In 7 days time we’ll be high tailing it to the airport to catch our 10.15pm flight to Bangkok. Then the adventure really begins! With the prep almost done, all that’s left to do is pack our (extremely small) rucksacks and say our goodbyes. It’s the final countdown!

Seven days to go… guess I better start buying a few things then! I’m not quite sure how to get all these things into a fifty litre bag, but where there’s a will there’s a way. I plan on reading the books in the image on the eleven hour flight… eleven hours on a plane?!

I can’t believe we’re into the final week. How do I feel? It’s hard to describe and few adjectives can suffice. This is a life-long dream – about to be realised (no exaggeration)! It also means my stomach is in knots, but occasionally flipping with excitement as if to remind me this is going to be an amazing adventure. I can’t wait to start filling this blog with pictures and say hello to the world!
