My inheritence is FINALLY coming through in April and this seems like a pretty worthy trip to spend some of it on.

If anyone has suggestions on the best airline for Canada->England flights I would appreciate it. I've never planned a solo trip abroad... so exciting and nerve wracking!

This deserves a 'Hell yeah!!'
When you say best airline, do you mean cheapest, or least likely to ditch you somewhere in the arctic circle?

Cheapest without ditching me in the arctic. I'm also only planning on bringing a carry-on so no worries about airlines that tend to lose luggage.

WOOHOO! Awesomeness, it would be great to see you!

Virgin Atlantic are a good company to fly with though probably more expensive than Air Canada or maybe BA... Shops around with the big airlines and see what you can find!

I'm in, should be a bit easier getting a train there this time rather than flying from holland.

You got a lift from Manchester last time you whippersnapper and you didn't have the magical mystery tour of a return journey that Brood had to endure.

Depends on whether the train services were charging more for my beard or not. For the moment though, I'm tentatively in. Much like I was with your mother last night.

Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

Oh, that was fun. Still, at least I had Monty's defiant ashes innings to distract me from the sleeping and the puking. Mind you, still appreciated the lift though!!

@Mezla - of course, I would do it for free, just for you :veryangry:

yes but I had to fly from Holland first! I'm torn between being grateful I missed the magical mystery tour experience, and sad that I missed the chance to gloat from my alcohol free moral superiority :veryangry:

There was no gloating. Only mind-numbing terror as we sped along the motorway half asleep :veryangry:

I will be driving this time, can pick people up from places vaguely on route like Illy if he can get himself to Bath again or something... Note, Bristol Parkway is easier to make it to then Bath, cos the centre of Bath is awful to get around... :veryangry:

should be able to make it, might reign in the drinking a little on the second day given my glass thieving attempts last year.

put me down as a most likely, can make it a trip to london town to see my sister as well, same as last year, so expect a heavy hangover to be in evidence once more

Unless something unforeseeable happens at work, count me in! :veryangry:

(And even if something unforeseeable DOES happen at work... still count me in. What the hell do I have my poodles for...?

The problem with people who have no vices is that generally you can be pretty sure they're going to have some pretty annoying virtues.

I want to. So much.

Ano, if you need any tips or advice on the Brit trip, PM me. I'm in the know! Air Transat was the airline I used to get to the UK and it was dirt cheap compared to Air Canada.

In it to win it. And this time I can definitely make it... Probably...

If an opinion contrary to your own makes you angry, that is a sign that you are subconsciously aware of having no good reason for thinking as you do. If some one maintains that two and two are five, or that Iceland is on the equator, you feel pity rather than anger, unless you know so little of arithmetic or geography that his opinion shakes your own contrary conviction. … So whenever you find yourself getting angry about a difference of opinion, be on your guard; you will probably find, on examination, that your belief is going beyond what the evidence warrants.
