The thread in Chat has gone to thread heaven. Silly Zombie thought it wasn't due to go until tomorrow so missed her chance to ask HQ to move it here.

She slept well last night and feels reasonably well this morning.

Let the chat commence!

Oh huge EEEEEEEEEEEEKK back to you Zombie. I am so glad this trip has come off! I hope you have the best time ever.

IamtheZombie · 15/11/2014 23:34

Whew! Everything is going to plan. Not necessarily to time, but definitely to plan.

The journey has begun. I'm now settled in for the night. It's about another hour to the airport so I plan to get back on the road around 7am. I've already checked in on-line and printed my ticket and boarding card. So when I get to the airport I just have to check the bags and then I can relax!

I am SO EXCITED. I'm also absolutely knackered so I'm sure I'll sleep well tonight.

I'll check in with you all in a couple of days.

ZombieHugs!!!!

Have a great trip, Zombie!!

I'll be watching out for your plane flying west :)

There's a red kite currently hovering over the field, I think it's a good omen :o

Good morning- brilliant morning actually!

Been lurking again (posted once before) but so so thrilled that you are off to spend some magical time with Zombielad Smile

Wishing you a safe and relaxed trip, you truly deserve it.

Bon Voyage Zombie xxx

mummylin2495 · 16/11/2014 13:15

This is such a very special day for Zombie isn't it. I can't imagine the emotion of it all. I'm sure we will all be thinking of the moment she meets up with her son. Take care Zombie and we are all with you on another instalment of your life. This time it's something great, and you deserve it. Love from the damnbuggerfuck team x

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 16/11/2014 17:12

You're very good at that lin.

I quite often try and fail to write a post that conveys simply what I'm feeling.

Then I read what you've written and think, yup, that's what I wanted to say but couldn't SmileFlowers

Z will have landed now won't she?

#teamdamnbuggerfuck

mummylin2495 · 16/11/2014 18:05

Not sure what time her flight was or what the time difference is. Will look it up on the world clock !

mummylin2495 · 16/11/2014 18:14

Not really sure where I'm looking for but Washington is 5 hrs behind us if that's anything to go by ! I'm useless at knowing where places are ! Flight looks to be about 8 hrs so if her flight was at ten she would just about be arriving I would think.

Fairyfellowsmasterstroke · 16/11/2014 18:39

Her flight left Heathrow at 11.25am - she is due to land at Washington Dulles at 3pm local time.

Fairyfellowsmasterstroke · 16/11/2014 18:40

mummylin2495 · 16/11/2014 18:50

Thanks fairy, good job someone is on the ball !

Fairyfellowsmasterstroke · 16/11/2014 18:57

Just checked the time difference - she lands at 8pm UK time x

Should be starting her decent soon.

mummylin2495 · 16/11/2014 20:11

Must be such a mixture of emotions for her. Excitement. Apprehension etc . I hope she hasn't worn herself out but maybe she slept on the plane for a bit. I would love to see her face when she meets up with her son, I would probably cry !

magimedi · 16/11/2014 22:26

The eagle *Zombie has landed by now!

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 16/11/2014 22:56

Oh, I assumed was 5 hours, same as NY, thanks Fairy.

We don't even know if ZSon was meeting her do we?

I hope so.

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 16/11/2014 22:58

I think it will be BlubCity lin Grin[sob!]

Allalonenow · 16/11/2014 23:15

I don't think there is any 'probably' about it mummy I know I certainly would cry.

Maybe we all need a little stiffener, so brandy and champagne cocktails all round! Chinkalissimo everyone Wine

mummylin2495 · 16/11/2014 23:38

Think it is five hours BBB . It was 3pm there and 8pm here. Well I would think by now Zombie and Zombieson have met up, I do hope so, how exciting is this for her. She must be buzzing. I wonder if she mentions this thread she will refer to it as her damnbuggerfuck team Grin

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 17/11/2014 00:25

It's 5 hours time difference lin, so if you fly to NY you pretty much land at the same time you took off. I've only done it once and it was sunset all the way Grin

But Zombie took off at 11.30am ish so you have to add the difference between that and 3pm which makes 8 hours roughly.

Crossing the Dateline is one that will really boggle your mind!

I hope she'll manage to sleep.
