The Deed is Done

Yes, the deed is done!!!!

I have paid the final balance on my trip and it is all official and SO EXCITING!!! 10 weeks today I will have left work for 6 months and will be packing the last bits in the bags to fly on the Wednesday.

Departure seemed to be close this weekend when I went shopping for "India stuff". Mossie net, sleeping bag, first aid kit, and for Australia swimming costumes, summer clothes for winter time

I have also got a place to stay for every night I am away now - having just finalised the South-West Australia car hire and accommodation today. Many thanks to J for all help with that - what would I do without you :)

The only things I have to do now is get my ETA for Oz and the Indian visa, but the latter can't be done till early November with a trip to the big smoke to visit the Indian embassy. THEN I will feel that I am almost on my way

Speak later
