Slight change in plans

I just wanted to let everyone know that I have to delay my departure to your area one week.  I'll be arriving next week thursday instead of this week thursday.  The welcome parade and festivities, unfortunately, will just have to wait an extra week.  Once again I look forward to arriving and meeting you all.  I'm giving up on trying to secure a place to live over the net because, if I can't actually see the place first hand, who knows what the hell I'll be walking into.  Hopefully, though, someone at least has a couch to crash on for a short time until I can meet people and get a place. 

See you soon!

That was actually my experience when I arranged a room on the Net and then arrived.  Fortunately, it was easily remedied because once I was here, it was easy to find a better room.
