and we're off.....

Well, today's the day!



We're all checked in and ready to go! We're currently sat in departures at Heathrow Terminal 4 making full use of the free WiFi! 45 minutes for free, what a bargin.


Norman's ready for his flight too.... so Rachel, Norman and I will catch you on a different continent!

Ciao for now!

The Final Countdown

So, with 4 days to go until we embark on what I'm sure will be the adventure of a life time, we are sorting out the final bits and bobs. Mum's pestering about sun cream, Rachel can't sort out her cash card and I'm chilling with a glass of wine.
We've got our bags, walking boots and waterproofs and we can't wait to get to Malaysia. A 4 stay stop in KL  where we hop to explore the city before we fly across to Malaysian Borneo where we will be on a tour which takes us in to the Jungle, to the coast as well as to the city of Kota Kinabalu. Keep an eye on the page for an update of KL and Borneo! We'll be telling you our favourite places and little gems we've found on the way.

Oh and I have an introduction........... Meet Norman, our Mascot. He will be travelling with us and is also excited to see the sites.
 
Ciao For Now

48 Saturdays

Me and My Sister will be going travelling in September 2014 and this is an account of our experiences, antics and a place where we can share some of our memories and even share some of the hidden gems we find with you.


Being a third year at university I was studying hard in the Library yesterday when a friend of mine announced it was 47 weeks until graduation. This is a terrifying thought but it does mean it's 48 weeks until me and Rachel embark on the biggest adventure of our lives (so far). Before we go I have a 9000 word Dissertation, and 4 other modules to complete and the task of earning enough money to get me there. 

What's the plan?
London to Bangkok - 3 Days in Bangkok
                               
Bankok to Chiang Mai  - 4 Day Elephant Trek 

Chiang Mai to Auckland - THE WORLD IS OUR OYSTER!

Once we get to Auckland we plan to eventually get jobs in Auckland and save up for a few weeks before travelling to the very north of the North Island. 

That's where we are at the moment! Catch up with you soon
