So, as i imagine you have all noticed, the reason this place has become a grey, dark world of sadness, is because i havn't been around much over the last month. My apologies for this. I know its all been VERY VERY hard for you. This is down to two very good reasons...
Reason number 1: I no longer have a job so i do not turn to the wonderful world of MOFO for procrastination purposes whilst stuck at a desk all day. I am free, running through grassy fields with flowers in my hair and soiled underpants round my legs (One of the downsides of unemployment is lack of money for new pants. or toilet paper for that matter)
And reason number 2: I am planning a round the world trip, which i embark on next month.
It is this second reason that i have created this thread. I'm planning on going away for about 7 months, and my internet time will be limited, so i thought i could create a little thread to put photo's, ask questions, post cries for help etc to keep anyone updated who gives a hot patooey. I depart on the 4th of FEBRUARY, and so far, everythings going to plan. Got most of my stuff ready, visas sorted, tickets bought, accommodation booked, sun lotion applied, toe nails cut etc.
So the plan is, i thought i could post my route online for any of you chaps, then, if the time and place is right, it could be good to meet some MOFO's on my travel of the globe? Also, if you guys have done the whole traveling thing before, mayhaps you could recommend some places to go, places to miss, food to eat, things to take etc then that would be mighty might helpful of you all and delish amounts of rep shall fall on your faces.
So first things first...
THE ROUTE
FEB 5th - BANGKOK, THAILAND
I'm spending two - three months in Asia over all, starting here in Bangkok, Thailand, and making my way up through LAOS, then into VIETNAM, and then down into CAMBODIA, then down through MALAYSIA, and ending up in SINGAPORE.
APRIL 5th - CAIRNS, AUSTRALIA
Im going to spending about a month and half or so, maybe longer in OZ, travelling down the East Coast, starting at CAIRNS for some scuba diving, then making our way down through FRASER ISLAND, BRISBANE and eventually ending up in SYDNEY. I know plenty of MOFOs are Ozzies so, if you have some hints and tips, let me know.
JUNE 5th - CHRISTCHURCH, NEW ZEALAND
I'll be heading into Christchurch on the South Island, where i'll spend two weeks, then i'll head up to the NORTH ISLAND where i'll spend another two weeks touring around, finally flying out of AUCKLAND.
JULY 6th - NADI, FIJI
I'll be lazing around FIJI for about two weeks. This, i should imagine will mostly consist of paradise. Im hoping it will be anyway.
JULY 20th - LA, USA
Hurrah! "I want to be in Amerrrricah!" So, i arrive in the states and, hopefully, money permitting, i should be staying for about a month. I'll be spending a couple of nights in LA, then i'll head to SAN FRANCISCO and spend about a week there. Then, i'll be heading north to SEATTLE for another week or so, then continuing north, i'll head into VANCOUVER, where i'm getting a train over to TORONTO, and then finally, after staying a few days, i'll wipe my tears away, and fly out of NEW YORK back home to good ol' Blighty.
SO, thats the route. Any idea how i'm going to survive? Because i havnt. This could, in all reality, spell the end of the BLIB. I live a very yummy life over here in the UK. I never really want for much. I have stuff around me to make me feel and look lovely, i have good food to eat, i have all my technology i could need to make my life as easy as possible. And i have nice sex and lots of fun, but also nice alone time too. And im giving all of this up for 7 months. It could end badly, or it could teach me some things. Im hoping for the latter. Anyone wanna help?
