Knock On Wood

So, in order to jynx myself I've decided to make my first blogspot post!

I only have two more days until my trip begins! I have a bit of a challenge awaiting my arrival across the big pond... making my bus! Kiri has been so generous as to open up her home for my first week in England! In order to make it to her family-home in New Castle I have to make the megabus. The challenge: getting through customs and taxi-ing it to the bus station (which is 10 miles away from the airport) in one hour. Can I do it???  Time and a post will tell!

My travel itinerary is:

My first flight leaves from St Louis at 3:54 PM for Chicago which should arrive at approx. 5:14 PM.
My second flight leaves from Chicago at 6:05 PM for Manchester which should arrive at approx. 7:45 AM (England-time).
My bus leaves from Manchester at 8:45 AM and should arrive in Newcastle at approx. 12:30 PM.
