Coach trip!

So I've gone and done it. I've booked my flights from Paris Orly (it was considerably cheaper to fly from Paris than anywhere in the UK, and by considerably I mean over 70%) to Martinique with a generous 40kg of luggage. Although this then caused a logistical problem. How to get from a UK airport to Paris with 40kg of stuff when most airlines only allow 20kg and charge anything from a tenner plus for each additional kg? £200+ for excess baggage anyone? And no, there really isn't any way I would consider packing less!

So I've booked a place with National Express. For real. Setting off from Bangor (I'm returning to the land of my Father's for a few days before I leave), the coach collects extra passengers from Llandudno, Colwyn Bay, Pensarn, Towyn, Rhyl, Prestatyn (and even the Pontins at Prestatyn!) to name but a few, as well as various other UK cities, before changing coaches at London Marble Arch and arriving at Paris CDG 22hours later. Being the snob I am, I am not impressed and slightly hesitant about spending four hours in central London with all my bags given all the recent troubles. But I'll have my Heffs, iPod, plenty reading material and will get there eventually with all my extra luggage. And of course I have this to look forward to...

Ahh I think I'm just turning bitter and cynical in my old age.
It'll all be reet in the end :)
