Official notice

Okay all, it's official - I have started packing...

But it's kinda weird cause I'm almost finished you know. I guess it feels like I will be packing up until the time I leave, but it's strange because I feel like I have packed most things, and I've still got a few days to go...

Don't know quite what to think about the trip yet. People keep saying to me "aren't you excited?" and "omgosh thats so exciting!" and of course I am, but part of me is restricting myself from getting caught up in the adventure - I have to give myself a reality check every now and then.

Sad saying good bye to all my friends, had a great night out and it made me realise the things I'm going to miss. I don't even know if my nightlife will be the same over there!

I don't know if I'll post before I leave... So buh-bai for now. Next post might be in Hong Kong!!

Trouble in paradise

So ALL things about an exchange are not so glamourous (soon that will be glamorous).

Very stressful packing, family stuff and organisation of the different things are kinda working me down...

Arg I can't even get my words out.

I'm just going to miss the people who mean a lot to me... They know who they are. Wish I could take you all with me!

Loving Rachel for posting a comment, my blog is no longer a virgin!

Wish I could write like Jenni.

Out.

Time for number two...

Thinking about what to pack...

I mean, what the hell do you take on a trip that covers 3 different seasons... And Hong Kong is REALLY hot at the moment. Two days spent in 36 degrees celcius... fun! What shoes to take? I want to be comfortable when I'm walking around, but sneakers are waaaay to heavy. But i do have 46 kilograms worth of luggage I guess, I was hoping to save that for shopping though :P

Thus the lists start...

Tops
Shoes
Jeans
Boots
Togs
Electronics
Underwear
Medication
Jackets
Sweatshirts
Dresses?

Feel free to comment on anthing I've missed.....

Entry #1 - Kia Ora

Hi all,

This will be my online diary for the duration I'm away, and I'll try and update all those who are interested in hearing about my travels.

At the moment, it's about two weeks until I leave New Zealand, heading to New York Via Hong Kong, London, Paris and New York City. Going with my dad, can't wait.

Hope you guys enjoy following my tales, I imagine it'll be therapeutic for me to record the events of my exchange.

So hi, welcome and lookforward to reading all your comments in future!
