Ever since the Tsunami in 2004, I've wanted to help the countries which were impacted by the huge tidal wave. So when I qualified for my six month sabatical, I looked into orphanage support in Sri Lanka. This investigation lead me to an organisation called "Gap Year for Grown Ups" and after numberous conversations, not only did I sign up for a one month in Sri Lanka, I ended up with a one way ticket round the world.
My journey starts with a visit Dubai to see my brother and sister-in-law (4 days), then I travel to Sri Lanka, Thailand, Singapore, Perth, Darwin to Alice Springs, Sydney (travel the East Coast to Port Douglas), New Zealand, Fiji (for a well deserved rest on the island of Malolo - I don't advise looking up the details as you may turn green with envy !), San Fransisco, Las Vegas (not for slot machines, but to see Grand Canyon !) and finally to New York before heading back to my family & friends and of course my own bed !
27 Sept 09 - All flight tickets, excursions and accommodation are booked and my bags are nearly packed - so all that's left is to say is salams / goodbye / auvoir to family and friends and hope Allah keeps you all safe & well until my return - 28th March 2010 xxxx
