Another Pre-Flight Update

Oh!, what a week it's been! Wednesday was a bit of a shambles, as I sadly Failed my test (too eager at a junction), and the Thursday was hectic with preparations for Friday (When I got mightily drunk), and Saturday (All-day hangover). Today was also mad, with last-minute visa applications, packing, more packing and running around trying to find stuff (for packing). I would also like to use this blog to thank My good friend Maggie for the wonderful cake which she baked for my 18th (It was shaped like a highland glen, to remind me of home), and also to than all that came to my party and for all of the lovely presents, especially the watch with the saltire from Linda, Alan, Stevie and Alannah (A.K.A Loony). This blog is also to say farewell to all befor I head off on my big adventure, I will miss all of you, and will be thinking of you, always. I would also like to apologise for any typos, as I've been out with my parents for a lovely curry, and I had a few (I'm sitting drinking one as I type). This will bge the last post before Hong Kong.

Only 8 Days To Go...

This is the first of what I hope will be many posts on this site. Here's the story so far...
for almost a year now I have been planning my gap year, a trip around the world. The plan really got off the ground this February, when I got accepted with deferred entry into Edinburgh Uni. That's when things started to happen, and the trip of a lifetime began to take shape. The route of my trip is as follows...
Edinburgh-London-Hong Kong-Singapore-Sydney-New Zealand-Honolulu-Dallas-Tornto-London-Edinburgh. I will be setting off just over a week, on the 24th of August, and I have decided to keep this blog so that I have a record of my trip for years to come.
So far, most of my plans have been made, and I have organised Tickets, Hostels, and an Australian Visa, but I am still missing a New Zealand Visa (which I can't get until I'm 18, and I don't turn 18 until the 21st of August), and a Driving License (my test is on Wednesday). There is one good point so far, though. I finished up at work yesterday! Woo Hoo!
