31 Days to Go!

Wow, time sure is slipping away quickly.

Normally I’d be annoyed at this, largely because it would be creeping dangerously close to those rubbish winter months where you leave home in the dark and get home in the dark – and the only daylight you see is through blinds from your office desk.

Fortunately, just as that time creeps in I’ll be swanning off to somewhere that’s about to enter Summertime.

Life’s a bitch, eh?

Anyway, with only 31 days to go before I set off (and 25 days before I leave work), I thought it’d be a nice idea to start doing daily updates.

Let’s start with how far we’re along now:

  • Flights sorted
  • Travel insurance sorted
  • Visa sorted
  • Photo driving license sorted
  • Hostel booked for week in New York
  • Hotel booked for night in LA
  • Hostel booked for first two nights in Aukland
  • Kiwi ExperienceZephyr” trip booked (open date)
  • Hostel booked for Melbourne from 18th December to 2nd January

Various other bits have been sorted but they’re too dull to list even on that list. I’m getting vaccinations on Monday… should be “fun”. I’m getting quite excited… but more on how things are tomorrow.

Finally, I’m doing a daily photo prior to leaving too. Here’s the first:

31 Days to Go
A potential design for the Big Adventure blog header (and other things requiring a logo). Quite like this one… will probably go with it.

Anyway I’d best get back to work (and staring at the rain thrashing down outside the office window (oh how I’ll miss this…)) – speak tomorrow!

    Loving the banner design – but will you actually implement it??

    P.S. Just DO IT!

    Yo Pat. Looks like you are all set for your big trip around the world. I happen to like the rain, wind and cold. I’d much rather be in England than some penal colony the other side of the world. All together now – “get your sh_1t stars off our flag” [who am i trying to kid :( ]

    I must insist that your template gets updated soon. Surely your l33t web design skilz must be able to come up with a better blog template than the one that comes bundled as default with WordPress!

    What happened to the leaving party you mentioned a few weeks ago?
