5 days

Im leaving in five days. I still dont really believe it, i mean its going to be the best holiday ever. I havnt travelled much before this, well i went to disneyland when i was 6, and aussie a couple of years ago, but thats not much. compared to this. america, england, germany, italy, maybe more!

So today i looked at cheap flights to Bremen in Germany, where Miriam lives, and they are really cheap!! like 1p! there is tax on top of that, but still. i cant really believe how cheap it is, but they leave from london, and to get there its gonna cost about 60pounds. more than the flight!! and thats by bus.

yeah, leaving in 5 days, and still have two exams. bio on tuesday and physics on friday.
wow.

leaving in two weeks

hi all,
i decided to write this blog as a record of my amazing trip around the world. i am leaving on the 30th of november 2007, which is in two weeks today. the reason i am going is because dad is going on sabatical in preston, england for about 6months. my parents arranged a houseswap with some english people, so we will be staying in their house and they will be in ours. on the way to england we are going to be flying via the usa. we have one night in la, before flying to orlando, florida. here we will spend a week, at walt disney world. we are also planning on visiting the kennedy space center and cape canaveral which has a shuttle launch planned for the day we are there. then we are hiring a car and driving up the east coast of america to washington dc. on the way we are planning to stop at a couple of smaller towns, one of which was the original capital city of the usa. then we are plannig on spending a week in washington dc, a lot of which time i hope to spend in the national air and space museum. we are then flying to preston, england. just before christmas we are going to visit london, this will be amazing as all the christmas decorations will be up. we are also planning on spending a night at oxford at this time as well. after a christmas in preston i am flying to bremen in germany to stay with miriam. we will spend new years together and we might visit hamburg also. then after staying in germany i am flying back to the uk for a couple of days before flying to italy with the family. we are going to hire a car and drive up to assisi where st francis lived. after staying here for a few days we are driving back to rome for another couple of days before flying back out to england. the only other planned trips so far is my flight home, but hopefully i will be able to visit paris, scotland and maybe ireland and wales before i go. my parents and brothers are staying until june or july. when i return to auckland i am going to stay with andy who will help me move into o'rorke hall of residence.

at the moment our house is a complete mess as we are trying to get it ready for the family who will be staying in it, and cos we have to pack all our stuff up to put away and to take to england.
