Ok well here goes to finally getting the blog up to date.

I left Southend early afternoon and managed to hit all the traffic on the way to heathrow and to make matters worse, I was still waiting to hear whether I had passed my exams and would actually be allowed to go away. Meanwhile mike was sitting in the Traf with the boys and Babs chilling and mocking me for continuously calling him with questions about what we were doing. Anyway we both managed to get ourselves to the sirport fine, get checked in, have dinner and then say our goodbyes to my mum before getting ready to board the flight. Mike decided to take his dopiclone before we even got on the plane and so by the time we had taken off and dinner was served he was completely out of it and was barely able to even hold his knife and fork. It was so funny watching him, especially when he kept saying that it had no effect on him!!! The flight was pretty smooth *well I slept for the whole thing* and when I woke up in the morning we had landed in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
