Departure

O My God... its happening....
Feels so wierd.. I am so close i feel a bit numb... not scared, not excited, just a sense of calm has come over me and i am going to finish my packing and then head to the airport.. but have just had a shower and thought "how am i going to cope without my straigteners for the next... god knows how many weeks" - I am going to look like a cave woman! Ha ha ha ha!
Anyway.. flight to chicago leaves at 12 ish, so need to head off.. but from there am going 1st and business class to Quito (via san fran and Miami) so if there is internet in the business lounge.. i will update with the quality of service provided.... ha ha.. i had better enjoy it, as its probably the first and last time I travel first class!
Bye Bye Brittania! :D
