Because I’m excited about traveling but also starting to fret a bit about things I have to do before I go, I decided I’d share my load a little by telling you all what I have left to sort out. Those of you who are more experienced travelers than myself feel free to respond with anything you think I might need to remember to get/do that I may have overlooked.
- Go to the doctors to get my vaccinations and sleeping pills
- Sit my full license so I’m allowed to drive overseas (yes I know, shocking that I’m still on my restricted)
- Fix and then sell my car (any takers?)
- Ship my winter/work clothes over to London
- Get a new credit card so mine doesn’t expire a month after I leave NZ
- Open an HSBC bank account
- Get travel insurance
- Apply for my UK visa - which I excitedly discovered can now be done online
- Book my Bangkok accommodation – any suggestions Andrew?
- Buy a pack
Hmmm what else? I’m sure there is tons of other stuff I’ll need to buy but that’s a start. Ooo and I picked up my tickets a few days ago which made it all a bit more real actually having the words Auckland, Melbourne, Bangkok, London printed on a ticket in front of my eyes!!
Also, keep the 19th of Jan free for my birthday/leaving party. Anyone got any ideas for a venue/bar that will be able to accommodate an extra hundred odd people?
Less than 12 weeks to go….

It is amazing how quickly the list builds up, and similarly how quickly you can get through it when shortage of time requires you to do so..
re: the pack - get a macpac, even second hand they are well built and will last forever..
and trademe is your friend
