hello!

well i'm starting to get just a little bit excited!

i've booked my ticket.. and my contiki tour and paid my deposit :) yay. now i just have to get down and dirty with savings to pay for the BLASTED thing. Of course i hit a bit of a set back this week, i got sick, and not just a little bit, like a fever etc. but its cool, i'll just make up for it by working as much as possible in the coming months.

for those of you who dont know, im heading to london on the 12th of march 2008. i leave at 5.30PM, have a short (*2 hour*) stop over in Bangkok, then arrive heathrow at 6.20am on the 13th. 6.20 is actually a pretty great time to arrive, its like 4pm according to me.. the only thing thats gunna be a hassle is i cant check into my hotel until 2pm, so a day of sightseeing, Albeit tiredly, awaits.

On the 15th i head off on my EUROPEAN MAGIC contiki tour. which will be so awesome! quick run down of the tour it goes london-through belgium-amsterdam(netherlands)-St Goar (germany)-vienna (Austria)-venice(italy)-Lucerne (switzerland)-paris(france)-london...Yeah i know RAD!

so that gets back on the 23rd march. from then im thinking like 2 nights in the hotel, and then its time to start work. I dont have a job yet :( I would be happy doing anything but i think live-in care is the path im hoping to take, the pay is pretty good (i saw one which paid 525 pound a week live in :O woah!) but i know like most aussie travellers at some point i am almost guaranteed to end up pulling beers in some shifty pub.

So from here i have a massive list of things to do..

but all things happen inn due course.

thanks for reading! another blog awaits closer to departure when i have some more insight into what i will be doing there..

love!
