So anybody would think that after 34 hours of travelling, with very little sleep, that I'd still be in bed at 6:30am on a Saturday morning. But no, instead I was eating toast and cornflakes due to waking up absolutely starving! Understandable, considering I hadn't eaten since 2pm UK time the day before, but still somewhat annoying! I'll come to the travelling home in a bit, but first I have to write about my amazing last week....... The last thing I wrote about was my sheer excitement at eating a chicken burger and fries, despite having to endure many chavtastic tourists at the same time in Pai! This was much the same for the whole of Saturday and most of Sunday...... i made my way through 2 chicken burgers, 4 sandwiches and a piece of carrot ... read more

It's just gone 3am and I am sitting up blogging. It will be my last day contracting today before I take a week off to pack the last bits and chill out before flying off. It is getting real now as the day gets closed and is really exciting. I have my headphones on and am learning my Thai. I seem to pick up the words so slowly although Helen is finding it just as hard so I'm not so stupid :-) We have a hotel booked at Gatwick the night before and was going to drive down in my car but it seems to have developed a water leak so that is being looked at, it means we have had to re-insure Helens car instead of selling it, but its just one small glitch in ... read more

Tomorrow, at 9.30pm, me and Shaun will be heading off to Bangkok in Thailand on the beginning of our epic round the world tour (well almost)! My bags are all packed, and hopefully Shaun's all sorted too (I'm in Spalding and he's in Maidstone and we'll be meeting at the airport). After much deliberating on what to take it's all finally sorted. Although earlier today we hadn't sorted out our accommodation for when we actually arrive in Bangkok, I now have a confirmed reservation although I'm going to try some other places when we get there that were recommended and I liked the look of more - so who knows where we will be staying! This going away means that I'm going to miss out on watching my newborn niece Freya grow up for the first ... read more

Well.. Ive just this evening rediscovered my blog and photo sites from my trip to Australia in 2006 and have become very nostalgic! It's around about 2 and half years since I left there, which seems really strange to think! Looking back at all the things I wrote about and photos I took, I realised how much I had forgotten about the trip. It really was a fantastic time. I also forgot how many people followed my progress and left lovely comments! Anyway, I'm posting this in order that I don't lose track of the web addresses for the blogs and photos, as I had done until now. http://sarah-in-oz.blog.com/ - My blog for the whole of the trip from April through to July of 2006 http://s38.photobucket.com/albums/e102/sarah-in-oz/ - First half of my photo uploads url=http://twiste... read more
