The night before

The trip to Brussels will be almost a full day door to door, if you count lunch with the friend who's kindly giving me a ride to the bus station. It looks like this:

-- Leave the house at 11:30.
-- Have sushi in Hallowell. :)
-- Catch the 1:15 bus at the spiffy new Concord Coach Lines station in Augusta.
-- Switch buses in Portland and get to Logan at 4:25.
-- Take off for London at 9:30. With any luck, get some sleep on the plane.
-- Arrive at Heathrow at 8:45 a.m. and switch terminals.
-- Take off for Brussels at 12:40. With any luck, stay awake while I'm waiting.
-- Arrive in Brussels at 2:45 (with an hour's time change from London).
-- Take a cab to the office and pick up someone who will show me my quarters.
-- Breathe, rest, and start to enjoy being there.

I'll start taking and posting pictures as soon as I can .....
