What have I done so far:
Booked international flights
Booked some accommodation in San Fransisco and New York
Sent off my paperwork for bank account and insurance number
Booked domestic Aus flight
Booked domestic US flight (what a bloody drama that was!)
I've only repacked twice (Proud of me Trisha!?)
What I still need to do:
Work on Australia day public holiday so I get loads more cash
Train new person replacing me in one day
Get all excited about seeing the Spice Girls!
Rearrange my Good Morning America ticket
See if I can get tickets to the Late Show
Ditto Spamalot
Find my umbrella
Take pack to chemist and get it weighed
Get yummy corn things for my flight
Clean out my room so it's not a tip for Mum and Bob
Things I've learnt:
Book through Travelocity not Expedia!! Even the Australian arm of Expedia is hopeless.
The time is ticking away. As I woke up this morning (read: slept through alarm again) I had a slight moment of panic after thinking mid stretch "As of 2nd February, I can sleep in!". The moment of panic was "Shit, what if I miss my 7am flight!". I know I won't, I know from experience that if I have something that I'm looking forward to I sleep really lightly that night and am awake and ready to go about 10 mins before my alarm is due to go off. I'm more worried about getting Toby out the door at 5.45 (thank you for taking me to the airport!).
Everything will go smoothly. Even if it doesn't it just adds to the story. I'll be on holiday, I refuse to get pissed off when I should be enjoying myself. But fingers crossed that they over book the flight and I get bumped, preferably into first class on the next flight. See, it's in writing now, so that when I'm screaming blue murder about having had to sleep in a dingy room for 2 days because I volunteered to be bumped you can all say "I told you so"! I'm so generous to you all :P
Last weekend in Aus for awhile. Australia day weekend - how appropriate. Drinking, golfing, lasrer tagging, gossiping and a Sunday morning Maccas run with the girlywinks. I'm going to miss my girls dreadfully when I'm away, I know I'll meet awesome people along the way, although I doubt they will have the song writing abilities of my girls :P
