Thanks, jinnyann. That's a very good idea - it's great knowing that it's not as bad as you thought it was going to be! (That's been the case 99% of the time with things I was scared of...I think too much beforehand. )

The only reason I'm ok with going on the train by myself is that I've been taking trains for years! It was only recently that I started going on them alone - before then I always had parents or friends with me. I doubt I'd be able to take a plane by myself either, but I've never had to find out.

Lucky you! I only saw two months of the 80s. I love "Rio" (that's where I got my name from ) and "Save A Prayer" as well...my favourite song is "Ordinary World".

I did try going in chat once, but it took a long time to load...I'm don't really feel comfortable in chat rooms, anyway. I'm not quite sure why. I do try and check my PMs regularly, though.
