Another day sitting at work, watching the clock, counting down the days, hours, minutes until I leave and jet away to Canada for three months of exploring (does getting horrifically lost, wondering around streets count as exploring?)
It’s still a couple of months before I can hand in my notice and then another month before I can leave, but fingers crossed the 13th of July will creep up fastest then a formula one driver on his final lap.
‘Oh, I wouldn’t go on my own’, seems to be the reaction I get from most people, but what the hell, you only live once right? And I fully intend to give my dreams a good go! Knowing me I’ll get there decide that I hate sharing a room, sharing a bathroom will disgust me and the thought of all my gorgeous shoes sitting at home will cause me pure agony.
But now’s the time to say sod it and go for it! I’ve talked about travelling Canada for years and saved up all my spare monies to be able to do so.
Thinking about arranging where to stay in the first instance, how to get there and what to take seems to be a mammoth task in itself. Three months of stuff needs to be packed into a bag that I consider just about big enough for a weekend away!
Ok hands up, I do usually completely over pack and two weeks away often requires a suitcase that I can’t lift! So time to cut down and be logical… what do I really need to take? The theory I’m working on is if it rolls up small then I can pack it.
Good luck to me!
