Eeek!! Today I spent the most ever in the space of half an hour, but it does mean that on the 11th of Feb I will be jetting off to Thailand ;D ;D ;D
Then off to Singapore for 2 nights, then to Cairns on the 2nd of March with untill the 3rd of May to get to Melbourne for my flight to Auckland. Stay in Auckland for 3 weeks then back home again for the 24th of May! So excited but it hasnt sunk in yet. Not going via LA anymore as it boosted the price up and I wasnt bothered about it anyway, but it means flight home will consist of a pretty straight journey home via Asia.
yayayayya xx

Superb.
I hope we get a Zillion pics. Have you a Blog or Facebook you will be updating as you go ?
Nice one :)
I'm increasingly wanting to visit Oz, not really interested in Asia, but I so want to visit Oz and maybe NZ. Maybe next year... ;D

I will be blogging it, most likely through my Project Lumino Myspace as I'll also be trying to get in plays whilst I cant do new music. But I can copy and paste it, so could always start one on here if people want it :)
It doesnt seem real in the slightest. I can only imagine that when I say goodbye to my family I burst into tears! And then get on the plane thinking "what am i doing ahhhhh" feel abit lost getting to thailand but then once i find my hostel hopefully find some other travellers to have a night out with.
Im advertising going to Thailand for anyone who wants to come, as Id rather so much to share it with someone. So far I have 3 people who might be interested but they dont have the money yet. So if anyone has a spare £900ish and fancies 3 wks in Thalland give me shout :)
Im going away to Portugal for a week by myself in October, which will be abit of practice. My friend lives there but works in a bar 6 nights a week so Il have to get used to walking in a bar by myself and chatting to randoms.
Wow - excellent hun :D I am super jealous of you :)
Awesome! I've got the money for, but not the time for Thailand which is a pain.
You'll end up bumping into loads of people in the same situation as you when you're travelling. When I was in Japan I was wandering around Tokyo all my spare time and ended up getting talking to loads of strangers.
Excellent news :D
I'd love to join you but don't think I could get the money that fast unfortunately :(

Yeah, I get alot of people saying I wanna come!! but its not always so easy. Im hoping my best friend will come, and another very good friend of mine said he would come. I think it will help having someone in Thailand as even though its full of travellers it will be my first place to visit so il be dead nervous/shy at first plus I dont speak the language (even though I bet everyone knows English) but by the time I get to Aus I'd have come out of my shell and be an expert and chatting to randoms hehe
My 2nd cousins from NZ know im coming now, my relatives phoned them today as its his birthday and the first thing he said was "i hear holly is coming over!" :)

:) It'll be fantastic Holly, i'd love to have the opportunity to do this one day. Make the most of it and keep us updated.
Definitely get in. LA is no loss at all, but got an oversized suitcase for the rest? ;D
I don't need to tell you to have fun because I know you will. I don't think there's anywhere on that list I don't want to go to. The question is, will you want to come home at the end of it? :)
PS - The flight back is knackering. At least you should get a few hours stopover (usually in Singapore or Thailand, depending on carrier). As I was on the same plane all the way, I had the choice of staying on board or getting off. No-brainer there. :)
No loss about LA. I bet you can't wait! Fantastic news! Lots of pics and stories! But not all the sordid ones ok ;)
Woooo hooo!!! Thats great honey :) the countdown begins!!!

eeek! the countdown!! I need one of those time ticker sigs.
I told the MD at work today, god my heart was thudding when I was waiting for him to come over. Made it all really sink in !!
Iv put out an add on Gumtree, seems quite useful as long as I dont attract weirdos, but sent an email to a nice sounding girl about my age wanting to go to Thailand.
Going to visit my friend who went travelling sometime this week, so she can point me in the direction and as my inteniary starts coming together il post it on here, so people can add/comment/suggest things!
The countdown:
It is 147 days, 1 hour, 1 minute and 59 seconds until Monday, February 11 2008!!
(the time of my flight)
Don't forget the postcards :)
I'm all excited for you :D
I'm so very tempted to forget about buying a flat/house, saving up some money and taking 6 months off to do the travel thing again (I'd prefer to do it with someone... Paul?). I did it once broke as anything but it was amazing fun doing little pub jobs, teaching sailing, working on yachts (not doing IT, being a decky) and that sort of stuff, but if I can do it with a bit more money I'd love to do it again!
You're going to have SOOO much fun - it's so exciting. God I'm really very excited for you!!! :o
