At the moment I almost feel at an odd end because there's all these huge trips and travel plans on the horizon but I'm not quite there yet and I don't know what to do with myself. I quit my job this last weekend so I no longer have that to worry about, I've got lists of stuff I need to pack, got my hair appointment booked (got to look my best for the QM2!), the suitcase is downstairs and yet I'm not moving yet. It makes the days drag I tell you, this excitement of something just out of reach. What is that they say? That if you wait for something then it takes longer to actually get here? Well of course that's bullsh*t but it damn sure feels like it at times.
What's even more scary is that my friends and I have started making plans for things we're doing after we get back. In April. It solidifies that there is an end to this trip and even though it's miles away, now there's plans for after it, it's definite and final. I'm not going to think about that though; just got to focus on what's directly ahead!
Of course the main worry in my head at the moment is money. I've had to call time on a couple of things I wanted to do, because it just doesn't seem feasible. As sad as it is, I can't wait to get settled in Oz so I can find myself a part-time job and actually get some petty cash rolling in. It'll be nice to know that there is some income rather than just what I have sitting at the moment.
But that's the worries. Can't focus on them, have to focus on all the exciting things we're going to do first! I mean before we even go to Oz, there's NYC with my mum (love her!) which I am really looking forward to.
On Sunday we set sail and I can't wait!
