T minus 3 days

I'm a bit scared.

My girlfriend and I start our two month holiday on Monday when we fly out to Los Angeles. Whilst I am very excited and this really is a trip of a life time, it's really bloody scary.

I've traveled on my own before. I managed to get to a festival in Germany with no grasp of German whatsoever but at least I was only a few hundred miles away. This time I will be half way across the planet.

I think we are pretty prepared. I'm currently printing off a few copies of all of our e-tickets. In fact, the e-tickets are probably not helping the situation. It used to be that if you were booking something you would have a ticket in your hand, or at least a letter telling you that you had booked your hotel. We have a few automated e-mails telling us that everything is A-OK.

That's all I wanted to say at the moment but be prepared for several more posts describing my apprehension over the next three days.

Update

Okay. Apologies for the lack of action on this blog over the last week. I've had a bit of an odd week. I am now jobless after being 'let go' from my hideously boring role at 'Driven Systems'. I'm currently looking for work but, as anyone from Brighton will tell you, it's not easy in this town. Brighton seems to be made up of shop workers, bar staff and people selling insurance to each other over the phone.

I love living in Brighton but it does sometimes feel that you give up the right to have a decent job once you reach the end of the A23.

Oh well, only another three months and I'll be jetting off around the world :-D

Holidaaay!

My girlfriend, Jordan, and I booked flights for our holiday today. We are flying to L.A., then Auckland, then Tokyo, then Hong Kong and finally back to the U.K. We're going for about two months in total and spending about two weeks in each city. I haven't been outside of Europe in over seven years so it's going to be a bit of an adventure. We now just need to book hostels and find out if we can stay with people while we're out there... Oh, and save up some spending money.
