Ok, so alcohol and tiredness clearly don't mix well days before a big trip......
Last night after my lovely friend Suzie went to bed post her 30th birthday celebrations, I had quite the melt down about going away.
This resulted in numerous texts between the lovely Robbie Baker and I at 3am (my fab Asia travel buddy and a guy who is always up at silly o'clock on a Friday night!) and a drive to the beach for a much needed distraction and little cry......
After looking at the sea, shedding a few tears and repeating in my head the very sound advice from the birthday girl and Robbie, I pulled myself together, drove home and crawled back into bed at 4am where I promptly fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow (hurrah!).
3 hours of coma sleep and a text from my friend Danielle saying she always had a melt down before a trip too later, I felt better that this trip would be fun and reminded myself that I had a similar melt down just before my last big adventure and that turned out to be one of the best experiences I've ever had.
So, no more alcohol and late nights for Bleachy before her trip and here's to new experiences and places, getting to know a travel buddy I've only literally just met (gulp!) and the knowledge that if it all goes peek tong I can book a ticket to anywhere else in the world or simply come home! (A comforting thought, though hopefully one that will not pop into my head once I'm on that plane!).
2 days to go and counting......!!!
