Half Way There...

Emily is on her way to London right now.  She should be there in another couple of hours.  I'll be going tomorrow, hopefully.  It's a weird cross between gambling and desperation to be flying stand-by for the first time.  I'm very lucky to have a sister who works for the airline and was able to give me the opportunity to spend less money on flights and more on fun in Europe.  Still, I'm feeling a bit nervous while more people get on the flight that I'm supposed to take, and I fall down the priority list.  It's looking more and more like I might end up a day donating a day of Europe to Charlotte.  I imagine the excitement will be a bit altered, all those rocking chairs, instead of pub chairs.  Still, when I get to London I'll be working and I can do that in Charlotte as well as London.  Look for me at Chilies, or some other airport place that isn't quite where I want to be, but instead, a means to an end.  All in all, I'm still coming out ahead.  Just another day away from Emily.

On the other hand, I might get on the plane.  That would be extraordinary.  I'll stay positive as there is nothing else I can really do, oh yeah - except keep watching Kick Ass with Wally.... yes, my time is clearly precious.  Sorry for no pictures yet.

And.... We're on the go again!

We're getting ready to go again - this time across the Atlantic to London first.  We'll be checking in here (both of us) and we're armed with a new camera.  Emily leaves today and hopefully, I'll follow along tomorrow.  Anxiety might be a little high, but so is the excitement.  More to come!
