I've managed to get over the worst bit, and that's the most important thing. To say that I was scared about the flight is a slight understatement. To say that I was panicking about the trip, again, is a slight understatement. I must hold the world record for the number of times I checked my tickets, passport and driving licence, and an all time record for the length of time to pack for the journey. Seven days, near enough, from start to finish.

Captain Slog 20:00EST
The day started uneventfully enough with breakfast. Soon check out time arrived, and I made my way down to the reception to pay my bill. The shuttle bus offered to take me down then, but I declined thinking that 11 till 3 would be too much. I took the shuttle at 12 and got there for just after 12:30 - I chanced it and checked in. The person on the counter thanked me for checking in early and said the plane I had booked was chocka, and if I wanted I could go on the 1:10 which was nearly empty...

Apologies in advance, you will get this after I land. Tuesday was a fairly uneventful day. I slept in & got up for breakfast. The news & papers reported that it was going to be a stinker weatherwise. Once again it was to be 80's & very muggy. I chanced it & went up the road into Revere. I popped into Walgreen's, & put my photo's in for developing and they'd be ready in an hour or so.

I've had a very exciting day today... I woke up to the dulcet tones of a drill going through a wall, and so the alarm call that was booked wasn't really needed. I had my "continental" breakfast, and set off for Concord Massachusetts, and to find The Concord Consortium who are running the Virtual High School project.

I arrived at Boston's Logan Airport safely enough - as you probably worked out from the fact I told you I was about to land. It was then let us loose, and don't tell the passengers where to collect the luggage time... OK, there are 4 carrousels split over opposite ends of the terminal. And the one all the passengers chose was not the correct one - as someone came over the tannoy to tell us very helpfully half an hour later. Grrr.
