Preparation

---

Am getting quite excited now i've booked my flights and insurance. The more I think about it the more it seems like the right time to stay away for as long as possible and be a bit of a globe trotter rather than 1 stop and home. Soon i'll have no job, no house, no ties, so why not! Presently i'm researching Asia, totally different to Africa, not too expensive to get to, can be fairly touristy, lots of busy towns etc, unlike Tanz. sounds rather appealing.

I still seem to have a great deal to do and i think it could well just be my route but there are a lot of unforseen costs that have to be considered into the plan.
Such as -
prescription antibiotics and antibiotic creams just in case = £21.00ish
Mosquito net - £15
First aid kit - £15
Malaria tablets for 6 months - guaranteed to drive me crazy - for £22.00
High factor sun cream - £15.00
Bio-degradable shampoo & medicated cosmetics etc. - £20ish
Trekking boots - £35.00
Safari shorts - £9.00
Zip off trousers - £20.00
Safari shirt - £15.00
Long sleeved t-shirts for protection against bites - £15.00
Deet 100%!((MISSING)200ml) £15.00
Water sterilising tablets £10.00

other useful items i've picked up
Lockable sided tupperware style lunch box £2.00
Army mess style crockery x 2 plus cup £17.00
set of cutlery - £1.50

the list goes on and on!!!

and then there's the day to day chores to complete -
Practice and pass driving text QUICKLY
Move out of house, sort deposit, find replacement housemate
Leave job, Get P45
Close accounts for O2, electricity, gas, water, council tax, contents insurance
Delete standing orders - rent, bills etc
