When Large things appear small and small ones large

Did you arrive here by clicking on the photograph on my Over 7 Seas Blog?

Ahhh.. Welcome. I will post daily once I reach San Francisco in just 8 days. The first post should be live on the 31st of October. Halloween.. Bear in mind that I will be in a different time zone from you, I am time traveling effectively into the past, 8 hours ago. So if anything special happens that I should know about you can break the time barrier by simply giving me a call, sending me an email (providing that you are privy to such classified information, or comment on this or any future post below.) 

Your comments can help me build a better journal which in return mean an irresistible experience for you. If you have regular access to the internet then maybe add me to your blog-roll, follow this journal by selecting one of the options to the right of this text.. I am already planning a welcome everybody to this blog 'give-away'. Just a tiny little something to get started.. So check in once in a while and let me know that you are here. The more feedback and greetings you post the better. Let's go on this journey!!

This journey is starting to feel increasingly real... I have just purchased my travel insurance.

Soon I shall touch Golden Gate Bridge and cycle from Mission to Dolores Park for a morning Yoga Practice. (Oh how optimistic.. will I really do this in the foggy, chilly San Francisco, still sleepy pre-sunrise, mornings? - well.. Why not? But I may look out for some thermals to help the internal fires firing up on the way to the park. Curiously I can already picture the post practice juice in the nearby Cafe so much easier than the practice itself, now why would that be..??)

P.s. shhhhhhhhhhh

Jason doesn't know when I'm coming yet, so please NO facebook posts until October 31st. I am arriving 3 days before he expects me and he will be meeting me for a candlelit supper, of course he won't know that it will be me whom he will have the supper with... I'm setting him up with his uncle or old neighbor, depending on who is game to play along! 

one step closer to San Francisco

At last I finally purchased my flight tickets! All was well until the moment I was prompted to select my return flight, the heart undertook a distinct thud landing. Heavy feelings predicting the way we both will feel as I step through security, leaving the other half behind in America while I board the plane to England. I just know how it will feel for sunny J. to sit on the public transport without me and I won't feel much happier flying in the wrong direction..

So it took me an infinitely long time to arrange my flights and select which felt like they might be good dates. Difficult. And right at the end United Airlines didn't accept Paypal after all. I did all this research and found their page where they are so proud of offering paypal payment options. Nonsense. It was nowhere to be found when I looked for it. So my poor squealing credit card had to stand in once more.

Now I have my ticket. Finally there is a clear schedule! I will relax as soon as I have booked my travel insurance. The silliest things have the power to stop one from flying. So I would like to be prepared just in case. And taking a trip to America without travel insurance would be pure madness anyway.
