Welcome to Europe stwert. You shouldn't actually get on a plane here from november until march because these things tend to happen whether it's christmas or not. Watch this, might make you feel better as it could always be worse https://failblog.org/2009/12/09/fail-...p-ten-of-2009/ Hope you get to africa soon, safari sounds like a lot of fun. And while you're waiting there's a lot of nice pubs in London Nilla
