Shaking The Tree 2005
Dear All
Well it is Monday morning and I am setting off on "The Trip"!
The flat is rented out and all my worldly possessions stacked in Ma and Pa's loft. Quite a sorry collection of bits and bobs really.
The rucksack is packed - and my life for the next 7 months is in it ! Very scary I can tell you... The Prada has been replaced with millets and courtesy of Howard I have a survival pack complete with whistle,
glow stick and foil blanket, so I will be OK at a Rave !
The last few weeks not working has given me time to chill and prepare ( in typical Lynne style there has been list after list after list, but I am sure I have forgotten something.) I have also spent time with my nephew Charlie,who, as fast as I tidied the flat unpacked the boxes for me.....
For those who don't know the itinerary is
Hong Kong
Singapore
Australia
New Zealand
Tahiti
Easter Island
Santiago Chile
Buenos Aires Argentina
Home
Luckily I have 2 contacts to meet in Hong Kong so this will ease me into the
whole backpacking travelling thing again.
I am booked into the YMCA in Hong Kong and I have to say hostels have
changed since I first did the trip in 1990. Check out the website - it will confirm the rumours that I am the Hilton Backpacker!
Thank you all for the good luck messages and pressies much appreciated. If I
missed your call, I apologise but it has been hectic.
I will be checking this email regularly and sending postcards - you have been warned!
Take Care and I know you can't wait for the next thrilling installment of "Backpacking with Prada"
