It's Real

We finally purchased plane tickets for our upcoming journey to Edinburgh today.  We are officially leaving on September 8 at 2:20pm. I'm actually rather pleased as we managed to get quite a good deal for the tickets, less than a thousand for both of us.  Not bad considering the price of travel these days.  It's funny, but buying the tickets makes the whole thing finally seem real.  I mean, we actually have an itinerary now.  I finally have my visa and Kellie should have hers by the end of the week.  It's really happening, we are really moving to Edinburgh.  It's crazy how, with enough passion and planning, a silly pipedream like living in another country can so quickly become a reality.  This all started because of my fascination with the UK and my exploring the websites of UK universities late at night.  Now we have plane tickets.  It's real.
