Looking back, just tripping Days up to 1 (not completed)

Wow! It's done! At one point, I thought I wouldn't even be able to leave in the first place, but it's done and it was wonderful, and somewhat painful too.
Alright Day -1 Week-End
Over the week-end, I left for MTL to surprise my brother for his birthday! It was genuine! We passed Sunday; breakfast, laser gun (2 games) and Wii. It was really fun and my brother was very happy of seeing me and my parents there. So Monday was with my friend Mary, always fun to be with her, it was relax and I got to travel around MTL/LAVAL/Her place. Monday night was at my bro's because I had to leave around 12.00 to get to the bus station (to the airport) ((So that night we got to play a wee-bit more Wii))
Day 0 Tuesday (MTL)
I woke up early to see my brother leave for work, I stayed at his place with his girlfriend. I was to 'check' out around 12.00 to get to Berry where there is a coach station. I wanted to get on time at the airport, and we never know what might happened, so better be early than sorry (I say!) So, I got to Berry, bought myself a coach ticket to get to YUL (15$) 20mins later (or slightly more) I arrived at YUL, with my huge backpack. It must have been around 1.30, probably a bit earlier than that. I went immediatly to check in, I didn't want to carry on my bag too long...Zoomairlines booth were empty, so we had to wait....and I wasn't the first in line, people got there earlier than me?!?! ;o) 30min later, all was done, but boarding time was only around 15.30; I got myself a lunch at St-Hubert. Airports's restaurents are so much more expensive than the real thing, horrible! And there was taxes since I hadn't been to the second check point...bummer. After meal, a little tour around the airport and I sat down to write some stuff (which will be re-transcripted here someday) and finally time closing on 3.00 or so, I decided to give it a try and I actually passed, so I didn't get the time on my ticket...oh well...so some more time waiting before getting on the plane, but waiting lounge is quite comfy with TVs to entertain ourselves (actually, what was shown was bits of shows and it was constantly on re-run), I wrote some more stuff, and took out my London guide to check out what I would do on my very first day there. Time passed and we were called to get on the plane, we were only a few. On board, we were told that more people would come in at Halifax. I had taken a seat next to the window to check out the view, which was breath-taking all along (even if most of the flight was at night, I got to see a couple of cities ((of lights)) around Halifax and London) The airplane had change so instead of having only one person next to me I had 2, luckily I didn't have to get to the bathroom, I would have gone, but I would have felt so bad about it. Movies shown: Harry Potter, Mr Bean. Flight was good, 6 hours after we touched ground at Gatwick.

Yep, I have faith in my LT and I think that everything will be fine AND I will have enough in my pockets to buy me glasses...with the help of my dad, or so I heard (which is really good!) I will post another schedule thing and see with what it would cost me. I am waiting to call for my credit card, but in less than 2 weeks it should be taken cared of... I rectifie that... in the middle of september! oups...but still it should happen.. ;o) I never thought summer would have pass on so quickly...I have been counting my paydays, to know what I would put on my credit card and I am 500$ short to finally clear it. I need a little push, I feel a bit too confident about my LT so I often spend too much on stuff that is needless to say, not so important! Help me!! I need to hold on 3 more months and this will be it!

-Ipod plug

my faith is wobbly (just talking)

Countdown: 110 days

Alrighty! 110 days... that seems like almost less than 3 months...WOUHOU! Still haven't bought my plane ticket...but that shall be very soon...

I have to ask my sisters and my parents what they want.
I have to check up my schedules and re-see what I will do or not...Bournmouth is pretty certain but if I don't get enough money, it won't happened..and you see now, my problem is getting the $$ in my credit card...I don't feel as motivated as much, and I always get new stuff (not important, may I add) to buy...seems like I am on the edge of almost not going...well... once the tickets will be bought, this LT will seems more legit hence more real... hopefully... and I'll be more minded into it... *crosses fingers*.

See I use to write up some many things in here, and I don't... though outside of this blog I do talk about LT a lot...and maybe i jinxed it...ARGGG I hope not! Anyway we will see!....

I am down to 850 to put on my credit card... (AND I am paying Sam! Big deal to me!!) So... I guess by the end of this summer I will have 50 to put and I'll be fine... hopefully the will add some more money of my card...but nevertheless, I will be able to go to London... I'll put away Southampton and Bournemouth! that easy!

