Travel update

Shitty McShit its less than two weeks to till the great East Coast Adventure! The East Coast of America that is, not Norfolk and so forth . This is the trip I mentioned a couple of months ago in this post, Its a British Invasion. I have placed two big fuck off sized countdown widgets at the top and bottom of the blog, to remind myself that I really need to get things planned. You probably didn't need that pointing out, as they are rather large.

This trip is going to doubly splendiferous, because not only do I get to travel about for three weeks, I also get to meet lots of blogging chums! Ones that I have known since the time of  this blogs birth nearly two years ago, to relatively new blog chums that I have collected along the way.

Ponderings about trip.

1.Buy travel insurance, but which one? There are so many to chose from, I know I need a good policy, especially with the expense of American healthcare, should anything happen.
2.Cash or not to cash? The exchange rate keeps going up and down, I know I should get some currency before I travel, but not sure how much.
3.Pack, need suitcase, what is my baggage allowance?
4.Camera stuff, get an extra memory card here or there?
5. Passport, remember it, but I am not allowed to wear a bum bag to carry it.
6. Do they ask you were you staying etc, instead of visa stuff when you travel to the USA? I know I will be fingerprinted and digitally photograohed (grrr). Also there is now something called an ESTA.
7. I need some new clothes, buy them here or there?
8. Do I take Willy?
9. How to Persuade all the bloggers on my feed reader not to write anything during my trip, so I don't have shit loads to catch up on. Surely that's not that unreasonable? Take a break, you deserve it.
10. What about my mobile phone? I definitely need it but will I be hammered by charges?


The Trip
I have set up a trip tracker page, which I will update with more info and photographs when I can. The widget is on the side bar for now, but I will move it to a more prominent place once I am travelling. Check it out so you can see exactly where I am going and when I am going to be in those places. Offer recommendations of places to see if you have any, that would be cool.
See the trip tracker page  here.
If there is anyone else that wants to meet up, let me know! I don't want to get back home and get comments like 'Oh I was only ten minutes away', that would piss me off. By piss me off, I mean that it would be a great disappointment, I mean who wouldn't want to meet up with me?
(unless you are weird/loony/evil then I wouldn't want to meet up with you anyways, so there).

My blogging is going to very sporadic/shitty during the next few weeks.
