    Cleared for Entry

    I got my visa today :mrgreen: I'm planning on leaving for the UK the last week of this month, not sure yet if I'll be there the 28th or 29th yet.

    Loans, check
    Visa, check
    Passport, check
    House, well, not until I get there and find one!

    Just another step closer to grad school and Great Britain!

    Got my plane ticket! I'll be arriving in Leeds on the 29th.

    I hope I'll be able to make it to a kilt night or two. I'm a little nervous about packing my tank in my luggage, I really don't want to lose it! I'll probably bring along my SWK or a UK and I can have my tank mailed.

    Wear a kilt for the flight. Maybe you can fool someone into letting you adapt the tank kilt as a cover/blanket. Pack another one using the XMTS Kilt Roll method according to Carry on size rules (if doable) and mail the rest, unless you're comfortable with the worry of possible luggage mishandling. Methinks you'll be a happy camper regardless. Good luck and,
    BON VOYAGE!
    Go, have fun, don't work at, make it fun! Kilt them, for they know not, what they wear. Where am I now?