Alright. so I had this idea to take a book with me ( The Alchemist: Paulo Coelho) and to write a little note in it, like... contact me after you have read this book... *my email adresss* and let this book somewhere it will be picked up. thanks... So my book will travel... and hopefully somewhere than England too! I don't know if it will work out but I am more than willing to give it a try!

Another thing: In "Ser como o rio que flui, Paulo Coehlo says 9 things to do, or not to do while travelling;

#1 Avoid Museums

#2 Go to Bars, Pubs, Café's

#3 Be available

#4 Travel on your own (Yes, sir!)

#5 Don't compare

#6 Understand that anyone/everyone (can) understand you

#7 Don't buy too much

#8 Don't try to see the World within a month

#9 Travelling is an adventure

Well... I know this time I won't see so many museums... but I will (come on, I am going to be an archaeologist one day!!); I will try to go to bars/pubs... every night... either for supper or just for a drink!; be available...I will let place for some unexpected stuff to happen; I WILL travel on my own this time; I won't compare...; I'll try to speak (in a bar...) to people; ischhhh, that one is going to be hard, but I will spend money on food and maybe an album on a singer from England (that is not known here); 5 days is not enough! lol; I KNOW!!

And I come back after all of this.

I plan to do my pictures on Sunday... I guess I should have plenty of times for that.. no movie but maybe a play (like a musical at one night), a night walk for sure and thursday or Friday at Bournemouth... wednesday for straightly to the Hostel and start a museum if I may...if I am done.. another museum or Mme Thussaud's Saturday museum or walking... and I guess on Sunday (after all the pictures I may be able to talk some walks around the city too... Some of those things to visit won't happen... but hey... I'll still have a 'short' week to pass in London.

Things I want to see (or do) 2 - Lincoln's Inn Field

May update, part 1

Ok so I thought I would lost the possibility of doing my LT ( My Visa card had expired) But I was told that I could ask again (a re-emission) for my visa, I just need to pay some more off of it. The planes tickets are out and about, but then I can't buy them yet... (no visa card!) BUT I think everything will be fine!
*My travel pal asked me to go to France for a 3 weeks getway and sightseeing... she doesn't know that I am planning this, first!*
I will get to other stuff but this very afternoon I will write a list of things to see and do while in England... it will be just some sort of raw list that I might take some off until I do my LT
I am still ever so excited, sometimes I find myself to reminisce of the earlier trip and how it will be exciting and fun to do... I need to stop babblering about it! I think people will be very tired of hearing me
I am planning some sweet revenge on Sam, like two weeks prior to my departure ( or even a month, if I can't hold it any longer), I'll tell her about it... but I'll also specify that I want to do it alone and that if she wants she is more than welcomed to (not) follow me *jokes* No really she could, just not all the way!
I don't know if I have mentioned it earlier (entry) but I found on Avatar's yahoo.com that we could send postcards...it's very fun, so I will send many (free) postcards on the net with me (let's say in the tube or, at a café!)
- I need to pay Sam! $$$
- My travel note book = Taken cared of
-Lists, lists and some more lists ( a souvenir list, to see what I'll bring back for friends)
-Money count $$$
-Allo Stop Pass... (soon, very soon)
-I need a 'quickpod' !!

Things that I want to see (or do) 1- Millenium Bridge (it actually looks very good at night! I didn't know so.

An Early Start

Alright, so I thought, instead of keeping myself thinking about the past, I should focus on the future. So I am starting this blog about my next london trip (LT) which should happen around Halloween... ( I JUST realised I would be missing Halloween, *laughs*) So I will put out all of my doings, and farings around when I will be there (which might happened just a little afterwards when I'll be back home/QC. But I think I might be able to put out an entry or two...

I will also keep you updated on my money, my plans and else (all LT related of course) all the way

OHHH and by the way, this trip is my first completely alone... I wanted to go to Paris... but since I will be completely on my own, I kinda prefered to go some place known to me... ok I KNOW I will freak out when I get down the airplane... or just on my way to the plane, but still... I want to accomplish this by myself!

Things that need to be done:
-Buy an adapter for my Ipod
-Buy a travel notebook
