Hello there,
The latest in trip information is that I purchased my plane ticket!!! I'm leaving on July 6 and arriving July 8. I could have gotten the flight cheaper if I'd have purchased it sooner. I was waiting to see if a friend of a friend could get me a deal, then another friend of a friend, finally after seeing the prices go up I decided to just buy it. By far the most expensive thing I paid for in my life (at one time).
I've been looking at which hostels I'd like to stay at when I get there and figuring out some sort of itinerary (I mean that liberally). I'm really just planning on playing it by ear as much as I can. I did get a hotel room for the first 2 nights just to help with the initial jet lag since I'll be 15 hours off of my regular time and have been on a plane for so long. Plus I figure the people in the hotel will be pretty cool and helpful. I'll head to hostels from that point on. Who knows, maybe I'll camp outside for the first time in my life at some point?
Something that I need to do before this trip include hopefully taking a self defense class, (fingers crossed) getting a deferment or forbearance on my student loan, obtain travel medical insurance, talk to my bank about leaving the country and getting an appropriate credit card to avoid USD to AUD currency fees.
My last day at work is May 17 and I'll be moving out of my apartment soon after.
Exciting things to come :-)
Have you accomplished any of these things yet? They alls ound pretty important to me... also, I miss your face.
ReplyDeleteHey Kristy!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to the bank today. I do have my insurance. I did not do the self-defense class but I did start working out. I didn't do the student loan stuff either, yikes!
