Leaving Day!

---

So after months of planning, saving and working hard, what initially seemed a distant dream is now upon us! Between us we have sorted mail, served drinks, sold gas, cleaned roofs and answered phones, all with one aim, to reach today with enough money in our backpocket to make a go of travelling the world! With that aim completed, the next aim must surely be to survive the first few days!

Months ago I had dreams of the day we leave, being in a state of euphoria, feeling invincible. However in reality, today I think is going to be a lot less glamorous. It still seems like there is so much to do; from sorting out phone contracts, to sending off final items sold on eBay. It still feels a bit surreal that 7th February is finally here, and I am not sure when it will hit me first; leaving the house, arriving at the airport, touching down in Bangkok - who knows?

At least one thing that is mostly done is my packing, thanks to a few vacuum packs and some clever arrangement - the backpack isn't to hard to close at all. Although it is a bit heavy, but I knew that would be the case.

I'll try and post an update when we arrive in Bangkok, or if we get bumped off the plane (the compensation would come in handy!), from Heathrow!

The Money Shot!
Welcome to the first installment of the money shot, your regular source of information regarding monies of the world!
This week we have US Dollars and Thai Baht. The former appears more like Monopoly money, lacking colour or interest, while the latter isn't as foreign looking as you would expect, the 100Baht variety not too dissimilar to a £20 note.
Thats all for now folks, tune in next time!
