It's beginning to come together...!

In my first post I had a blog and a packing list. Now after who knows how long thinking about it and looking at the travel website its beginning to get booked!!!! Ahhhhh!!!!!!!!

The plan is:
Head to Bangkok where I have a 3 week tour finishing in Singapore. Managed to get a combined tour and with mum's expect eye for a deal pay £200 less than I might have done had I just book them separately!

Next flight is into Sydney from where I explore the Gold Coast. Then I'm heading across via Alice Spings and Uluru to Perth (still need to book all the internal flights) so I can spend the summer hols with JDKE! This will be amazing. And I'll get to explore the west coast from my home from home.

Next onto Melbourne where I WILL see the neighbours set.

Flying out from Sydney to Auckland for Uncle M's birthday. Since I'm missing C's birthday I should really be with her birthday twin for that.

Bought my NZ bus pass as well today. Saved myself about £400 there thanks to an awesome offer. Getting to travel the WHOLE of NZ! Just need to sort out Stewart Island and then pray that the Southern Lights put on a show.

Pretty scary looking at the backpack I have and realising that next year that'll be my life; I bring more home than that for the Easter holidays! And my list is so long!

I cannot believe this is actually booked! Eeeeekkkkkk!!!!! :D :D :D

Getting this whole things started...

So excited about going now that I've finally got the loan arrangements sorted with the Bank of Mum and Dad...although I feel the later partner may have had to use his influence.

Have 5 conditions on this loan:

1) look after mum and dad in their old age and build them a granny annex - perfect, baby sitters on hand all the time. I think that's a good deal!

2) must be safe and come home in one piece - this matches my plan luckily!

3) not to lose everything in one go

4) I am precious! - I agree parents :p

5) keep in touch


So this blog has been started to fulfill number 5 (I hope you're happy parents...)! Oh and to keep everyone else posted on all the fun I'm having!

Guessing its going to be mainly written on the iPhone when using the free wifi in cafes so I make no promises about the spelling! Any errors blame on that and not how rubbish I am at spelling anyways!

Anyways, off to continue with typing up the packing list (even though I haven't booked any flights yet!)
