Nine

This morning I got in the post a “welcome pack” from the Reading university, detailing all the things I need to know to get there. As an international student I am supposed to be there by the 28th at the latest, so I decided to book a flight for the 27th since that’s the earliest date my room will be ready.

I just booked the flight from Milano Linate to London Gatwick. I’ll go to Modena by car, take the train to Milano Centrale, take the bus to Milano Linate, fly into London Gatwick, take the train to Reading and finally take a taxi from the Reading train station to my flat.

The flight was supposed to cost €73.99 but went up to 99.99 with taxes, insurance, baggage (which costs 9 euros, and is now billed separately) adding up to the final amount.

So… on the 27 (2+7=9) of September (9) for 99.99 (with 9 euros of baggage) I’ll be in Reading for MATD ‘09. Did I mention I’ll be 29 by then, since I was born in mid September 1979?
