The date is finally here, January 10th,
the day i leave England for 4 months. Naturally I am slightly nervous to
be leaving family and friends but am excited about whats on the other
side.
The flight will be a challenge in itself having never been on a
flight for longer than 5 hours but I'm sure the free toothbrush and
earplugs will get me through.
Having said goodbye to a teary eyed Mother in the morning i set
off to Heathrow with my Dad. Having set off extra early just in case
there was traffic me and my Dad sat down in a cafe. I thought i would
get into the spirit so i had a chicken tikka sandwich for breakfast
before meeting another gapper, Tom, before getting on the flight.
Then it was time; i said goodbye to a not so teary eyed Dad and went off into the unknown...
