Vrooooooooooooooooooooooooooooommmmm.

I promise to update tomorrow, jetlagged rambling and all.

Have a safe and fun trip! That is looking fabulous (leaving the country) right about now. Make Mr. Jenner lend you his coat if you get too cold.

It isn't too cold. Though the house is a bit large so it is a bit drafty. I stay warm by the fire.

Bon voyage! (But not in that 'plane: you'll be in a 747, right?)

[identity profile] gfrancie.livejournal.com 2004-12-22 02:47 pm (UTC)(link)
That is a 747 silly. Yes we were in a 747. Usually about half-way through the flight I curse and curse the lack of space in coach.

::smacks forehead:: I didn't notice the bulge (as the actress said to the bishop).

[identity profile] gfrancie.livejournal.com 2004-12-22 03:13 pm (UTC)(link)
The bulge was slightly obscured.

I keep having dreams about being in world traveler plus. I can't even let myself think about world traveler club.
I just want something to put my feet up on without losing the blood in my legs. You can't even stand up straight in coach.

I despise people who travel in the forward cabins. I detest them roundly. By the end of the flight I am ready to massacre them.

And some of them have the nerve to complain how little sleep they got!

The gall!

I find a good method to make the journey go faster is:
1) Read magazines until the meal arrives
2) Drink several bottles of wine before and during the meal
3) Put on headphones with MP3 player
4) Put neck cushion on
5) Put blanket around self and *over head* (so shutting out light)
6) Snore loudly for 9 hours

It works for me, anyway. Of course on your journey back you may have the Indian Curry with Naan Bread which is so delicious it almost makes the journey worthwhile.

Someday I may kill someone if they say they had trouble sleeping in the forward cabins.

1.I read and read and read and read. I also enjoy watching a few of the fine comedies they show.
2.Oy...such a bad idea. if I touch booze or caffeine on the plane I look like I just walked through the Sahara.
3.often helps.
4.I keep meaning to get one. *puts that on her list of things to do*
5. The problem with the blanket thing is they like to come around and wake you up to see if you have your seatbelt on.
6. I do not snore.

I usually just try and relax and zone out on the movies.

Up Up and Away.

Happy Christmas to you both from the three Boddington Pints.
Dreaming about Chritsmas in England and afternoon country

Happy Christmas to you as well. Have three pints!

::waves at you way up there in the sky::

[identity profile] kitaryufinn.livejournal.com 2004-12-22 07:00 am (UTC)(link)
Did you make that sound when you took off? If not, I recommend you shouting, "VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" as you lif off on the way back. Children will love you.

Stewardesses might give you extra alcohol to keep you sedated. Win win I say.

[identity profile] gfrancie.livejournal.com 2004-12-22 02:59 pm (UTC)(link)
I didn't yell vrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrooooooooooooooooooooommmmmmm this time. One time we were on a plane and a small child behind me did that. Hilarious stuff.

[identity profile] kitaryufinn.livejournal.com 2004-12-22 07:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Did you applaud? One must reinforce this sort of behavior. I'd pay extra money if the pilot did that during take off over the speakers.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please take you seat. Crew prepare for take off.... VRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!" *krch*

If you do, please be so kind as to share the story. Take pictures if you can. Pictures help maintain the narrative thread. If you lose the narrative thread, Martin Scorsese will make you do it over again.

I will have to be well lubricated ...

Hire a midget as an assistant. You can dress them as an alcohol carrying elf in lederhosen with a bullhorn for the moment of liftoff.

I could also wear a large carrot on my head and periodically go "Neeep!" while scratching my eyebrows.

People might think you're the long lost teletubbie, I'd avoid that confusion at all costs if I were you. You have no idea what a two year old might try to stick up an orifice.

[identity profile] cogshiftingman.livejournal.com 2004-12-24 07:07 am (UTC)(link)
Well, that makes my eyes water just thinking about it.

[identity profile] gfrancie.livejournal.com 2004-12-24 09:53 am (UTC)(link)
why don't you two kids just get married already.

[identity profile] kitaryufinn.livejournal.com 2004-12-24 04:46 pm (UTC)(link)
It's been discussed, but who changes their name, and what's to be done with the credenza?!?!?!?
