So excited... Only 8 days til we leave Melbourne, cross the wide wide expanse of Australia, then the deep ocean of... well, whatever one it is, across Malaysia to Kuala Lumpur. Then continuing to Bangkok :) Dad and I are so eager to get there, it's all we're talkin about. I think my partner and Mum are getting really sick of us. But they're just jealous ;) sun, sand, surf, new people, religion, food and a culture steepd right back in history. I get shivers just thinkin about it! Have just bought the last of my stuff: waist wallet, sunscreen, aerogard and the ever important tissues... Oh, and am filling my iPod (I got a new 5th gen nano for Xmas) with music, as much as I can afford anyways :) still, it's all worth it. Almost there, will write when I am :) xo
