Hello everybody!
It's Aja Jardine. I have a ticket to Jo'burg with my name on
it!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just have to find out by Monday if I can pay for it
~quite important!! LOL I will be getting in to Jo'burg on the morning of
the 19th. Could someone be there to pick me up? =) So we just wait for
tickets to Jo'burg? This trip is going to be rather interesting! I can't
wait! My flights are going to be grueling but I am prepared as long as I
have batteries (no handicam) in my cd player and U2 to listen to I will be
fine! I can't forget my sign! ;) I hope everyone (especially the band) will
like it. It's a surprise that I can't wait to show you! =)

Here's what my flight plans look like:

Leave Vancouver on March 17th @ 3:45pm, arrive in Frankfurt @ 10:20 am,
leave @ 9:55pm. Arrive at Jo'burg on the 19th @9:15 am!!!!!!!!!!!

God what a long trip BUT coming back is worse!!! LOL =)

Leave Jo'burg @9:05pm, arrive in Frankfurt @6:40am,flying out to CALGARY
@1:50pm! Then arrive in Calgary @3:35pm and flying to Vancouver @6pm
arriving at 6:30pm!!!!!!!!

It's hard to believe I will be spending a year's tuition on this and
everyone I know keeps reminding me. How did you deal with comments and
negative attitudes like that??? I don't really want to say "It's none of
your "fookin" (well I imagine I would use the Canadian pronunciation)
business if I want to travel halfway across the world for 4 days to see U2,
whose members do not know I exist (well maybe they saw my sign in Seattle)
but have changed my life, hoping to make to whole band laugh and praying
that Bono will also see the OTHER side of the sign! Meeting people I do not
know except through email and selling everything I can think of to make
this trip work!,etc." Any other less confrontational suggestions out there?
=D LOL Well I guess if I blow up they will have a while to calm down! I, on
the other hand, will NOT be coming down!
Well as you can tell I am rather excited and DO talk alot when I am, be
prepared. I will keep everyone posted with my finalized plans! Thank you
for all your help and if you need more info about ANYTHING I would love to
get back to you. It's SO much fun getting email now! =) Luv, Aja
