Our first stop, Sri Lanka.. We will be staying away from the North and North East, due to the issues with the Tamil Tigers but we are hoping to cover as much of the Sri Lanka as possible in just under 3 weeks that we will be staying for before we fly to Travandum, South India.
So every thing's coming along nicely, believe it or not we finish work in just 9 Weeks time and I couldn't be happier! I have worked since I was 12 with my family business and never taken anytime out..not even when I was in school. It's my turn now to enjoy a year off and well deserved it is (Even if I do say so myself!).
The pile of travel equipment is slowly getting bigger and our progress with travel plans are coming along swimmingly, most recently we booked a hostel with Hostelworld.com for when we arrive in Sri Lanks...very cheap site and they have a fantastic reputation to go with it. We land in Colombo, Sri Lanka on 2nd April 2010 in the early hours of the morning after flying for nearly 24 hours including our stop in Doha, Qatar.
First of all though we officially finish our main jobs on the 5th March 2010 and then leave on the 8th March 2010 to travel around the UK saying Goodbye to our nearest and dearest! For anyone that ever fancies travelling around the UK a great tip is to book well in advance. A great company to use is The Mega Bus if you book far enough ahead (3 months or so) you can even find free tickets to places! Daniel and I have managed to find some free seats on our journey from Gloucester to London, Victoria! Worth a look :)
Anyway I better check my Ebay sales for Party Animal and then have a nice relaxing bath while I imagine how my first days in Sri Lanka's going to be! I can't stop dreaming.....
