Dead, But Alive
Jul. 20th, 2011 05:46 pmJust a very fast, sleep-deprived note to let everyone know I'm alive and well (I think! I'm a little too fried to know for sure) in Canterbury. ::tiny squee because that's all the energy I can muster; larger squee forthcoming::
Completely exhausted. Still, it was something of a miracle that I made it to Canterbury more or less at the intended time, so I'll take that.![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
ragdoll, twilightsorcery, its_art, little_werewolf, and I all flew into Heathrow from different points of origin, but arranged to arrive at similar times, then meet at the airport bus station and travel by coach to Canterbury together. Well, 3/5 of us had flight delays. My flight arrived an hour late; twilightsorcery's landed even later. Then I discovered that getting from Terminal 5 over to the bus station (which is between Terminals 1 and 3) was far more difficult than it sounded (and than it should have been, honestly!).
Oh, and just to add insult to injury: Apparently I was wearing my Invisibility Cloak on the plane, because the flight attendants somehow missed me entirely when dinner came around and when tea and coffee came around a bit after that. Epic amounts of WTF there. I know I've lost some weight (unfortunately), but I'm pretty sure I don't actually disappear when I turn sideways...
Long, long trip, chaos, chaos, chaos, sleep-deprivation, more long trip, more chaos... But we did make our coach trip (both legs, even!) and arrived in Canterbury without major incident, so really, I have to count it as a success in the end.
The B&B is really cute too. I'm in a single room that's tiny but cozy. I like it. :)
Also, I've been in England for 24 hours and have already seentwilightsorcery, ragdoll, its_art, little_werewolf, gatewaygirl, ravenna_c_tan, leni_jess, kennahijja, lazy_neutrino, scarletladyy, and scarletladyy's fiance, K. Win! This con is going to be epic, I can tell already! \o/
HOMG exhausted.
Very, very confused about what day it is. Since I haven't been to bed yet, this has been the longest Tuesday ever. But when I wake up in the morning, it'll be Thursday. Exceedingly baffling.
Now, however, I'm full of nummy margaritas and about to faceplant on my keyboard. It looks like tomorrow is going to be petty busy. Hope to report in with something a bit more exciting and less delerious tomorrow, but we'll see...
