It only seems like yesterday that 2006 began and I was counting down the nine months down until September. Now i’m left with just fifty days left before I board Malaysian Airlines MH1 from Heathrow to Auckland Via Kuala Lumpur. Time to get scarily excited with those pre-trip nerves kicking in. The really daft questions like ‘will I meet people?’ are coming to mind. Really stupid as its hard not to when living in hostels…
I keep thinking of things left to do, but on my current list:
Update Expiry Dates of Credit CardsBook Flight return flights from Auckland-Sydney-AuckandOutward: November 6th, Inward: April 20th- Book Coach from House to Heathrow (Just know i’m going to forget this)
- Book Travel Insurance
- Make sure my student loan payments stay defered
- Sort out New Zealand Bank Account?
- Buy new Personal Radio and maybe CD player
Decide if I take a laptop or notToo much hastle, it’s not going travelling!Second Battery for CameraResign From Work!!!– Can’t wait for this one
I’m sure there are a few more things and i’m equally sure i’ll remember a really important one just as I get on the plane like last time. All part of the fun!
So soon i’ll be turning up in hostels and putting food in the fridge with my name, room number and leaving date on. Be woken up by the rustling of bags at 5am and people talking in random languages in the middle of the night. Endlessly packing and unpacking while trying to put off doing the laundry for yet another day and of course having the same ‘name, where you’re from, going and been’ discussion over and over again! Can’t wait!
