Leavin' on a Jet Plane

The day has finally arrived, I am leaving at 9am for London! I finished packing last night, but for whatever reason I could not fall asleep. I legitimately got not even five minutes of sleep, which should make today 1000000x more fun. Luckily I was able to sync my new ipod so I will have plenty of music to put me to sleep on the plane....JOKES I don't sleep in public.

Today I fly to London to spend two and a half days there with my cousins. I'm seeing the main touristy type places (& hopefully going shopping!). I leave London on Sunday and then land in Paris later that same night (yeah I didn't see the point in this either, but thanks orbitz). I'll spend about three hours in Paris at probably the most disgusting airport ever. We were here when my family went to Europe this summer and it smelled like a mix of French people, vomit, and garbage all rolled into one, so I really cannot wait to return.

Later that night I fly on this two-story plane (my dad said the top story used to be a lounge....how cool would that have been?!) from Paris overnight to Johannesburg. It is seriously a 12 hour flight, so I'm hoping there are some good movies playing because I really don't sleep in public places.

I have about four hours to kill in the Joburg airport before I finally fly to Port Elizabeth (finally arriving at 2:45 on January 17th). Sounds like a pain, right? Too bad coming home is worse, since I will be traveling for 30+hours straight.

Anyway I hope to update when I arrive, but none of my roommates & I got internet coupons before we left so that might take awhile.

On a positive note, I can't wait to get there & meet my roommates!
