Freaking out just quietly...

So it's down to the last minute stuff now. I still can hardly believe that in a little over a week I'll be on my way. After months of thinking about it, talking about it, planning, scrimping and saving, it's finally here...
So my accommodation for Africa is booked. I had the realisation the other night that I was going to actually be one of those people who steps off a plane and has someone standing there waiting for me with my name on a card... SO not me! But fun!
England is shaping up and Scotland is definitely on the cards. A three day tour taking in the Island of Skye should be so much fun. Oliver will be joining me for that one... Oh! and I won a Eurail Pass!!!!! Actually I won two! 3 countries, 5 days in 2 months! I found out today. Crazy stuff.
And I have the privilege of house sitting in LA! So many things have fallen into place for this trip. I wonder if God is looking forward to it as much as I am!

In other news, I had such a great birthday yesterday. I was so nice to sleep in a relax before a spot of shopping and a movie. After two long months of searching I finally found a pair of jeans. I had pretty much given up the search but on mum's encouragement tried on one more pair. So glad I did!

Then Thai for dinner - impossible to go wrong with that restaurant! And great company... I'm looking forward to catching up with most of the family next Sunday for a great time to hang out and spend time before I go! Ok, so freaking out once again...
