Well I started this blog, with much gusto. I genuinely had the best of intentions of providing my family, friends and colleagues with a running updates on my feeling and attitude to the forthcoming trip. However, a very busy work schedule and lots of training ended up taking over my life rather than this blog. Though, I promise to make every effort over the next few months to keep this updated!
Work is out…
When we first had the opportunity to take this trip, we both thought that 6 months would be the most we could go for, hoping that we would both have jobs to come back to. Though, things haven’t worked out like that and we’ve both resigned from our jobs.
Leah finished work last week, which was a pretty emotional time for her. 8 years in a job that you quite like is a long time, especially when you build up a large group of friends.
I thankfully finished work today. I have, at times enjoyed the last year in my job but finishing today didn’t actually bring the relief that I thought it would, more an emptiness that I didn’t expect. I guess I no longer have work to hide behind! Perhaps they’ll have me back when we return…
All that’s left for to me to do is wash some clothes, make sure my iPod is full and start getting my sh*t together.
I now have one week of saying good bye, sorting things out, having a few beers with some good mates and spending the rest of the time stopping myself crying (Yes – I know I’m a big girl…)
Our families are up to no good so I’m sure that they’ve got something organised for us both too.
For the first time in weeks, I can actually say I’m excited. There’s been lots of Machu Pichu on the telly with Fern Cotton and Denise Van Outen to Karl Pilkington and An Idiot Abroad. I actually feel like I’ve been there so that’s quite reassuring and is making me less apprehensive.
Anyway, that’s enough from me… More interesting updates to follow in two weeks time!
