msbelle, the good news is that it only affects a small percentage of people. I didn't go all whacko, no bad dreams and I was convinced I would. I didn't sleep on the flight, but then, I can't, really. Do you fly direct? Or to Jo'burg first? It's a looong flight. Bring plenty of entertainment/distraction. I seriously would have appreciated a layover, just to get out of the freaking metal tube.
Also good news? You aren't travelling because of a prime tourist attraction. You might actually find spare seats to sprawl on.
Um, I'm babbling, aren't I?
Am I the only one who found GA really depressing?
GA was depressing. But also kinda fun. And I'm glad I was watching it real time, because my TiVO cut off the very end. Eeee!
I think our flight is London - Amsterdam - Addis. We will be in sleeper seats, so I think I will be ok on room.
GA really depressing
not more than usual. I am sad
that Derek who I really liked is really such an ass.
I totally believe
that half his interest in Meredith is "beating" someone else.
It make me think that my taste
in dating will never be trustworthy.
msbelle, have you found out your definite flight dates yet?
Steal the freebie flight stuff! (SAA had awesome socks and eyecovers and stuff. I still use the little bag for travel makeup. Ooh and lemony handtowels.)
nope Lee, do not even know a month.
dad was pilot remember?

Der. Forgot. You are better prepared than I.
I had a sad visit to the pet store tonight. I hate this store because it's always got animals in cages and they never look happy, but it's the only place in town that carries the scratching boards my cats love, so I hold my nose and go in. Tonight there was a Newfoundland puppy in a pen that looked too small for him, and he'd pooped right in the middle of it. He'd walked in it at least once, so I'm guessing he didn't just poop that minute. Puppies should not look sad, and this one looked so sad. So a worker walks by and i say to her, "This Newfoudland has pooped in his pen." and she says to me really sarcastically, "Well, yeah, that does happen." So I pressed her until she let out a big sigh and went to clean it up. Just as I was leaving the store, she came over to the cash and said the dog had knocked her on her ass. Good for the dog.
If I didn't think that buying an animal from there would just encourage them to sell more, and if that dog wasn't $2200, and if he wouldn't grow to be size of my living room, I'd probably have bought that dog to get him out of there. (Newfoundlands are one of my most favourite breeds.) Last time I was there, I was on the verge of laying $750 for a pig that looked so lonely. I think I have to find an online, non-pet selling source for my scratch boards.
And I hope to G*d that using "Suddenly I See" (which was also used in The Devil Wears Prada) was done with tongue in cheek.
I don't know that I can help you there.
