Discouraged

My Scottish accent has me sounding like Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Ideally I’ll have a flight for next weekend! It’ll be a bank holiday weekend so that would be best for settling in 

I was hoping to go by then too, but I think I'll need an extra week to get everything organized here.

Exciting.  I would LOVE nothing more than to meet ksand in real life if at all possible. 

And HeyJay and Dave!  Woot Woot!  (I know them in real life).

I'll make whatever weekend is selected work.

TeamTollie and I have been talking (uh oh!), and we have made some very tentative/loose plans, and now we'd like to open it up to the rest of this Blizzard.  We don't know where everybody will be, but from what we do know, we came up with this really rough map:



We would like to propose a meetup at the end of September.  This should give people just getting their decision made emails time to get their visas and get over here and settle in a bit.  Plus, it's my birthday week, so my husband will be off work!

Based on our map, we decided on Bristol for the location, which should give us plenty of options for a venue, and it appears to be fairly accessible and centrally located (for the non-Scottish contingent, at least... please come down if you're interested!) for the Welsh and English contingents.

Summary:

When:  September 29th (or we can consider different dates if this is a problem for someone who really wants to be there)
Where:  Somewhere in Bristol (tbd)
Who:  UKY members, and spouses/families if they want to join in

I'm in !! We are only a 2 hour drive from Bristol, and my husband used to live/work there And my birthday is the end of September also!! 

I was at the Imperial War Museum in London and I got on the elevator to go up, and a couple comes in and asked if I was Australian. I was like AUSTRALIAN?

I get Australian all the time!! When I lived in Ireland and Scotland, I could pass for a native - I just naturally picked up the accent. The English accent is more difficult I think, bc it doesn't lilt as much I think. So apparently I sound English to the Americans and Australians to the English!

Ideally I’ll have a flight for next weekend! It’ll be a bank holiday weekend so that would be best for settling in 

I'm so gunshy, I haven't allowed myself to look at flights yet! Bc we run a pub, my hubby won't really be able to get away over the bank holiday weekend, so I would probably fly in after that, pending approval of course!

MISSION SUCCESS!!

I got my visa!
