Step one: Birmingham. Step two: actually tell everyone about this so I won't be typing to myself. Hope this all works out. Have nothing exciting to report. Boldly attempted to pre-book a hostel on one of only six bank-holidays in GB. I would like to have a place to stay when I get there. Bought some new clothes. I need one of those succo-vac thingeys to magically reduce the size and weight of my luggage. T-minus six days.

I plan to seek asylum to escape US Foreign Policy. Go GW go!

If you make it here, post so I know you are alive.
