (I really should have brought that black jacket...which is quite appropriate for the English rains..and chill...but I felt I had to leave it begind. Kind of silly really.) From there we will be playing soccer (errr football) with Heather's friend Sarah, who is on a club team.

I can't believe I have to meet people in a foreign land with this shit on my face (I waxed my eyebrows for the first and LAST time I can promise you that). After I told Heather my horror story with my own face, she and Rahera decide to wax their upper lips and how Heather not only tore skin off the sides of her lips but her actual lip. Being a woman is so stressful and expensive.

Well the plane is leaving in 15. Ciao. See you in Britainland!
