Wrestlemania...Day 1

Fascinating things, Trains.

Once upon a time they were steam powered and all you had to entertain you was earwigging on other peoples' conversations...but now, here I am, sat on a National Express train from Leeds to London Kings Cross with my laptop in front of me connected to the train's WiFi connection!

Who would have thunk it?

Leaving Charlotte behind in Leeds was difficult and upsetting but it had to be done. I'm currently talking to Euan on MSN messenger who is going to check in for me online and see if he can get me some extra leg room on the flight...can't beat a bit of extra room for the big pins!

So it's officially started today...the journey to Wrestlemania 25. I've got everything packed, all I need to sort out is the money situation when I get to the Travelex desk ni Heathrow in a few hours time when I'll be able to pick up the $1120 waiting for me there. It will be good to finally have that money in my grubby little hands.

Should be getting into London about ten past one then i'll be jumping on the tube to heathrow underground and then i can pick up the money, go to the hotel and chill out.

Euan just checking in for me now after i gave him my passport number, and all the booking references. Fingers crossed on the big seats!

This train is a very quiet running one...whatever happened to the loud trains of yesteryear? I guess WiFi must make them run smoother! Good connection though. I've told Charlotte. She'll be coming online in a little while.

I wonder what this week has in store. Meeting wrestlers is going to be awesome. The hall of fame will be fantastic and Wrestlemania will be spectacular. But there's the other little things like eating out, and nights out. I'm looking forward to it all.

Just given Euan my Online Visa Waiver confirmation number thingy for the check-in

I wonder where the rest of the people on this train are going? Are they on business? Are they travelling to see friends or family? Are they going on holiday? Who knows?

Woohoo...checked in! More leg room! Get in! It's always better to sprawl a little...and the added bonus of being the first off the plane in an emergency situation is always good!

So until tonight when I might get an update in...ciao!
