Aug. 30th, 2006 07:25 amDeadline met, thus I can begin the story of my trip, finally.
As to the traveling part, I just need to specify that my husband is perhaps the worst traveler ever, and that my most heartfelt thoughts of divorce inevitably coincide with airplane flights. He's not so much a nervous traveler as a cranky, uncomfortable one, which is compounded by not being able to smoke for many, many hours on the flight. At least Heathrow has a smoker's lounge; look, I dislike smoking as much as anyone (well, maybe not as much as anyone as I was still able to fall in love with a smoker and not shut out the possibility automatically as some folks might do, but I dislike it a lot anyway), but every airport terminal should have a smoker's lounge, because if you're going to deal with the discomforts and nervous-making-ness of a long flight, you should at least be able puff your head off in a controlled area before that flight begins. Seriously.

Lots more to come but I don't want to overwhelm my f-list, and besides I've got to spend the morning prepping for a freshman orientation writing workshop I'm doing this afternoon.
