It still doesn't seem real. Maybe it's because i'm sitting at work killing time trying to look busy. Maybe its because I haven't been away from home for very long before and it feels like I'll be coming back?

Whether it feels like it or not, in two weeks time I'll be either in a plane from HK to London. Or I'll be landed and rearing to go.

My last minute things to do list is growing and the nights I have avaliable are deminishing. I think about not seeing my family or cats for a year and get sad, I think about the experiences I'm about to embark on and get excited. 

Extened family goodbyes have taken place and now for the 'leaving drinks'. Then eventually the airport goodbyes. All that stands between then and now is stress, sadness, exitement, drunken convos and the stress of packing....

Unreal....

The planning and booking of our 6 week Euro trip is underway and getting more exciting by the day. Stop number 4 on our trip is Venice, the floating city. Although we will only be there for a day I can not wait to explore this city and get some picturesque shots of the waters... And take a romantic canal ride of course!

This photo shoot is getting me excited. Today I'm wrapped up warm, wearing tights for the first time in months and it's grey outside. In four weeks time however I'll be in warmer weather, out to grab some bargain deals of little skirts, dress and shorts. 

Time is creeping up. It's so surreal!

Times really creeping up now. So many points to note.

1. KB and I have both been approved Visas! Mine will be delivered in the next few days!

2. It was my birthday yesterday which means the next few weeks is going to FLY by

3. We've started purchasing festival tickets and booking accommodation.

It's all becoming very real now.

One destination being booked in as we speak is San Sebastian, Spain. For the Running of the Bulls festival in Pamplona we will be staying in the coastal town of San Sebastian. It looks like a natural beauty and the perfect place to be nursing a hangover or two. This will be our lookout for four nights.

Technology is amazing. I already know what my soon to be London abode looks like and how sweet the road looks. Loveridge Road, Kilburn.

Before we even get to Europe we'll be milling about London, trying to see as much as posisble (for as least as possible). Seen in movies and on tv many a time will soon be seen with my own eyes. 

Excitement builds by the day.

I've been saving all my pennies and dimed recently (with a few splurges here and there), but what I really would love to get my hands on if I had the cash to spend is a bunch of different bracelets and bangles. Silver mixed in with gold and some colours to accompany my watch and brighten up my arms.

cappadocia

In the more distant future, maybe 2013 or 2014 I look forward to exploring Turkey. My parents fell in love with Turkey and spent five weeks living on a Turkish beach living off bear minimals.

Cappadocia in particular will be a must see in this trip.

Cappadocia is famous for its caves, underground churches, and unmatched structure. Located in Central Anatoloa in Turkey, this place is one of the country’s most famous and unique attractions.

Staying in a Cave Hotel while there will be a must.
