Finally the day has come!

Yo!

I'll be blogging on here rather than facebook so that family and friends (about 5 people) who are not technologically cool enough will be able to visit the blog. Im not sure how much I will be blogging to be honest, and knowing me it won't be a lot, but at the least some pictures and videos will be uploaded on here (a few on here, a rest on my facebook page) plus updates in my itenary.

Being last-minute and lazy, I hadn't finished packing until late last night, and still have a couple of things to get ready (im leaving at about 5.30pm for heathrow). So basically this isnt going to be a heartfelt, essay type entry. Just in the rough, my itinerary is below:

18/01/10: Leave London
19/01/10 – 20/02/10: Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia
20/02/10 – 04/03/10: South Thailand (islands)
04/03/10 – 26/03/10: Hong Kong and China
26/03/10 – 29/03/10: Bangkok (yes, again)
30/03/10 – 10/05/10: Australia (mainly East Coast)
10/05/10 – 08/06/10: New Zealand and Fiji
08/06/10 – 19/08/10: South America: Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil
20/08/10: Home!

Although i'm not particularly scared as i've been waiting for this day since about last june, part of me is anxious, and off course people phoning dont stop reminding me of all the bad stuff that could happen. Half of them dont really worry me, but yes my passport may get stolen and i'll be stuck in some random country. Yes someone may steal my stuff. Yes i may get mugged of my money and possessions. Maybe i will wake up with a random snake next to me or a tarantula on my nose. And inevitably i will run out of money. Obviously i'm not hoping for these things to happen to me, but it will leave me with sum quality stories to tell when im back.

Ok time to go, still got craploads to do. Hopefully be on here in a few days. Try not to miss me too much.
