- To give me something organised to look back on
- To help people keep in touch with my exploits and experiences
- To entertain
- Because Im addicted to taking photos!
As I write, I feel Im pretty close to being ready to leave, my bags are nearly packed, the loose ends have pretty much been tied up, and I've said the temporary goodbyes to most of my friends and family.
Saying goodbye has probably been easier than I thought it would, or should have been. This isn't because these people aren't extremely important to me, they really are, it just doesnt quite seem final or real yet. Knowing myself, it will be in the next few days that I realise how much I'm gonna miss everyone. To those I have said bye to in the last few days, and think that I might be apathetic regrading them and others close to me, I promise you this isn't the case, theres a certain number of friends (you know who you are) who I will miss like a fat kid misses chocolate!
The plan for the next couple of days looks a little like this:
- Get to Manchester airport around 3pm tomorrow (cheers Woody :-) )
- 16.50 flight Manchester to Heathrow, arrive ~18.00
- Check in at Heathrow, this involves doing anything humanly possible in an effort to get an upgrade for the longhaul flight!
- Depart from Heathrow at 22.10
- Fly for around 12 hours, arrive for refuelling at Hong Kong around Thursday 18:00 local time
- depart HK at 21.25
- 10 hour flight to Sydney
- arrive 09.40 local time
From there its straight to www.wakeup.com.au where I am booked in for two weeks. The next couple of days will be spent alternating between sleep and drink!
Ok I think that's enough for know. This is the first time I've kept a blog, so I hope everyone will be patient with my incoherent ramblings initially.
As I post more I would to see as many comments as possible from people, whatever you feel like saying!
Bye for now, wish me luck! I'll catch you all in a few days!
