Well, to be honest i can't believe i am actually going to travel around the world!! i'm really excited but apprehensive and scared at the same time... its the unknown and whats out there waiting for me. My travel buddy, Derek is a crazy, chatter box and frighteningly organised tidy pots... and i thought i was good but i know already we are going to have so much fun,
giggles, squabbles along the way- love ya Mr Square Pants...... Derek is so cool that when we get short for money or well just for fun i have permission to use my charm to pimp the delmiester out and he's not fussy too...... how great is that... such an easy job for me i'll just sit back relax and watch the money roll in lol!!!
Derek and i have a unique story as to how we met. How my version goes is as follows....... i had orginally planned to go with girl friends however this didn't materialise in the end. At this point having had the mindset of going with others to now going alone knocked me off que and i began having second thoughts. Randomly searching on the net one day i came across a travelling website where you could meet travel companions. It looked interesting so i thought what the hell and completed a profile. Several people contacted me about hooking up, one of them was Derek. To cut a long story short we began talking on MSN, chatting on the phone then finally we met in Manchester. It was apparent that we would get on both being outgoing, bubbly people. A few days later we booked the tickets and our marital bliss began 😊 seriously it did!!
So its now six weeks before i go and i am getting shit scared to put it bluntly..... but i am!! I am hoping,.... being philosophical........ that i will find myself. I'm not lost.....at all but my personality was surpressed for many years so my adventurous, spontaneous, fun, silly but independent side is truly going to explode whilst out there. i'm looking forward to the challenges, dilemmas, adventures that i'm going to have and in particular seeing the world in a different light than a typical tourist would.... so i need to stop rambling as i have taken the day off to sort bank accounts, cars and random stuff out so i best get back to it.... chop chop Ceri.... so easily distracted... even by myself..... its ridiculous....... got to learn to multi task but its hard you know...... it will come with time i hope!! 😊
Anyway the time has nearly come, i've had my fancy dress halloween orientated leaving party (waffle i know) but it was fab and i love all my friends for coming, just thank god everyone had disappeared before i got really messy and the random pics were being taken ha ha!! funny though 😉. Said my goodbyes to my ma and da last saturday as they were going away to Thailand on holiday before me too tut tut!! well at least i'll have some tips about places to go and things to see...... so its very useful. It's actually four days before i leave my hometown of Manchester, England for the year........ but you know the only thing i am going to miss is my family and friends........... certainly not the weather....... will have to climatise from these miserable grey, dark days of November to 30c in Cape Town...... how cool is that...... i know your all jealous so don't pretend everyone 😉. I have been feeling sad and upset alot the last few days when the big hugs, cuddles and tears have been appearing, i really am going to miss everyone too much.
I haven't even packed yet even though Denzel, Desmond, Delboy Square pants has already packed and trial packed!!! i've just been enjoying socialising and partying with everyone i know and being lazy so less of the chit chat Ceri get packing, well a glass of wine to get through it might help maybe, maybe not probably will slow me down......... see you soon everyone next time i write a blog i will be in Cape Town........ yep Cape Town getting a bronzed tan and googling hot surfer dudes lol!!
