So, I can haz ticket! It arrived yesterday! I am both thrilled and guilty as hell about taking 4 days off work RIGHT before the School production, and dropping people in it. But there's quite a lot of thrilled going on.

So...weather. I'm going to need tights/socks and a coat, right?

I wouldn't think so. Of course, maybe compared to Thailand, it might be a little chilly:)

But socks and/or tights, yeah, if I'm wearing skirts? Bare legs will be too cold?

(I'm sorry, I know this sounds stupid, but I've lost all perspective on climate by this point, and it's always a shock to the system going home at Christmas and adjusting to proper shoes and socks and things. And I don't have any cardigans or jackets or anything, except one light velvet one that I'll bring along - but it will clash fiercely with some things. Um. So - are we talking t-shirt weather? Or overcoats weather?)

Er...hard to say, Fay. Likely it'll be...around 22-25C daytime, a little cooler at night? But it could be warmer. A similar weekend, last summer (Pride weekend) it was about 35C in the daytime, which was crazy. BUT, it's not humid, which makes it way nicer in the shade and if there's a breeze. So totally unlike Thailand. :)

Didn't someone else say they'd take the other adjacent Monte Carlo?

It's either me or meara.

ND, insent.

Fay, I'm sure people will have Things for you to Borrow if need be.

I want to try and join people on Sunday for brunch --

not sure if I'll be barting ( which I will if just me ) or driving if DH comes along.

Or if suddenly I realize I have other things I must do Sunday

Should we try to make reservations?

Last I saw, Frankenbuddha, omnis_audis, and Laga are all planning to arrive Thursday.

My Thursday arrival is somewhat mitigated by almost being a seriously late PM arrival (11:30-ish). It's possibly mitigated the other way because I have a car rental, but if my flight's late, I'm not entirely sure of the ramifications to the car rental.

If all things are perfect, I have no problems with hanging out a bit and giving a few folks a lift to the hotel, but I'm going to be pretty knackered at that point even if everything goes on schedule.

I have requested time off from work, and fingers crossed that it actually gets approved. There are many factors here, including the fact that i will almost certainly have a shift change before the end of the next month but know not what my new days off will be!!!! I wait with baited breath to see what happens and if it gets approved or not. But if i were to still be on the same schedule, and have the days off approved, i would be able to drive up on Friday and return on Monday. Here's hoping!!
