The Oz Tour '08

Here we go. The dreaded flight leaves Heathrow tonight at 9.45. I'm ready for the off, but that doesn't stop the continuous roaming around the house looking for things I've forgotton to pack! I keep telling myself as long as I've got money, passport and tickets - nothing else really matters. But I won't listen! I also still can't get my head around the fact I'll board the plane on a Tuesday and get off under 24 hours later on a Thursday! What happened to the Wednesday? I WANT MY WEDNESDAY BACK! I've still got a few little things to do, like the weight-in for my suitcase on the bathroom scales. No chance will Qantas be getting any extra baggage charge off me!

Right, I'll leave this opening titbit short and sweet. Afterall, I haven't actually travelled anywhere yet. Next stop Sydney (via Peterborough, London and Bangkok!). Goodbye cold and rainy England, Hello humid and luke warm Australia.
