My laundry was done yesterday, and today was the start of packing planning. I won't probably start packing until tomorrow night.

I've got to concentrate on work today...I've got to concentrate on work today...I've got to concentrate on work today...

Hello Adventurers! Just realized how close your trip is and wanted to wish you all the best on your exciting journey! Safe travels, everyone!!

 

[sayhello]

Glad your flights went well, TobiJ.

See you later this week!

See you soon!!!!!

Wow! Some of us already being there really makes it real!!!! And I haven't started packing! Better get moving on that!

Laurie

think how it feels for me!

I actually started today. I've got the important documents in the carry-on. I still have not put one piece of clothing in a suitcase though. Got to get on that...

I already hate half of what I brought!

Haven't packed yet either...I do have the suitcases out and a pile started! Lo.

Tobi, Walter, Pete...so glad you made it safely!

Thanks!!! See you soon!

Bring some long pants. I should have brought jeans!

I've got to concentrate on work today...I've got to concentrate on work today...I've got to concentrate on work today...

Resistance is futile!

We are 98% packed! We just need to pack a few last essentials and then we are ready to head out the door on Wednesday!

How many suitcases, Mike???

I can't focus on anything - including packing! I can't imagine, for example, being a DU agent having to focus on booking 2012 ABDs today and tomorrow! I did manage to get all of my last minute errands done though.

Does anyone remember where the discussion about tips for the guides was on this board? I know it's up to each individual but I thought there was a recommended amount somewhere.

Thank you for thinking of me today.

Lots of folks are excited about next year's Adventures.

If you have the little handbook ABD sent, there is a tipping guide toward the back.

 

[columnwest]

This is helpful. Thanks! I think my issue with the Millennium Bridge (aside from my general fear of bridges) is that I have seen the Harry Potter movies too many times, so my mental image of that bridge is of it twisting and falling into the Thames.

Safe travels all!!!!

Laurie

LOL, well if Voldemort and the Death Eaters show up, I think the bridge will be the least of your worries. I'm sure you'll have a great time.

Just wanted y'all to look for me at the London Meet ....



I won't be there, but you can still look! Consider that your DL podcaster visit for this ABD!




Have fun!!!

So this trip is finally real, I'm at Canberra Airport, hanging in the quite nice lounge with an adult beverage and a plate of food - flight is delayed, but who cares!

Tonight in Sydney - next update will be from the First Class Lounge tomorrow morning. The nice First Hosts have called today, arranged my 50 minute massage for tomorrow afternoon!

See you all soon

Thanks, Kevin! I knew I saw it somewhere!

You know, a 25" suitcase looks much smaller when your closet explodes onto the bed for packing. Edit. Edit. Edit.

Hi All!

I just wanted to wish you a FABULOUS trip!! I also wanted to let you know that they were discussing a very neat app on The View today. It's called Word Lens and it instantly translates text (say from a map or book) into English via your iPad. I think it also works on the iPhone and thought it might come in handy while you guys are away.

Can't wait to see pics!

I wonder if it does British English to US English.

Popping in to wish everyone a fantastic trip! I know you have all been waiting a long time and it's finally here. Just remember to stop and smell the roses. Take a moment to realize where you are and soak it all in.

Cheers!
