Back Pack with Stuff out

Everything officially in the backpack

All in all the backpack weighs 16 pounds. But I am slowly figuring out I dont have anything with me I need, nor do I have the appropriate clothes for what I am doing, which is in fact not backpacking.

Continued Airport Rambling

    Alright, so Im at the airport and still with out internet access. I figure I should just keep writing though as it will make people happy with all these updated blog stuff. But I did finally get around to buying a book to read and pretty much throw out when Im done, I caved and bought the book One Day which is what the movie is based on, even though I try not to buy ones where I know what happens. Technically though I have only seen the preview so I don't fully know what happens. Anywho, I should have showed up at the airport a long while ago. This one seems to be the place to be, since almost every place possibly, not excluding on the ground, hidden under signs, and any place you can pretty much walk there is a body sprawled out sleeping and the shops are still open so its pretty much a free for all. I am glad though that I went to the museum and show. The musical was pretty kickass. I don't think it ranks very high in my musical list but for the music and everything...

London at the first glance

Sitting in Caffee Nero (the type they use makes the O look like a D so at first I was really excited to go eat at cafe nerd and use their free wifi, oh well) updating and watching all the london folk go about their day. The first thing I noticed when glancing out the window of the airplane was the giant highway going through the rolling acres and the fact that the cars were all on the wrong side. Second was the castle of course. But you have to love it that when you land suddenly the voice over the loudspeaker telling you arrived is a british accented ground crew. I thought they might have been hiding the british stewardess in the back until we got there then let her out as a little surprise.     Customs was fairly easy, specially since that was what I was the most nervous about. I didn't even have to show my fake itinerary. The guy just asked me about school and stuff like that. It did take an hour to get through that line though. And yes I had the 9 hour flight next to...

My Miserable Night to Wales

By -
So I think I kind of worried everybody with my totally miserable status on Facebook. Heres the story of what has happened to me in the last 48 hours.     My last morning in the hostel I ended up staying in the common room and hanging out with people I'd met because I didn't want to walk around for the whole day with my stuff and I wouldn't be able to get back in if I left. My train left at 9 at night so I finally got to the station at 830. Heres another smack on the head situation. Paddington station, when you get off the tube it says you can connect to the rail, thing is I didn't know where you connected to the rail and where to get my ticket and everything. So immediately after getting off the tube I asked information where it was, he just says go up the stairs. After walking up the stairs I realized how dumb I probably sounded. As soon as you top the stairs there is this giant enormous train station. I couldn't stop thinking of platform 9 and 3/4 the entire time...
