Well I'm here. Hooray I can hear you say, but let's not get the flags & bunting out yet. For those of you lucky/unlucky enough to know me (delete as appropriate!!) you may know of my preference to travel light when staying away from home. I think of myself as a rather uncomplicated individual and as such don't always see the need to travel with excess baggage..!! This time I think I may have set myself a challenge and a half. The airline God's (the airline shall remain nameless as I'm using them quite a bit over the next 8 weeks..) choose not to load my bag at Heathrow. They had obviously heard about my survival like abilities to survive on the bare minimum, so here we go. I have a laptop and the clothes I've been wearing for quite a while now as my only companions. Challenge indeed I can hear you say. Bit a challenge I'm tackling head on. There have been some sort of assurances my luggage will be flying today, hopefully to me.!!! We will see.
As from yesterday post my goal for today is still to get to the soil science lecture this afternoon and finally begin some Turf School activities. Which will hopefully allow for some more turfgrass related post's allows opposed to my travellers woes.
So as I finish this post I sit in Detriot International Airport, having spent a short time in the Holiday Inn, courtesy of my unnamed airline.
Things to note about my brief time in the US to date, the people are very friendly (unless there just taking pity on me??!!), it's very cold (-8 degrees ) and yes its snowing. Perfect to test out my newly acquired snow boot's & cold weather gear. If only it wasn't still in London.....
