2.45am.. Saturday 20th/December/2008... T-Minus 1 hour and 45 minutes and counting...

As I lie my bed, gazing around my room, struggling to keep my eyes open, wondering what I've forgotten to pack and running out of things to type, I can honestly say that I'm excited...

6 hours from now I will be in Heathrow Airport waiting for our flight to Kolkata and most definitely be wrecked! The thought of a 9 hour flight where I can catch up on missed sleep is sounding soo appealing right now..

John, I packed a sock for you just incase ;)
