We arrived in Sydney early morning and waited for our lift - Work and Travel were supposed to be picking us up. We waited. And waited. And waited some more until we realised they weren't coming, we couldn't get in touch so we got the shuttle bus to our hostel and later got our money back for this. We received our packs which included our mobile sim and discounts that we get when showing our YHA/Work and Travel cards. This has come in handy for a number of things....

We arrived in Bangkok after a very bumpy flight from Dubai to Bangkok. Our flight to Dubai was ok and it went quite quick but the second one dragged! Anyway...we arrived ok.

Yesterday was the most constructive; I ordered my bahts for Thailand which i pick up Friday. I photocopied all my documents and did this wierd fa...

Less than three months to go :) Still sorting quite a lot of stuff out, but my flights are booked and all paid for, as is my Real Gap. Now i just need insurance and a whole bunch of other stuff... I have decided when i've been to see Take That (at the end of this month) and been to Spain with my girls (at the beginning of next month) i'm going to crack down.
