Right, quick update on all things in my Mitchy-shaped world :)
( Birmingham Trip )
I'm sure I did stuff at the weekend but what I did escapes me. There was football and baseball and American Football watching. Oh and I bought the DVD of Robin Hood with Russell Crowe, so there was happy squeaking over that at some point :)
This week is all about the last minute holiday stuff. This morning, I've bought my train tix to get to and from Heathrow. It was the cheapest and quickest option this time around - normally I leave the car in long term parking but I baulked at paying current prices for a 17 day stay! Tonight 'm going shopping for a new shiny phone, possibly an Android. More about that if I find something. Tomorrow I must buy a rucksack. I had a great rucksack that would be perfect for this trip but I can't find the blasted thing anywhere. Harrumph. You can bet your boots it'll show up roughly five minutes after I bring a new one home :P Friday afternoon I've booked off work so I can go get a haircut and buy one or two bits and bobs.
Friday evening will be packing, which won't take long as yet again 'm attempting an international trip on hand luggage only. I maaay have to check the rucksack in on the two internal flights I'll be taking, but that's ok. I know it'll be fine for the international part of the trip and really it's baggage claim at Heathrow that I hate so much.
And then I fly off to the US West Coast for 2 weeks! I think this is the longest holiday I've had abroad since I was a teen - most of the big US trips have been 13 days or so. Eee! Really looking forward to it. *happy bounce*
