Have you ever forced someone out of bed at 5:30am on a Thursday? It's much more amusing than I would've thought. Especially when that someone was looking forward to not moving from the bed until 2pm. Then you cover the poor person's eyes with a blindfold and tell the person to use headphones (in this case really big black ones). Then you don't tell him where you're going and let him work it out for himself. In this case it was "you're gonna take me out into the woods and kill me with an axe, aren't you?" and "I'm not gonna end up in Guantanamo Bay, am I?" - ah, it was fun. So the poor guy was forced up from the bed, forced to get dressed with the stuff I pushed into his hands and then he was forced down the stairs and into a car. All the while without knowing where he was going. At the airport I told him where we were going and the end of two months preparation finally came. So the last five days have been spent in England with friends and family and it sucked to go back home.

Things we've learned from this trip:

1. Don't discuss the mystery of aero dynamics and how planes can stay up in the air while being on a plane in the air with someone who's afraid of flying.
   
   
2. Don't leave stuff on the plane. It's insanely hard to get it back if you don't have any form of ID in there.
   
   
3. Post-holiday-blues sucks ass, but it's nice to have someone to share it with.
