15 days left and counting...
Flights are booked! As of Friday I can now get to Spain and back from Charleston!
I finish at Delphi on Thursday the 30th of April. Then after rushing back to Rowlands and putting the finishing touches on my packing I leave Gatwick on the 1st of May at 10:40. Shame I have a 4 hour lay over in Madrid, but I suppose it is a chance for me to brush up on my Spanish. I'll eventually get to Vigo at 18:50, so hopefully be on Jolie Brise by 19:30!
On the way back, I'll leave Europa on the 27th of June and fly up to Philladelphia, it would give me a chance to see Michal Jane, have a proper shower and sleep in a real bed for the first time in 2 months! I'll leave on the night flight back to England on the Sunday evening (the 28th) and land in Heathrow at 06:20... Early.... I know!
To make it worse it is going to be a mad dash to clear the airport, and get back to Stroud. A speedy shower, and quick change later and I will be back at Delphi for the 13:00 departmental meeting....
So overall a manic 2 weeks awaits. I've had my final invoices through for the actual sailing part...
Tecla is paid for in full (all €2633 of it), I have put a £200 deposit on Jolie Brise with the outstanding £500 due asap. Today I thankfully got the invoice from Europa (€1295), which I have to pay asap.
However, just to make things even BETTER... I got a Trojan Virus on my work computer resulting in me having to cancel my online banking just incase it got hacked! Brilliant really, as I now have to re-apply which will take heaven knows how long.
But underlying all this is the sheer excitement of knowing that in 15 days time I'll be onboard Jolie Brise ready to embark on the journey of a lifetime!
Ciao for now!
