Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes!

The clock is really beginning to tick really loudly. NO! Not that clock – the countdown to Germany clock!

Had my 'official' goodbye party on Sunday. Was a lovely afternoon/evening.
Well, from the bits & pieces i remember, it was lovely.
If i feel asleep before you left, i am *so* sorry. Didn't mean for that to happen, but people kept dousing me with Jaegermeister. And i couldn't say no to that, could i?
Good news was that i didn't wake up with any broken bones...

Things are rapidly approaching. Two weeks today will mark the first day of German life. Or the first day of my new life. Whatever you want to call it.

And things look very exciting. Way beyond my imagination - in the last week there have been some VERY exciting developments. Things i really didn't anticipate. But WOW! Let me explain...

The opportunity has arisen for K to take a few months out from his company (Gotta love the economic meltdown...) So, after a flurry of phone calls & emails, we decided that this would be too good an opportunity to miss; i don't have a job yet, we don't have a flat yet, K won't have this chance again. Or, as K so delicately put it, "when i retire at 67, you'll be 74. And you'll be too old to travel".

To cut a long story short, K and me are going travelling.
Where? No idea. But we'll have few months & we can take our time.
Does anyone have any suggestions? So far our only suggestions have been golden sands, sunshine, palm trees & cheap beer....

Yup, the future is looking damn exciting.

The Yucatan peninsula (Mexico) or Belize? India is good on a budget. Namena Island in Fiji is quiet and gorgeous, especially if you like diving but even if you don't.

Thank you, M & K!

Cambodia! So cheap, so easy... Actually, why not go to South-East Asia and just wander around for a while? Each time you get bored you can move to a new country... And pop down to Oz without too much trouble! Whatever you end u doing, I'm sure you will have lots of fun!
