Blogging 101

This is post number 101 on my blog!!!

In honour of all the blogs to come, I thought I would blog about my trip :) The countdown timer at the top of this page serves as an obvious reminder of my departure, which is getting closer and closer! So here's where I plan on going:

FEBRUARY 13TH: I leave Ireland! I have to fly through Frankfurt, Singapore and Sydney before finally landing in Auckland at 4:40 pm on February 15th! Valentines day will be spent sharing a glass of champagne (haha only if I get bumped up to Business class) but more likely a plastic glass of white wine, or a can of beer with the person squashed next to me on the plane. Chances are it'll be an old lady but I'm still dreaming of some sexy bloke :) If I cant find a valentine in the 3 countries I'll be in on valentines day then that says something about me. haha. I hate valentines day :)

So I'll spend a month traveling around NZ until MARCH 16TH when I will fly from Christchurch to Melbourne. I'll do my best to find some kind of a posse to get drunk and celebrate St Patrick's day with on the 17th--it shouldn't be too hard. Finding an Irish person in Australia is about as hard as finding saturated fat in McDonalds.

APRIL 22ND I depart from Sydney and I head to Singapore. I had only planned on spending 2 nights there but because of flights I have to stay there for 4 nights, so I'll try to see if I can escape the city for a couple of days.

APRIL 26TH I fly to Thailand to spend one final week of bliss before I head back to Ireland on MAY 2ND, arriving there early on MAY 3RD!

So that's my plan, for now at least! Not too long left before I start writing from my locations instead of about them!

Yikes! It may be a bit of a tight squeeze to get up to Sydney before I fly out on the 20th to Thailand

:(

Nevermind. I will be in Ireland without a doubt, to come and see you in May.

CAN YOU BELIEVE WE ARE ACTUALLY DOING THIS?!!?!?

I have to say, I am pretty jealous of your upcoming trip. It sounds like it's going to be so much fun. I have friends in Australia right now, and another friend leaving for Europe for 3 months on Tuesday. Ah, I guess I'll just have to wait till I finish school before I get to take care of my wanderlust :P
