0 days and at the airport!

I am now sat in Heathrow terminal 2, awaiting for my flight to board. Always takes its time! Im still not sure how all this trip is going to go, nerves and anticipation are certainly growing every minute I sit and wait. Can someone please hurry up and invent the teleport! As much as i hate to admit it, i am actually shitting myself, even with my relatively large amount of travel experience!

Fingers crossed baggage will all come through ok and that customs etc all are nice! I will try and update you once I am the other end, but no guarantees how soon i would be able to do it.

thanks for all the messages, it is greatly appreciated, but as an aside note, if you comment on my posts, leave your name please!

Take care all, i intend to myself!

2 days to go!

A news update. As of thursday gone, when I finally got a visa after many months of pure persistance, it is confirmed that on wednesday evening, i will indeed be leaving! Life is now getting more and more nerve wracking, and more thoughtful. Questions like.....'What the hell have you got yourself into!?'. The answer.....'Who knows!' But it wouldnt be exciting if everything was known and easy. Challenges are sent to make life interesting, and overcoming them is always the fun bit.

I will be travelling to Heathrow on wednesday during the day and flying to Paris 6pm and then on to Bangui nearing 10pm. So by early morning thursday i should be in country and attempting to navigate the airport and find the people im meeting.

I will update further if any thoughts come to mind.

For your information, the only ways to contact me as far as i know, is by email, or by commenting on my posts (done by going to the bottom of the post and clicking on where it says the number of posts, you can then comment and best to have your ID as anonymous, placing your name in the comment)

9 days to go!

9 days to go, I am about to onset a trip to London, to hopefully gain a visa from my favourite embassy. Do wish me luck!

With 9 days to go and 4 or so wasted with London and Bristol, I have almost all a years supply of stuff ready. The biggest issue (other than visa) being that of space and weight in my bag. Basically it wont fit and i havent even got everything turned up yet.

So far nerves/excitement are limited, but im sure they'll come. Probably on the drive up and after actually getting a visa.

I shall attempt to update the blog as regularly as possible, ideally with images, but how realistic that may be cannot be sure.

Also do watch out over the next few weeks in the Western MorningNews Paper for my exciting article about me! It'll prob be after I leave knowing my luck
