getting ready to go

Can you feel the buzz? The hum of excitement? The steady crescendo of hype & fervour?

Tomorrow we go, we're off. A long bus trip leaving Ipswich at 9 o'clock and not arriving until 8 hours later. Ouch, my bottom, my back, my legs are hurting already... how will we manage. Ipods, books, games, snacks to the ready. For the staff, earplugs, dark-sunglasses and tranquelizers.
