This years journey is set to begin in under 12 hours.  At present I have just finished packing.  It is looking to be a good trip.  I&#8217;ve already organised with one person to meet them for lunch on saturday.  I have also started talking to another person who is on the trip (a fellow aussie).  <\/p>\n<p>I am really looking forward to the trip but I am quite nervous in regards to tommorrow (friday).  I am meant to go on a bridgeclimb at 4pm tommorrow but the forecast is rain.  Now normally i&#8217;d be ok with that &#8220;pfft rain whatever.&#8221;  But some of you know i am a massive clutz.  I fall over myself often and have been known to fall up steps!  I am worried that in the rain at night i will lose my footing and end up hurting myself BEFORE I even get on holidays.  So if its raining tommorrow.  I&#8217;m cancelling.  I know it sounds like a cop out but im worried about my own safety.<\/p>\n<p>What I am looking forward to tommorrow is seeing Megan again.  Been a while and its good to get to see her again!  Saturday will be a full day with catching up with megan fully in the morning, doing a bit of shopping (hello tripod) and then Lunch with some fellow travellers.  Then contiki pre tour meeting on saturday afternoon before dinner with my sister.<\/p>\n<p>Should be a few days before i post again (probably saturday if not monday or tuesday).  I will definately keep this site updated as I am going and will also keep a journal going while I am away.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway time for some sleep \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well its 10pm 22Jun 2006.
