Heavens Above!

Yet another mode of transport that I'm blogging from. If you haven't guessed from the title, I'm actually on an aeroplane. JAL flight JL402 to be exact, I believe it's a Boeing B777-300. The other day I was pleasently surprised to find out JAL offer broadband internet on selected flights. I looked at their timetables for scheduled internet flights and thought mine wouldn't have it, but I thought I'd ask anyway when I checked in. Just as an aside, I managed to sneak through check-in with nearly twice my allowed weight (I should only have 20kg, mine was 37! I think my main luggage was half a kilo under the maximum bag weight allowance of 32kg). So here I am now, all signed up with the in-flight Boeing internet called Connectix or something. The internet connection on the GNER train was a little tempromental, and slow. I'm hoping that since we're a lot closer to the satelitte here at 30000 feet that my pings and such will be much more acceptable

Not much to say really, spent my last week in London moving hotel rooms, buying presents, leaving them on trains, going to Lost Luggage offices, buying presents again. Of course, there was generous time spent on WoW too, but let's forget about that. If all goes to plan, I'll be home in time for a christmas lunch
