Andrew's vacation starts....now!

I just got on the megabus and I really lucked out. It's pretty much 1/4th full and everyone's already asleep so it's pretty quiet. The internet as of right now isn't bad at all so I'm very happy especially because I got a seat on top and the front of the bus.

So just like all my other trips, Donald is here to keep me company. Joanna gave him to me like 4 years ago so whenever I go somewhere and can't take her along with me, Donald will fill in ^_^


Joanna is a genius and suggested that we go to Dick's sporting goods to look at duffle bags since I wanted something bigger than a normal carry on but wasn't bulky. They had hockey bags on sale which were exactly what I had in mind. I went home and repacked, really happy to see that I've got more than enough room for extra stuff that I might buy along the way.

The plan tomorrow morning is to get off the bus around 8am and take a bus to the Chinese consulate. It's only a 15 minute ride and I still have a few bucks left over on my bus/rail card from the last time I was in chicago so hopefully everything will go smoothly. Until then, I've got 8 hours to watch some Battlestar Galactica and chat with people on facebook.
