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. ;)
