Okay, so now it's December. Kay and I have pretty much done everything. Everything we need, has been purchased with a few stragglers’ left which will come in due time. Our itinerary book is coming along nicely (for those of you that don’t know, this is Kay’s OCD telling her she must document everything we are doing, when, where etc. It's quite a clever idea, but time consuming).
Excuse me! I swear it was more your idea. It's exactly 10 weeks until we leave, and it's quite weird. Kay is getting nervous, scared and excited all at the same time.
This is mainly because I drive past London City Airport everyday on the way to work and you can’t not get excited! I on the other hand, feel….well nothing. It still doesn’t feel real. I question whether I'm normal,
your not, but have spoken to people who have done this before and they have said the same, that it doesn’t actually hit you until you get to the airport and say you're goodbye’s.
I cry every time I think of saying bye to people! (Gayer). 10 weeks seems like a long time, but in reality, it's not. December always flies by. Parties every week, lots of booze,
alchi, lots of money spending, which we are still doing despite being broke because of the saving. But we have been so good in the last 6-7 months I think we deserve a little fun. January will be panic to sort every last detail out and make all the necessary arrangements. Times zipping by and before you know it will be January then February and we're dreading October 2009 because we will be back to this hell hole!
We are now sorting out our Bon Voyage party, little advance we know, but to get everyone we want under one roof warrants this sort of time frame! So everyone, (who knows us) keep Saturday 7th February 2009 free, because we want you there!

Hi mate, you probably dont know me but I often read the gapyear.com forums and recognised your face in a photo on the bloggers page of this site. I just wanted to wish you guys a great trip and perhaps our paths might cross at some point! If I recall correctly we briefly chatted in a thread about travelling in china... (i think :P)... anyway good luck in your preparation! I'll be off myself on 4th January :D
