Its about two and a half hours before I leave to go to the airport. Didn’t sleep too well last night, and feel quite nervous!
The leaving party on Friday evening went well, thanks to Mum, Dad and Roz for organising it – and no Roz, I won’t forget you!
Thanks also to the boys (Pete, Rowlands, [...]

I’m packed and ready to go!
Here’s what I’m taking
The list is as follows….

I am officially unemployed. I finished last Thursday, and I must say that after two working days of being unemployed, its great!
We leave two weeks tomorrow, I’ve just ordered my malaria drugs, and I’m working out what other things I need but haven’t got. No last minute panics just yet, but to be honest, it [...]

Although I haven’t posted anything on here in a while, the trip is still going to happen.
This is my last full week at work. I handed my notice in at the start of the month and my last working day is the 1st Sept. Work were pretty cool about the whole thing and have said [...]

Excellent I said, lets give it a whirl, see what they’re offering. Anyway to cut a long story short, I went for an [...]

Got a few little bits and pieces done, I’m now immune to Yellow Fever after having the jab on Saturday morning, cost a cool £65 for the jab and initial consulation. I’m going to get as many as possible done on the NHS as it will work out a lot cheaper, like FREE cheaper.
Also have [...]

I don’t want to carry a laptop with me everywhere I go, and as a result I’ve been thinking about the best way of updating the site by using internet cafes and I think I have come up with a decent idea. Typing what I have written is pretty straightfoward, but I think inserting the [...]

I booked my flight to start the big trip last night. I now depart on 20th September, rather than the 15th which I had originally planned. No problem. What’s five days between friends!
London to New York. Heathrow to JFK. Kuwait Airlines. £230 return. I won’t use the return flight as I will be heading into [...]
