Leaving

Tomorrow morning I get in a car and drive to Seattle for my flight to London. I've got a non-stop 9.5 hour flight, and will be arriving around noon on the 24th. I'm currently trying to stay up as late as possible in hopes that I'll just be able to sleep for the majority of the flight. It's 1:30am, and I still feel like I've got a ton of packing to finish.

The guys I'm going with are all in a local rock band called Jainism. They've been accepted to a music academy in London, and this is their trip to take placement tests, find apartments, etc. I just happened to have a bunch of paid time off at work that I need to burn by the end of April, so I decided to tag along. The group includes Matthias (singer, and my former Circuit City co-worker), Deon (bass, whose name I'm surely mispelling), Kyle (drummer), Seth (guitars) and Kyle & Seth's parents.

I'm actually staying a week longer than them, because I had that much PTO to burn. It's going to give me the opportunity to go to Wales and do some family history filming for my mom, who is putting together a very elaborate video.

Back to packing...
