My daughter just phoned me and they're looking at tickets ... it looks like I'm going to the States beginning of February! She's gonna phone me later to let me know if they've booked or not. Dammit, I feel like a chicken without a head now, lol! I hadn't expected it to be that soon, I thought it would be April or something. And a 14 hr flight, phew! Used to do 18 hr flights, but in those days I didn't have a neck problem yet. Seriously worried about that. And just ... OH MY BLEEPING GOD! And as a woman, I'm already worrying about what I have to pack, hahaha Maybe I should start packing, so I'm sure I got it right by February

A box, lol... You reckon they'll accept old-fashioned trunks still? The size of a small elephant? They're working on booking my ticket as we speak

That's awesome news! Yes, isn't it! I'm all excited! Waiting for my girl to phone back that they managed to book the ticket. Getting slightly concerned now ... maybe it's difficult to book for a 3rd party, so someone else other than you?? Wait and see ...

oh lord an excuse to go shopping There's problems with booking, indeed as it's for a 3rd party. Dangit. They're trying to phone the airline, but they're on hold, and when they finally answer, they just hang up? Fingers crossed!!

they might need to wire you the money so you can book it yourself is all

Good luck in your travels Crystal. Hopefully you are going to a warmer area of the states. Chicago is horribly cold in February.
