Bear me away!
The countdown is over, and in a matter of hours I will be on my way to the airport where I will board a plane for ... well, first to Philadelphia. Then, after an 8-hour layover, during which I intend to see a bit of the actual city of Philadelphia (*cue Rocky theme*) instead of sitting on my can at the airport all that time, I'll be boarding a flight to London.
I am as excited as I could possibly be, but also a tad nervous. I've never traveled so far by myself, and it seems like there is SO much to remember about things like airport security and what I can and can't carry with me and how much money I should carry around and when I can pick up play tickets and blahblah - *sigh*. But I'll be in London, so I think I'm going to have a great time no matter what happens - unless I get captured by some Tube-dwelling cannibals. :P
I asked a coworker who was recently in London if they still had a "pee fee" in public restrooms over there - the cost is apparently up from 20p to 50p since I was there seven years ago - and today she brought me one pound in loose change, in case I had to go before I could get some coins. XD So, that, at least, is taken care of.
Anyway, as you have probably guessed, I will not be online at all tomorrow - probably not until Thursday evening, actually. So, I'm sure Mary Grandpre will unveil the Deathly Hallows cover art sometime tomorrow. ;)

I think Pam had come up with March based on the time between the announcement of the release date and the unveiling of the art last time. With today's news from Scholastic about their countdown, I feel pretty good about predicting that it'll be done by the time that starts on April 17.

But the HBP cover was March 8, 2005 -- a full 130 days before the book. If the DH cover were to come out that many days ahead of time, it would have come out yesterday. :)
So history suggests sometime in the next month. I suppose it could actually be April 17 to start their countdown out with a bang. But basically, literally any day between now and then is possible!
