Money
Costa Rica is really not that expensive. I spent less then a thousand dollars while I travelled through and I was there for a month and saw most of the country. You just have to know where to go I guess. BUt it is one of the most expensive of the latin countries because it is more developed. So I guess you have to expect it. It still is one of the most beautiful countries I have ever seen! =0) Good luck with the rest of your travels. Anna

Nice photos!
And it was a pleasure having you stay with us. :) The Richmond connection raves about how much she likes the city on her website. Be sure to mention what's so good about it! I've never heard anyone so enthused about about Virginia before.

Thanks
Hi Pj thanks for the advice, i have been in the Kao San road boots and never noticed the Malaria stuff, i d imagine if its in boots it should be genuine, so i will get some for SEA when im in BK and as for South America i will get it in the UK or US. That way less to carry. I appreciate the advice, thanks mate Mike:)

Thanks for the concern Jase, they have been arsey with me before and im not exactly fond of the job and will be glad to leave. But any trepidation i had seems so far to unfounded and instead i can walk around with a big smile and tell everyone and make them jealous, i will miss the leaving my notice to last minute trick. But i can get on with stuff without the work headace Mike:)

Hey Jase, my boss heard a rumour out i was going away and she asked me to be honest and tell her if i was going and the would be no worry's about my job, so i was honest with her and so to make sure it was all above aboard i gave her my written notice confirming my intended leaving date of the 23.11.07 and confirming the days holiday i have left and wanted paid for.They did not force me .......but to be honest it has been good to get it out in the open as i can speak freely to work colleagues about it and no more hidden internet searches or muffled calls...lol. Also this way they know im leaving and they have the date in writing and everyone i work with knows what a good job i do and so they couldn't terminate we early or id be able to take the to a tribunal. I feel a weight is lifted and we are practically into august and so it would have only been a few months till i told them anyway, id like to think that me being honest would stand me in good stead for references in the future and it means not having to go through pointless training or appraisals when they know im going. I suppose the are pros and cons to it, but its done now and out in the open. I think as far as they are concerned im not off to some competitor and i have known i was going to leave for sometime and my work is fine and has not suffered. It also means they can find someone to replace me before they get stuck without staff at the year end. I would like to leave sooner Jase, but i don't have enough saved yet, but that is only a matter of time. Thanks for your concern Jase:) Take care Mike

I'm puzzled - why have you handed in your notice now? surely they can't force you ? does your notice confirm your intended leaving date of 23/11/07 or sooner ?

Cashcard
Hi Dave + Cathy, i have already tried the Nationwide account thing, however because of some error on my credit file (as my credit score was excellent and it was the file and not my score which was the issue) meant they turned me down for an account. They said i could reply in 6 months but that would be too close to me leaving the uk, plus it took them 5 weeks to tell me i wasnt getting an account and i dont know if i can be bothered with the hassle, i hear nationwide make up for the no charges with a lower coversion rate,so all in all it may work out not that baddly if i go the way im going, thanks for the advice and hope the trip is going well. Take care Mike

Cashcard
Hi, stumbled on your blog as we are also from Sale and we are halfway through a trip round the world - also booked through Trailfinders. On the cashcard front, get yourself a standard Nationwide account. They are the only bank in the UK that offer completely free withdrawals at any ATM in the world. It's worked so far in Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Malaysia, Singapore and Oz. The other good thing about it is that although it is a standard current account, the card is VISA so is accepted anywhere. You'll save a lot of money with it as it means you can withdraw money daily, as and when you need it. mPlus it's all done on t'internet so very easy to look after.

It'll be gone in a flash!
Hey, just checking the forums and it led me here! :) I'm travelling in three weeks, and like you, I decided to 'go for it' 12 months ago... The countdown commenced almost straight away and I've had a countdown timer on my blog since about 6 months ago! It rushes up so fast so get excited now! Good luck with the cash amassing... once you decide to start saving it's amazing what you end up with. I'm already 4k over my estimate! :) Michael Johnson
