Serpentine's Travel Diary Thingo-Whatsit - Page 16

I got myself horribly lost on the northern line trying to find it, so I guess that counts.

Thufir · 09-13-2012, 12:08 PM

Done now. A few hours and Serp will be gone.
I am all of the sads.

factotum · 09-13-2012, 01:41 PM

Farewell, Serps, sorry it didn't work out over here...

This. So much of this. It was wonderful to have met you and although there were a few...inconveniences...I hope you enjoyed your stay here. Please come back one day.

onasuma · 09-13-2012, 05:21 PM

Only met you for 2 days. I sure am sad it wasnt longer.

Serpentine · 09-13-2012, 06:52 PM

Thanks guys. I'll miss you to.

So um... craaaaaaap. Those who don't know, my flight got cancelled, so I'm not actually leaving until the morning. But I can deal with that. Less easy to deal with is this: I've checked trains, buses and flights, and there's no way for me to get from Sydney to Sawtell/Coffs Harbour the same day as I arrive in Sydney.
So now I'm starting to get worried

Archonic Energy · 09-14-2012, 02:54 AM

So... you at the airport yet?

The Succubus · 09-14-2012, 02:58 AM

Are you actually *awake* yet?

Totally Guy · 09-14-2012, 02:59 AM

Yikes, I hope it'll all work out. I guess you'd have to do an extended wait at the airport once you arrive until you can get on the public transport the next day... Is there more complexity to it than that?

onasuma · 09-14-2012, 05:05 AM

Shes awake! She woke me up complaining about australians, so she should be in the air now.

Thufir · 09-14-2012, 09:28 AM

Yeah, when I phoned her to make sure she was up at 7:30, she'd already showered. And then she texted me at about 9 complaining about australian accents, and again about 40 minutes later to say one last goodbye, which I assume means she was getting on the plane at that point.

Serpentine · 09-15-2012, 08:39 AM

Yep, made it back to Australia safe and sound. Staying with my cousin (one of many...) in Sydney, getting the train to mum's tomorrow. 'sallgood!

The Succubus · 09-15-2012, 08:41 AM

\o/

Did your bag arrive in one piece as well?

Serpentine · 09-15-2012, 09:12 AM

Yep! All present and accounted for.

Strawberries · 09-15-2012, 10:02 AM

Glad you made it in one piece!

...but sad you're gone.

Tasroth · 09-16-2012, 06:56 AM

I'm going to agree with what everyone else has said:

Pleased you got back to Australia fine, sad that you're gone.

Hopefully see again sometime

Serpentine · 09-16-2012, 07:06 AM

Annnnnd now I'm back at mum's place. Look for the last couple of diary thingy entries in the next couple of days (unless you're all sick of them by now

).

Rawhide · 09-16-2012, 08:05 AM

You know, you could try travelling over Australia to continue your worldwide experience. it might not seem as exotic, but there are lots of wonderful things to see and do here and it might be easier to find work/cheaper on the budget/easier and cheaper to return home.

Thufir · 09-17-2012, 10:00 AM

In case anyone reading this thread is not also keeping up with the You Thread, some of my photos of Serpentine's last two weeks in the UK (On which point, I believe me and Serp now hold the record for longest Playground Meetup?) may be found here and here.

Serpentine · 10-07-2012, 10:05 AM

Updated, but not yet up-to-date.

(aaaarrrrgh so much stuff so much argh DX)

Serpentine · 10-09-2012, 11:26 AM

Aurrrrgggggh, this is taking so LONG DX Sneak-peak at the second last entry is up, but it's not finished yet. Still got Wiltshire, Bath and London to do. Why oh why did I have to do so much stuff to write about

Totally Guy · 10-10-2012, 09:11 AM

You've already done all the best bits with me in it. :P

Serpentine · 11-01-2012, 09:55 AM

Quite true, quite true!

But, for the sake of completeness, I probably ought to do the rest as well... and my goodness it's a pain -.- I'm gonna have to start moving some of the content to separate posts by the end of it.Turns out that last couple of weeks were kinda busy...

lesser_minion · 11-02-2012, 04:36 PM

I'm pretty sure I shouldn't look that annoyed or scary normally. Hope nobody suffered any SAN loss.

Serpentine · 11-18-2012, 03:30 AM

Hey Minion, I was talking to my mum about west country accents earlier today and I just now did a bit of the diary thingy involving you, and suddenly I really miss your accent.

lesser_minion · 11-18-2012, 05:57 AM

I'm pretty sure that's the first time I've heard that, but thanks.

Serpentine · 11-18-2012, 09:51 AM

Don't you listen to all those people who haven't said it, it's a great accent.

So... close... to finishing, but so in need of sleep DX

Serpentine · 11-18-2012, 09:19 PM

There. Just the debriefing left to do.
edit: and suddenly I feel very lonely

The Succubus · 11-19-2012, 06:40 AM

*hugs*

And so ends the mighty saga of "What Serpy Did On Her Holidays". A thousand years from now, when humans arise again from the ashes of civilisation, they'll tell stories of when the Snake of the East met the Trickster God Thufir, the Nameless One and all manner of demons and exotic creatures. And then the children will look up to their parents and say "That was cool - when did the sequel come out?"

*Looks at location*

Is Serpy mistaking the Brizzle accent for a Westcountry one?

Don't worry, we'll all be here to keep you company, even if from afar.

I apologise for not being able to make it to one of your walkabouts, but things with work suddenly got manic.
