And it starts with a disaster

Okay folks, my internet connection on the ship is damn expensive, so the next 12 days are going to be sparce quick posts.

We started the trip by having Zoom airlines declaring bankrupcy the night before we left. We didn't find out until five hours before we were SUPPOSED to be in the air. So yikes. But clearly we made it. We ended up on Northwestern Airlines and they actually had quite a lovely flight. We flew Vancouver-Seattle-London then took the bus to Southampton.

Southampton was a quaint city but we didnt' get to see much. I had a donair from a fish and chip / falaffel house for dinner. Our taxi driver today informed me that I missed the birthplace of Jane Austin, which is sad. She was an awesome taxi driver.

Well that's all for now. Like I said, damn expensive... Love you all!

Aw no Jane for you. That is sad. Fish and chips / falafle house? That like... totally accomodates everyone you're with.

I still dont fucking know what a falafel is.

When you said your airline had gone bankrupt the night before I laughed out loud and then I felt bad- it musta been a lot less funny for you.

Oh man, the way those sentences are constructed, both times I've read them, it makes it seem like Jane Austen was a great taxi driver. I laugh in general when I read that.

Aww I wish Jane Austin were my taxi driver. That would be so cool!

And yeah, it wasn't so funny at the time Jenn, but I totally know I'll laugh about it. Sometime... later. lol.

By the way, somewhere off the coast of france right now and my connection is crap. I have a post ready to post though!

Same thought I had on Jane Austen's mad taxi driving skills. Hope you've got your return planned on some other carrier already.
