lishesquexNow, with the obligatory WoW post out of the way, onto other, even more exciting things [Yes, despite what you may think, there are things more exciting than WoW!]...
I AM GOING TO AMERICA.
It's final! Dad got his visa application approved today. I subsequently dragged myself out of bed after only 4 hours sleep to book the last couple of tickets online. Then I squee'ed all over the place until I splat-died a little and calmed down.
The schedule so far:
26th June: We leave Melbourne for Shanghai. Shop. Eat. Visit relatives.
29th June: Leave Shanghai for New York.
29th June: Arrive in NY on the same day due to time differences, yay!
30th June: After staying overnight in NY, we fly off to Orlando, FL.
1st July (or thereabouts): MEETING UP WITH
INGRID and KARINE ZOMG. O.O Not meeting Lyan unfortunately, because the hussy has gone off and gotten herself a job at Harvard just as I'm coming down to see her. Pfft. PFFT I SAY. But she will not escape my clutches because...
5th July: Fly from Orlando to Boston, because my dad's sister lives there. And I will finally get to meetLyan after all. YAY.
6th-8th July: Still in Boston.
9th-11th July: Fly/drive down to New Jersey, where more relatives live. Do touristy things around NJ and NY.
12th-14th July: Leave for Las Vegas.
15th July: One very short day in LA before we catch a plane back to Shanghai.
18th July: Fly back to Melbourne.
I'm all kinds of excited about this trip. *bounces* The last two weeks were one big stressful lump of "omgomgomg must book plane tickets but can't yet because Dad hasn't got his visa!!" but that's over now. I'm a little peeved that "3 weeks in America" turned into "1 week in China and 2 weeks in America", because this trip is entirely too hectic. Way too much hopping around from place to place, and not enough time to actually see any part of America properly. But oh well. I'm just happy that everything has fallen into place pretty much perfectly, and I'll be able to meet up withthe nub, her hot french girlfriend and my lovely ex. :D :D :D
So excited. *squee*

spengalaluce, if you still wanna meet up, I can try squeeze a few hours out of one of the NY/NJ days to see you. I don't really know what we'll be doing in NY or how long we'll be there though... the second half of the trip is still a little hazy. I'll find out the details in the days to come, I'm sure. :-)
Anyone else who would like to meet up, please comment and I'll see if I can do something about it. No guarantees though, since I'll only be in each place for a couple of days.
