Two weeks to go

Well got up today and realised that in two weeks time I will be heading off to the other side of the world to start my adventure. My stomach is churning, partly with fear and partly with excitement. I have just got an email from my friend who is sailing around Malasia and she has told me that her banks have been playing up and stopping her from getting money out on her card. So first thing tomorrow morning I will be onto my bank so that they know exactly what parts of the world I will be in at any time. They will realise that I am the one spending on my card. It would be awful not to be able to get my money out.

I have to sort the flat out now because I only have one week before I have to move everything out. Luckily my friends Alison and Matt are buying a house and need funiture so they will use mine for the year. As well as storing lots more in their loft. I have been so lucky that lots of people have agreed to store things for me. So over the last few weeks everyone I have visited has been given a couple of big bags full of my possessions to store for me. I have written down who has what so that I will enjoy travelling round when I get home collecting all my things.

Fiona, my first ever landlady when I move to Tunbridge wells, has kindly agreed to put me up for the last week before I go, as she has now become a very dear friend to me.

Will have to sort the travel insurance and international driving licence tomorrow ,then I think things are pretty much sorted.

I will have most trouble trying to decide what to take in my rucksack...I know the Jimmy Choos will have to stay at home!!!
