So, ahh hello! This is my first entry as I’m sure you can work out for yourselves (sometimes one feels the need to state the obvious?!) Anyway, moving on…I felt I should get started even though I haven’t actually left Dublin yet as half the process of travelling is getting organised (or lack-thereof). I guess I’ve really been travelling the past 4 years now, with a year in the UK before settling in Dublin for the past 3, but I FEEL like I’m about to head off and do some ‘proper’ travelling….so here we go:
In approx. 18 days (yes, I am most certainly counting) Ange & I are ditching our dreary accounts & IT (sorry boss) jobs and leaving Dublin, its craic all and the wonderful friends we’ve made here to travel around, over, under South Africa & South America for 3 months before hitting Sydney in time for Xmas. So let's see where we find ourselves with 18 days to go:
First aid travel kit? Check
Vaccinations? Check
Backpack? Check
Guide books? Check
Plane ticket to South Africa? Check
3-week Safari booked? Check
Plane ticket to South America? Umm
Plane ticket to Sydney? Hmm umm
Broken car in the backyard towed away? Ooh
Travel insurance? Check – hoorah! Back on track…
We're both savvy travellers (we hope!), so I'm sure we can wing the rest (anyone reading this that has ANY info on getting from S Af to S Am PLEEEEEEEEEASE contact me).
Right so (bit of Irish for you there...limited I agree), I'd best get back to trawling the millions of pages of travel deals on the internet in search of the 'deal of the century' to save poor Ange and I from living the rest of our lives as tour guides on our one-way ticket to South Africa .
Ahh sure, she’ll be grand :)
