Yup! 
My plane leaves in about 10 and a half hours. Will be leaving for the airport in about 6 
After boarding my plane, I'll be meeting my SO for the first time around some 24 hours later... hopefully! I know I asked for snow, but it has decided to arrive a little late, and only began snowing yesterday, which is causing some cancellations and delays in train and flight travel. 
My SO will be catching a train down to his Mum's in Stockholm today and staying the night, ready to pick me up from the airport tomorrow. My flight leaves at night, so hoping to get plenty of sleep on the plane! First flight is 14 and a half hours to Dubai, for a 2 hour stop over before another 7 hour flight (and that was one of the shortest flights and stopovers! The things we do for love xD). I *should* arrive in Stockholm around midday, so will get the spend the day in the city with my SO and his Mum, before taking another 3 hour train trip back to his Dad's where we will spend the next 3 weeks and Christmas.
We will then spend the next 3 weeks with his Mum for New Years and a Harry Potter convention! xD
So yeah, all very exciting! I am beginning to feel completely sick in the gut with nerves! Not so much about meeting my SO and his family (as nerve-wracking as it is) but more the whole first-interntional-flight-by-myself. I'm completely paranoid I'm going to end up stranded at Dubai what with these snow storms. Which wouldn't be so bad I guess, because it'll be the airline's responsibility to put me on another flight or arrange accommodation, but still, not something I want to have to worry about, I just wanna get to Sweden! xD Don't know if anyone's ever had that experience before? How did it go?
You will probably hear from my SO when he wakes up and after I leave - or at least, when I arrive! We hope to update this thread maybe about once a week and share photos and stuff so we're not weighing down other threads. Now I really must go and do the rest of my last-minute packing! Despite 6 weeks, winter gear, Christmas presents and first-overseas-packing-trip, I seem to be about 12kg under the limit! xD (Allowed 30kg in suitcase, 7kg in carry on). See you all in Sweden!!!
