| Feb 1st! Eight days to go before I embark on my first real backpacking travel trip! Eeee. SStage one - booked flight out of aus (melb) to Kuala Lumpur. No, this is not my ideal destination but cos i booked this so last minute it was cheapest to fly with air asia into the only destination from melbs then book another flight with air asia to somewhere... anywhere tropical! At the moment im bumming around in Melbourne with no job and no money. Loving seeing my friends again from my time living here last year (spent dec 15 to jan 20 in the home country of nz). However, it is proving to be a difficult task not doing anything! I feel extremely lazy and unproductive. You'd think that I would have used this time to get mega organised for this trip but that hasn't really happened either... Brought a backpack the other day, its so freaking small i just dont know how it will fit all my crap in it. Because I have to bring all my crap to asia you see, I might need it! Bah. Also starting to read through the Lonely Planet South East Asia on a shoestring budget travel book! Its as thick as a rhino and i wish it had pretty colourful pictures to look at so i can base my trip around those photos. I'm goin to actually have to read the black and white print. Hmm. Money wise im freaking out, got hardly none and no idea how long il be travelling for and how far i can manage to keep my money going! Can you get a credit card when you're a bum?! Am nervous about flying bymyself... Debbie, my cute lil english travel buddy wont make it to asia for approx a week after me! (Shes mucking around in the NT of Aus!) So im being all courageous and just doing it! Ahehe. But seriously, im quite ditzy when it comes to... well... everything so making my way there bymyself without running into any problems or trouble would be a miricale!! Will let you know if i get there in one piece ;) |
