In less than 24 hours (around 1 pm) I'll be hopping in a limo to the airport. Then we wait and wait and board the plane some time around 6 or 7 pm. Then it's a seven and a half hour flight plus 5 hour time change and I'll arrive in London Thursday morning. I'll be staying in London for 2 days. Thursday I'm finally going to meet my penpal Lottie with whom I've been corresponding for over 2 years. How cool is that? The whole family is going on this trip which has its drags and perks. The main perk is being able to travel around the city with Mary or WILL rather than with my folks, as my siblings have more similar interests than my parents.

Then we're visiting mom's penpal Jane in Cornwall and possibly checking out the world's largest tropical greenhouse (The Eden Project- look it up, it's wicked). Then we drive up to Scotland with stops on the way to the castle my GreatX3 Grandad was honored at with a royal castle key or summat. Then it's up to Glasgow and Edinburgh for more fun and family history, not to mention another penpal of mine and her friends. See, when I was in London last year with a writers group, a Scottish school was staying at the same dorm building. I met Chloe , Bella, and Marc. Marc's since moved to another school, but I've stayed in touch with Chloe and sort of (but not really) Bella. Hopefully, I'll be able to meet up with the pair of them in Edinburgh.

Okay.. now for more beach week pictures.

Lookig on this pic on my camera's screen, i thought there was a dog behind me.

Alice and Mickey waiting for us to eat at Sonic's.. we had fun with Mick's hair, a bit.


I uploaded all of that instead of packing.. eheh.. i'll get it done- i have all of today. I started packing some make-up, and ended up playing instead.

That hair gloss stuff really works. I've been using the red because I want my strawberry blonde hair to come back (the beach sun lightened it a lot). So far so good, plus it's super soft, so I highly recommend.. uhm.. John Frieda's luminous color glaze: radiant red.

I will not have my cell phone in my travels. I'll have it off and at home, so don't bother. You can email me though at britishbroccoli@gmail.com for any reason. I may have a bit o' internet access in my travels.

EDIT: Joel's dad took this picture before prom at Susie's house. It was the first time I saw his mother in months and I was crazy nervous, as you might be able to see (half standing/hiding behind joel, nervously flattening dress, big fake smile, scared eyes).

I aged it to make it purty. I realized I have to post this now because I probably can't later. Why at all? I'm going to be in the United Kingdom for our 6 month (half a year wtf) anniversary. So yeah.. celebrating it a bit early *throws streamers*
