London - Here I Come!

Decision made, tickets bought, leave applied, money to be changed, bags to pack and the countdown shall begin!

So yea, I made up my mind last night while I was tossing and turning in bed. For some reason I couldn't sleep, I guess its the freaking heat. Woke up at four, checked for tickets online, tried to get the best connecting flights and last minute deals. I should so not make travel plans at the eleventh hours. Tickets cost a bomb!

I'm flying off this Friday evening for the good entire February. I can't wait to runaway from everything and everyone here. I'm just so tired of fixing things on a daily basis and reporting to a manager who has the attention span of less than a five year old.

The weather in the UK looks welcoming with very low temperatures forecasted with a possible snow. Like how cool would that be? Snow on the day I land. It would be a nice payback for all the crappy Christmas I spent there without any snow. I'm only thinking of the thermal shock that I'm going to subject myself to; I guess it'll be a couple of days of frozen nipples. I'm also looking forward to Costa's coffee, I could finally get off Starbucks and Coffee Bean.

The sight of Bond St is already appearing in my eyes, the one street that makes me a happy boy but my wallet to cry. Harrods is so inviting as well. 

Aaargh! The temptations of retail therapy. Boy, am I gonna come back broke. And I love the local pubs too, some with their own brewery. Gosh, I'm beginning to drool already.

I'm planning for a road trip either with my brother or my friends, depends who is willing to go crazy with me. I just hope that the weather doesn't get fucked up too bad. I could still tolerate until -5, but not any lower. Since I do intend to go to Lake District  and Snowdonia national park in Northern Wales as well, what better way to move around then to splash some good dosh on a nice ride. This is what I've arranged for as my ride while I'm there and I so can't wait to get my hands behind the wheels...Woohoo!

On the other hand, despite all the excitement of going over and spending time with my brother and friends, a part of me does feel a little unhappy. 

This was the last place Jace and I spent Christmas back in 2009 together and it was the last time I met him as well. I just hope that old memories don't surface as it would not be pleasant to deal with and I don't want to think of him or the good times we had together. All the physical evidence have been destroyed but the thoughts still linger...
