1. Amanda and I have arrived uneventfully in London, have gotten our paperwork together, gone through customs (AKA Border Control) and are racing towards Brighton for tonight’s show.
2. Amanda and I have arrived uneventfully, but are stuck in a very long line weaving throughout the international terminal at Heathrow. Just imagine how excited we are about that. Start those Duranie Sacrificial ceremonies now in hopes that we make it to Brighton in time. If not, we’ll probably be drowning our sorrows in a pub somewhere….if we ever get out of the line we’re in, and we’ll see you all in Bournemouth. Granted, we’ll be very hungover, but we’ll be there!
3. We got to Chicago, found out that our flight was canceled and have made other arrangements that may or may not involve swimming across the Atlantic. (I’m guessing probably not, but you know, it was fun to write that statement.)
4. We got to Chicago, found out that our flight was canceled and said “Sod it all, we’re staying in the city and partying it up!!” Just imagine what a 6 day stint in the city of Chicago would cost us….ouch!!!
Naturally I’m hoping that all ends well and that we’ll see everyone in Brighton. Regardless, I just want you all to imagine what it would be like to sit on a plane for eight hours (well, for me it’ll be 4 hours, then a 4 hour layover involving dinner at O’Hare airport, then another eight hours on a plane), sitting next to one another. Neither Amanda nor myself are especially relaxed travelers on a plane. We very much dislike turbulance, and sleeping is very difficult to do, which is why we’ll probably be having a drink or two before we even get on the plane. Then we’ll “sleep” for several hours, only to get off the plane in London and attempt to navigate our way to Brighton. Then we’ll go to a concert. I hear Duran Duran might be playing! Not only will we be sleep deprived from just trying to sleep on a plane, but we’ll be completely messed up due to the time difference. It’s not going to be pretty, but it’s touring!
I can promise that as soon as we’re able, we’ll tweet so that everyone knows we’re on the ground and fine. Then as soon as we’re ready – we’ll blog. That should be an interesting one. I’d probably advise you to get yourselves a beverage and be ready for a laugh or two. Imagine Simon’s tweets in long form….just saying.
I can’t even believe we’re doing this. Are we insane?!?
