Well I've just got this thing started in order to log the whole trip and aid in keeping my sanity for 5 months.

It seems to be a long road of preparation before I actually go. I've had this planned for almost a year and a half now so when I finally get there I predict I'll have a mixture of confusing emotions, including being incredibly anxious with mass amounts of relief!

I've still got an unhealthy amount of purchasing to do, including last minute Insurance, a Boardbag, more Tech Kit, a Sleeping Bag, PJs, Thermals.... Ok I'm even less prepared than I thought!!

Ok time to sign off then get started ticking things off this list.. G'night!
