I can't believe the shipmeet is only 5 days away, I'm so excited!! Wish I was off every day this week too ! Gotta run out and pick Dave up from the station but after that I plan on being here aallllll day
Happy Easter Woohoos
It's all so casual when we arrange these things, then suddenly it's here and we're all bouncing with excitement
No idea how I'm going to keep my feet on the ground during the week leading up to SE

Jumble and Sarai, you can usually check in and choose your seats online 24 hours before. If you do that, then the morning of the flight will be far less stressful, and also I've found that with online check-in now then if you do leave it until you get to the airport then all the good seats have gone already. And my tips for long haul flights - flight socks (really do make a difference) and lots of water!sigpic

Also I didn't mind where I sat in the plane(front or back) because it is big enough that bathrooms are nearby The only annoying thing was for me with my window seat that I had to crawl over people everytime I wanted to get something....
In the end it's just what you prefer!
Happy Easter Everyone

Edit: Oh, and try and sit on the right-hand side of the plane going and left-hand side coming back, because then your window looks north. If you have a south-facing window you get the sun in your eyes the whole way when you look outsigpic

Originally posted by josiane View PostOn the flight over you should be able to see a lot, particularly coming down over Canada. Coming back as Jann says the blinds will be down as it'll be 'night'. I'd say the best seats are right at the back where there's 2 seats by the windows on either side, rather than 3 because the plane narrows. You get a bit more room and then also neither of you have to disturb anyone when you get up to go to the loo, or be disturbed yourself (other than by each other!).

All this talking about it is making it all seem so real
I'mreallyreallygoingtoCanadaandI'mreallyreallyreallygoingtomeetMartin
It's all very well knowing we're going, and counting down the days, but talking about the actual arrangements is really bringing it home to me that WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING!!!!!!
OMG!!!!
Thanks for your input Jann
All you world travellers must be laughing at me

It's not the journey so much (I'm not worried half as much now that you'll be there), it's what happens when we get there.
I need to go and lie down
Where are all the other WooHoos today? Sitting round the campfire munching chocolate?
