And finally....

And so the waiting is finally over...today I received details of when, where and how for my new job. The big news is that I won't be going until 27th February now - I thought I was going next week, but they've moved the training back. So, next week I'll be heading down to the office in Slough (David Brent country) for a few days to get acquainted, pick up my laptop, phone and stuff, then I'll be back working from home for a little while.

As for the trip to the states, I'll be flying from Manchester to Chicago (duration 8hrs 30!), from Chicago to Denver (duration 2hrs 32), then from Denver to Bozeman (duration 1hr 41).
So that makes a total time in the air of 12hours 43 mins. However, as I have to wait around for connections, my total travel time will be 18hours! I'm going to feel a bit frazzled by the time I arrive I think.

While there I'll be staying at the Microtel Inn Bozeman, which looks fairly basic (unless they are kind enough to give me a suite - which looks a lot nicer!). Although I have seen somewhere that they all have wireless net access, so I'm hoping that's true. Think I'll need that lifeline being away from my family for 3 whole weeks.
