Celebration Europe 2023 starts here: Day T-1 The journey

Stopped at Mike’s to unload my stuff and then reload his so everything fitted….just!

So the van went from this……


To this……😂

And this is just the rear doors view 😂, R5 on the right, two droids in the middle, R2-XL behind, then two more behind him! Plus extras, plus travel bags.

We set off from Bristol around 2pm. Arrived at our destination at 8pm!?!?! 😳😲😳😲😳 Yes, 8pm!!! We had delays from accidents, pedestrians on the motorway and by the time we got to the M25 circular ….home time work traffic and possibly football fans heading to Wembly stadium.

Thankfully there were people still there to help us unload and help set everything up. We parked the van up £130.00 lighter, for the next few days as we’ll be travelling from our hotel via the underground/overground train. One thing I don’t have a problem with is the cost of travelling within london on it’s transport 👍🏽

We got off at Canary Wharf tube station and Oliver reminded us that Rogue One was filmed here 🤩🤩🤩 we have to get photos tomorrow said Mike 👍🏽 then a 10min walk to the hotel, dump bags and back down to grab a drink (or two) with Sam P, Nik H and old acquaintance Brian Herring (BB8 fame).
Was to late for food but not for drinks 😂👍🏽

After two of those I was ready for bed.
Helped calm me down lol.

Day one starts in a few hours. So lots of photand videos to come, plus some surprises and behind the scenes stuff 😎👍🏽
