Sometimes you are at the airport....

...all day. Well, more than a day actually. Various airports, planes, terminals, in 3 countries. Right now, we are waiting in Chicago for our flight to El Paso.

We left the house at 2am Colchester time, and we are scheduled to get to El Paso at midnight Mountain Time. So that is a total of 29 hours that went something like this: Taxi to Colchester bus station(10 mins) > Coach to London Heathrow Airport(about 2.5 hours) > Baggage Check in, Passport check, Security(2 hours), Plane to Madrid(2 hours) > Passport Check, Security(1hr), Plane to Chicago(9hrs) > Passport Check, Pick up baggage again, go through customs, go through US security(the most intensive!), wait for El Paso plane(8 hours) > Plane to El Paso(3 hours)*...

*times are approximate so yeah....we will be relieved to finally get there!

Sometimes you take a mini tour of the world...

...to get to your destination. We start in Colchester:

Take a coach to London:

Then a plane to Madrid:

Then switch planes to get to Chicago:

Wait in Chicago 8 hours, to then get on a plane to El Paso:

Because we miss you all THAT much! lol On serious note, it would be nice to see more than just the insides of planes and airports on the way. But whatever :) See you all soon!!

Sometimes you clean...

...and then work 4 hours. During your lunch, go to library to print coach tickets to airport, sell TV, donate some stuff to the charity shop. Then work 4 more hours. And then clean some more.

Not our actual cleaning products, or floor. So yeah, not our pic.

Eat some cupcakes. Continue cleaning. Almost done. Must continue...at least we can see the finish line. It looks like the most successful house evacuation so far. So unless tragedy strikes, this shouldn't be so bad.

Sometimes you see the seven sisters...

...the Pleiades I mean. Check them out:

They don't look this awesome through binoculars, but it is still a majestic sight!

Tonight is a very clear night, which is rare here in England. Usually, it is cloudy. And I got some nice views of Jupiter and of the Pleiades, with my binoculars, which was awesome. I showed them to Geli too. This was in the "garden" at the house.

And well, other than that, I just worked again, I can't say I missed it. And also cleaned the house most of the time I wasn't working. So it was really really cool to see Jupiter and the Pleiades before calling it a night :)

Sometimes you are in Ghent...

...Random decision almost. But I am really glad we decided to take a train to Ghent, cuz it was incredibly impressive!! And now, 1 more day to see the rest of Brussels! w00t!

Sometimes you are in Bruges...

and it is awesome!!! It truly is a fairy tale town! I am also extremely tired, so that is all. Good night!

Sometimes you are in Belgium...

We can't talk to anybody, it sucks. And we just freeze when somebody talks to us. We must look so ridiculous! It's been a crazy day! Other than the language barrier and a pee incident, it has been brilliant! I'm dead and we are going to Bruges tomorrow, so good night!

Sometimes there is chaos at the house...

...because we're trying to move out of the country. And there's a trip to Belgium right in the middle of that. Yeah, awesome planning huh?! Either of those is hectic on it's own. So we decided to kick it up a notch, and do both in the same week.

I still find this flyer incredibly amusing. So here is another page:

For $2500 you can get an 810MB Hard Drive, a whopping 8MB RAM, AND a brutal 11" Display!!

And also, I know these news companies have a whole library of images at their disposal. So I think someone hates Torrado. Choosing this pic for this article was totally uncalled for(but funny!):

Sometimes old storeflyers are like time capsules...

...check out this flyer from September 1996!

Isn't it awesome?! And hilarious?!

16 MB RAM!
A MASSIVE 2GB HD!!
For just 2 grand!! hahaha

Sometimes you sign things in MS Paint...

..and it looks the same as your real signature. Apparently my handwriting is so bad, that I can sign things just as well with a mouse in MS paint.

That is exactly what my actual signature looks like! haha I had to sign some paperwork for the HR department, since I am being re-hired at work. And I didn't want to print, sign, and scan so I could send it back. So I decided to take screenshots of the documents, then "sign" them in paint, print to the CutePDF writer, and send them the PDFs...it worked. I also took a picture of a check(since we don't have a scanner), and wrote "VOID" on it in paint, since they needed a copy of a voided check for the direct deposit...so yeah, weird work around, but no paper was wasted and I didn't have to go to the library! w00t!

And I leave you with a black and white version of a picture I took in Bath. It was a mall....
