I'm leaving on a jet plane....

[pinikir]

I've done it! Planes are booked, tours were necessary booked, visas applied for, banks sorted. I leave on the 19 August. My route

Belfast - London - Beijing to Hong Kong Tour - Hong Kong - Bangkok - tour of Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam finishing in Bangkok again - Australia - New Zealand - San Fran - New York (meet ups with people and additional cities to be added as needed) - London - Belfast

Nano this year is going to be nuts, I will be in Australia for half and New Zealand for half.

To my Americans, I don't have exact dates yet, I'll be working exact dates out while I am in New Zealand so we have time to scheme!

I am an excited, nervous person who has three weeks to finish getting ready!

Just based on the places you're going, it sounds like it's going to be an awesome trip!

You're doing nano....while on a whirlwind world tour @_____@ GOOD GRIEF! I'm trying to force myself to finish an entire chapter in one month from the comforts of home.

....unless maybe what I've been doing wrong is NOT taking whirlwind world tours! That would explain a lot.

I can't wait to see your US dates ♥

*giggles* I'll let you know how it goes. At least writing at Ayers rock should be inspirational.

Isn't it cool we could very easily meet next year

Travelling is fun and I bet you will have a brilliant time. You will write in your journal during your travels I hope? I look forward to read about your adventures. Take lots of pictures!
I bet you have that special tummy ache right now, the feeling in your gut saying "OMG, what am I getting myself into????!!!!" :)
I am well familiar with that feeling and it is lovely to have it. Even if it makes you feel a bit sick.

I will be journaling like a crazy person where I can! Part of me suspects that through China I may have a little trouble doing that if all the rumours remain true (which is something I am oddly looking forward to discovering!). I'm even willing to promise postcards to anyone who wants them.

I've definitely got that feeling today.The date feels so close and there things still to buy and do and argh! My

I travelled in India as part of my year 2000 travels. I remember that when I wanted to check my email it took about 20 to 30 minutes to open ONE email sometimes. Can get pretty frustrating!

And oh yes, I'd love postcards!!!!!!!!!!

I know I know we don't really know each other yet but I just LOVE cards :)

[pinikir]

oh I think I may murder someone (or produce me ereader to read) if it takes that long!

I think with the amount of journaling and commenting we do we will know each other quite well reasonably soon!

Some of my postcard messages can be quite mad as a warning I did a fandom one for Torchwood to a friend from Austria after spotting an anomaly in the picture on the postcard. But I can promise they will show the area I am in!
I'll be putting an entry up for addresses in the next couple of days
