Well here is my first post on my new travel blog!
So nine days left at work now before I set of on my travels around the world. First stop is Beziers in the south of France for three and a half weeks to visit my parents, sister, my nice and to see my new nephew for the first time. I'm looking forward to a few weeks to relax and start my planning for the year ahead. Although I don't plan on doing too much planning as I just want to turn up and see what happens.
The current (rather loose!) plans are to fly down to Cape Town on the 1st of September and stay around Southern Africa for two months before flying off to Sydney. Two months in Sydney and possibly fly over to China to spend Christmas with my cousin. Then a month in New Zealand before flying over to LA and visiting various places in the States, Canada, and South America for three months before flying back to England three months later. Although I do fully expect this to completely change over the coming year.
I'm virtually ready to go now. I've bought my rucksack, got my visas, booked my flight and that's about it! It's surprising how little you need to do. I'm going to get lots of jabs tomorrow morning, so will probably have sore arms tomorrow afternoon. I just need to get my travel insurance and empty my flat, the thing I'm least looking forward to doing!
Well that's the end of my first post. I hope in the future they are more interesting than this one! My next update will be once I'm down in France, and hopefully include a few pictures of Owen.
