Re: The 'Bon Voyage' Thread! - Flight Tracker!
 

1 week till D-day.

Holy sheeeeeeeeeeet !!! :eek:

Re: The 'Bon Voyage' Thread! - Flight Tracker!
 

Jen where are you heading from, and where is your ultimate destination, I am from the East Midlands, usually fly to Brum but got a good deal in the london, but I understand if you can't say, have a very safe and happy flight.

Re: The 'Bon Voyage' Thread! - Flight Tracker!
 

No, I don't mind at all--I'm heading to Lincoln from Northern NJ. Not sure if we'll ultimately end up staying there as the job market isn't great but I'm going to live with my parents for a while first. Where abouts are you heading in the Midlands?

We're doing opposites on the flights, lol--I typically fly into London but this time we thought we'd see if the drive was any shorter from Brum.

Re: The 'Bon Voyage' Thread! - Flight Tracker!
 

So jen must be home in Lincoln now!!

Jen I am heading to Leicester.
3 more sleeps.......

Re: The 'Bon Voyage' Thread! - Flight Tracker!
 

Welcome Home Jen!!!

Re: The 'Bon Voyage' Thread! - Flight Tracker!
 

Goodluck to all flying home this week. Hope Charleygirl doesnt get her flight delayed with all the bad weather. She seems to be flying out in the nick of time.

Re: The 'Bon Voyage' Thread! - Flight Tracker!
 

Yes TT you have had an earthquake and are now facing a tornado/hurricane!! :ohmy:

Batten down the hatches me dear!! :lol:

Re: The 'Bon Voyage' Thread! - Flight Tracker!

Re: The 'Bon Voyage' Thread! - Flight Tracker!
 

Welcome home Jenn - hope you have your brolly handy cos it looks like you'll need it this weekend!

Good luck Charley, have a safe trip, won't be long now!:thumbsup:

Re: The 'Bon Voyage' Thread! - Flight Tracker!
 

OMG I am getting so excited nervous, got butterflies but I am almost ready now....and it seems like my 3 children and one of their friends are coming to see me off.........:unsure:

Re: The 'Bon Voyage' Thread! - Flight Tracker!
 

Don't forget the Kleenex! Your children are very sweet to come and see you off! Even though they don't want you to leave, they are there for you. :wub:

Re: The 'Bon Voyage' Thread! - Flight Tracker!
 

Oh what lovely kids they are. You must be a great mum.

How exciting! I can't believe it's finally here for you. Those butterflies mean you're alive :D (easy for me to say I know). But just remember, nothing is irreversible and this is your time to figure out what you want. Good for you being brave enough to carpe diem!

Re: The 'Bon Voyage' Thread! - Flight Tracker!
 

Trust me, I knoq how hard it is to leave your kids, I did the same when I moved to the USA, but they now tell us how proud they are of us for following a dream. Mind you, our dream is over and we fly back on Sept 9th. Nothing need be for ever Charley, good luck and keep us posted :thumbsup:

Re: The 'Bon Voyage' Thread! - Flight Tracker!
 

best wishes Charleygirl, enjoy the ride

Re: The 'Bon Voyage' Thread! - Flight Tracker!
 

So glad the kids are going to see you off, have a safe trip & see you on this side :thumbsup:

Re: The 'Bon Voyage' Thread! - Flight Tracker!
 

Last sleep tonight Charleygirl, oh I do hope it all goes well for you and your flight is not affected by Hurricane Irene. :ohmy::o:sneaky:

Re: The 'Bon Voyage' Thread! - Flight Tracker!
 

Hi everyone, almost packed now, just my carry on to finish off, stupid isnt it that you can carry on 21kgs and yet checked in luggage can only be 23kgs, just had to take 5kgs of stuff out of one...

My children and I are all going out to dinner tonight, sigh.
flight is still on time etc...luckily I leave before the wind and rain hits.
will post over on 50s and 60s thread later tonight.

Re: The 'Bon Voyage' Thread! - Flight Tracker!
 

Well you betta had, as we have our Blackpool trip to look forward to, shall we stay in a grotty B and B?? And do England as only like touristas do with a little smirk and a shrug. :lol:

Re: The 'Bon Voyage' Thread! - Flight Tracker!
 

Checked in and waiting to board, all ontime.
See you all on the other side.

Re: The 'Bon Voyage' Thread! - Flight Tracker!
 

I'll give you a wave as you fly over. :thumbsup:

Re: The 'Bon Voyage' Thread! - Flight Tracker!
 

I was probably in the shower when she flew over.:) Have a great flight.

Re: The 'Bon Voyage' Thread! - Flight Tracker!
 

Looks like Charleygirl's flight might be a little early, she's more than half way here:)

Re: The 'Bon Voyage' Thread! - Flight Tracker!
 

Been home an hour and had Pork Pie, Walkers crisps and lovely ham sandwich with proper bread and butter.
BA were great...flight was full but everything went well.
Will post tomorrow, thanks for the thoughts every one.

Re: The 'Bon Voyage' Thread! - Flight Tracker!

Welcome home, enjoy yourself and take each day as it comes. Best wishes

Re: The 'Bon Voyage' Thread! - Flight Tracker!
 

How's it going for you so far?

The biggest PITA for me so far is losing my NI number. Takes forever to get it sent to you in the post and my hands are tied until then. Luckily a friend has given me a wee job in the meantime to fill the gap. I'll be taking notes on a court case at the Old Bailey next week thank goodness. Was getting stir crazy :(. Other than that I'm ecstatic to be home!!

Re: The 'Bon Voyage' Thread! - Flight Tracker!
 

Can the DHSS not just give you it over the phone? My Dad called them from Canada, provided them with his last UK address & within minutes they called him back having found his number in the system.

Re: The 'Bon Voyage' Thread! - Flight Tracker!
 

I just went into the Jobcentre and gave them my last address in England (1986) and voila........my number popped up on their computer screen. :thumbsup:

Re: The 'Bon Voyage' Thread! - Flight Tracker!
 

Tried calling, tried the job centre and was given a number to ring. They sent me a form (took 10 working days to arrive) which I've sent back and then I have to wait another 2 weeks for the number. Silly thing is that I remember all but 2 of the digits. I could kick myself right now!

I may try another job centre tomorrow. Maybe I'll have better luck. Thanks guys!

Re: The 'Bon Voyage' Thread! - Flight Tracker!
 

I'll see if I can get you a number, my Dad, who still lives in Canada, has recently had to contact the office in Newcastle with regard to his pension. They've always been very helpful.
