I've been preparing for my trip, I've already got quite a few iPad apps and loads of movies all ready and waiting for it! I also have loads of new clothes and things too, which is awesome!
Just over a week to go now and I still can't wait. Looking forward to having a hotel room all to myself (with the occasional visit from Myriam of course!) Will I have to register her as a guest when I book in? I didn't last time... This time however I'm most CERTAINLY having a fridge in my room!
I just bought Avatar off iTunes as it was virtually the same price as the DVD and saves me transcoding it! Myriam wants to watch the film and I thought it was pretty good, so it's worth it!
Hopefully this weekend I can start packing!

Preparations.
On my to do list:
1. Get hair highlighted (I do it every year, adding in blonde highlights)
2. Clean room (Jesus H. Christ my room looks like a bomb went off)
3. Finish school (not long now!)
4. Not go crazy (that might be a tall order).
Hope I can get it all done on time!

9 Days To Sam!
SO I've been not so subtly hint hinted at to "POST MOAR". :P
9 days until I see Sam again, and I can't believe where the time went. What the hell? It was only a few months ago I was wishing that May would hurry the hell up and get here and...it's almost here. I can't wait to have him here though.
I'm a bit apprehensive of Dad being an asshole-I plan to spend the first weekend with Sam (as I said in my last post, we have a lot of catching up to do...) but of course Dad being Dad I'm half expecting him to throw a FIT. So I won't tell him until I'm almost out the doo "Oh BTW Dad I'm spending the night with Sam kthxbai!"
Bedtime, I am quite tired. This midterm for modernism is the last thing I want to do, really. I also need to find a section of my thesis to read in front of the school. *gulp*.

10 days!
Ahhh, I'm getting really excited now! I've got a blogging app all ready for my iPad, so I can blog from anywhere! I can't wait to be there, it's going to be great.
I'm going to have to start packing soon. I have my socks ready (all new), camera kit, etc; they just need to go into my travel case! I'm also going to actually unpack this time and use the wardrobe in the hotel room!
I can't wait, I'm so excited!

Two weeks in England
That's all I have left before I fly out! iPad is sorted, it's waiting with a rather nice case, in Myriam's cupboard - heck, by the time I get it it might even have a layer of dust on the box! Blimey!
I really hope that there's no more issues with the planes these next two weeks - hopefully they should've ferried most of the stranded people back and I should be good to go! Virgin Atlantic has been fantastic in the past, so I'm certain this time will be no exception!
This time in two weeks I'll be settling into my hotel room, with the tv on and probably writing a blog post from my iPad, who knows! But I know one thing, I REALLY, REALLY can't wait!
I can't believe it's only two weeks to go! :) :)

Volcanoes!
So, there's a volcano which has erupted in Iceland and its ash cloud has managed to shut the UK airspace. I am wondering if I will actually get to go to America this time round, I really, really don't want to miss Myriam's graduation - but obviously I'll have no choice if the Icelandic terror hasn't subsided in time!
Why has Iceland caused us so much horror in the last few months? First their banks all drop now their volcanoes?! Something says to me that Iceland has a hidden agenda going on, do they want to destroy the world...?
Anything can happen in the next three weeks, I know, and hopefully the ash cloud will move by the weekend (as the BBC are suggesting) and I also hope Myriam gets my iPad soon, according to the tracker it has just left Shenzhen, meaning it's on it's way across the Pacific Ocean toward LAX then possibly another flight to NH then out for delivery Friday! I just hope I can trust FedEx with $700...
While on the iPad subject I am a little concerned that Myriam's dad and/or brother might not treat it with respect when it arrives just because its mine. I know I probably have nothing to worry about, but the thought is there and by breaking $700 of computer BEFORE I've even got it is a sure fire way of pissing me right off.
Still, I'm more concerned about volcanoes and how inappropriate the timing of it is! Stupid thing, why now?!

Three Weeks!
In exactly 3 weeks I'll be in the air above the Atlantic Ocean, on a MASSIVE piece of metal travelling at 500mph (scary!) I'll be hurtling toward seeing Myriam again and getting my iPad (but I'm more looking forward to seeing Myriam!) I honestly can't wait!
I wonder what I'll be doing the first day I'm there, I'm hoping for a nice quiet day at the hotel or out and about if it's nice! I don't want anything too strenuous or exhausting on the first day - I'd like to relax and play with my toy, maybe play with Myriam a bit too as we have over a year of catching up to do! I'd like to snuggle up in the hotel and watch a movie or two after a nice long lay in I think!
It's almost frustrating waiting at the moment, but next friday it'll be payday and I can get the last of my spending money (hopefully)! I have a few hospital/doctors appointments to go to before I fly out, but nothing terribly exciting! I just hope that volcanic ash cloud moves in time!

Blimey, spending money!
Even after giving Myriam $700 for my "shiny thing" (as she calls it) I still have $1159.46 spending money - not bad! I put £576 on my travel money card which gave me $850 at the current (rubbish) exchange rate! I plan to get some more from my pay at the end of the month (as much as I can) - the 23rd will be two weeks before I go away, so I should have plenty of time to get some more spending money! Its better to have too much money than too little, right? Money is not one of the things I normally worry about - but I seem to when I'm in America, weird!
I don't really see any 'big' purchases (other than the $700 one I've got Myriam buying for me and a graduation present for Myriam which should be about $250), plus I have nothing to 'get' - I won't be buying DVDs or anything like that this time, so I think $1300 will be more than enough for two weeks! Who knows, I might win something at the casino (doubtful, but you never know!) Imagine that, coming back with more money than I started with, hahaha!
I've also bought some more storage for my Picasa account - it's $5 a year for an extra 20GB of storage, which is a fantastic deal as I'm always using Picasa!
Knowing that I'm going to be there in 4 weeks time is incredibly exciting, I really can't wait at all and hopefully Myriam will be able to stay over on the first weekend as that's usually the loneliest time for me.
I'm going to have to start packing soon!

The Visit-2010!
God, I can't wait to have Sam here again-we have a lot of catching up to do. I also can't wait to graduate. Which also reminds me-people need tickets! Eeek! I need to buy them ASAP or else there won't be any!
I will miss university, I know this with every bit of myself-but for now, I don't want to think about it. I just want to get it done and over with and graduate whatever cum laude and bask in the glow of success.
So. I've been paypaled $700 by Sam's mum (and forced to keep a secret :-) ), and I have a mission-to purchase a 64 GB ipad and hold on to it for four more weeks. Can I do that, sure. Can I do that without resisting the opportunity to taunt Sam by saying "Oooh, you have four more weeks to wait for these two beauties, I have your ipad here! Nyah nyah nyah!"...obviously, hell no.
So I have a list of things I need to purchase for Sam morning of May 8, then do nothing but relax and enjoy. ^_^
I'm excited!

Updated for 2010!
So, it's exactly 1 month until I am in America again. This time it's for Myriam's graduation from SNHU - you only graduate once and I'd like to be there to see it! This time I think it's going to be more relaxed and more of a holiday for us both. I do hope Myriam gets to stay at the hotel this time round to make it more of a holiday for her too!
Myriam, as amazing as she is, will be picking up my 'major purchase' for this trip before I get there, so there's no running about or stress trying to get one/disappointment/etc! Meaning I'll have it from day one and I hope that I can use it a lot when I'm there! Thank god for paypal! I also think that it'll cost less sending Myriam the $700 than what it'll cost when it comes out here in the UK!
Anyway, I'm really, really excited about going to America again, but I'm not so excited about the flight - hopefully the movies will take my mind off the shaking and turbulence (if there is any!) :)
