I'm leaving on a jet plane..........

Go on you know you want to sing the title!!

Thought I better just send a quick note before I head off.

Have been keeping my blog up, just to vent a bit of stress, so you can find out what my past week or so has been like - a week like I never want to experience again!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway just in case I don't get to chat before I go - the day after tomorrow I will be on a plane leaving all my cares behind. To tell the truth so much has been happening it really doesn't seem real.

Quick update as I leave, I have let my house and am now lodging with my tenants. I know lots of you will think that's strange but having travelled and shared dorms with strangers (and a few strange people) it's fine. I am pleased that I am leaving without the house being empty.

Been busy catching up and saying goodbyes. David it was good to see you - but would you believe I fell asleep on the train going home! Went to see my family at the weekend. My cousin had arranged a get together and it was great to see everyone (thanks Janet) as it might be a couple of years until I see them again - although they could always come visit. Ehhh?????

Only the final, final bits of packing to do AND some guy in the shops the other day said just write and ask for extra baggage - so I did and now have 40kg. To tell the truth I am used to travelling light and don't think I can make this weight unless I sneak a mate in my bag - any volunteers?

Thought I would chill out the other night and do a bit more research on Nepal and found this http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/7263399.stm I only wanted to know what the weather is like - at least you can see where I will be on the map - Birgunj!!! Luckily it'sfrom last year so I am hoping it will be quiet when I get there.

So now just the final farewells, although I know you will all be in touch.
TTFN next message from Nepal - how exciting ;-)
