Gametime…Whop!

T-minus 5 hours and I’ll be on a plane to London…and we reckoned things should be hard right from the start so Andy’s on a different flight altogether and we’re going to meet each other at the pizza place in Gatwick without the use of cell phones, email, or sleep.  Awesome.

***Speaking of, car name results are in.  The winner by 1 vote is Chariot of Awesome.  Winnie and the Rubix Cube paint job tied for second, so the former will be a quick-hit nickname and the latter will depend on whether we can combine a good English pub day and some spray paint***

Right…so we get to London, catch a train to Swindon, then a bus to Malmesbury, then wander around until we find our campsite and set up shop.  The Chariot is parked in a field about a mile or two away (belonging to the parents of our convoy-mate/savior/disco-stud Sophie)…good daily hike just to try and get that car “road”-ready.

Basically, there’s absolutely no way this plan can fail.

Anyways, expect blog entries to start rolling in, hopefully on a daily basis.  Bookmark this bad boy and see how much trouble we can get into before we even leave England.  Seeing as it’s 2am, we’re leaving in a few hours, Andy’s hammered and hasn’t started packing (as in he doesn’t even know if he has a bag to fit everything and just bought a tent/sleeping bag from Wal-Mart this afternoon), and I think I just bought train tickets meant for people with student passes that we by no means will ever own, the pull-yourself-up-by-your-bootstraps run starts right now.

That’s why they call it adventure.  Here’s to being awesome.
