Goodbyes!

So I have time to do a quick post before I head off into the wilds of the world! It has been one hectic week! I spent most of the days running around sorting out visas and a tent and all that stuff and the evening spending time with everyone before I leave! My goodbyes took me to Roscommon, Meath and Kildare. My little cousins (and I use the term “little” with a touch of irony seeing as by the time I come back they will probably all have outgrown me!) in Roscommon gave me a little teddy to take on my travels to keep me company...no doubt you will see him featured in photos along the way!

I also managed to fit in a spot of bowling and Quasar which was great fun! Wish I hadn’t waited so long to give Quasar a go!! And I was on the winning team under golf rules so happy days all round (Sorry red team!! J) Other fun nights included Xbox fun with my other “little” cousins, a night which also featured a ridiculously large spider! There was also fun times in Navan with a cake being used to celebrate 3 occasions! Then there was dinners and lunches galore, a nice walk in Howth, a day in the city and of course the most epic of nights out!! The night started with drinks and only improved from there when the Party Bus pulled up! And party we did for an hour straight while driving around God knows where until we were dropped off at the Palace for dancing and hijinx! Of course all these fun times were tainted slightly by the inevitable tears that were choked back (and sometimes not so choked back!)  Saying goodbye was hard but as everyone keeps saying it’s not goodbye its “see ya later”!

So before I head off for my last sleep in my bed here is a rough idea of where I will be from one week to the next:

6^th – 20^th April UK, France, Germany, Czech Rep, Austria, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria

20^th April – 11^th May Turkey

11^th May – 25^th May Iran

25^th May – 1^st June Pakistan

1^st June – 15^th June India

15^th June – 6^th July Nepal

6^th July – 27^th July Tibet and China

27^th July – 3^rd August Laos

3^rd August – 17^th August Vietnam

17^th August – 24^th August Cambodia

24^th August – 7^th September Thailand

7^th September – 21^st September Malaysia & Singapore

21^st September – 5^th Oct Indonesia

5^th October – 19^th October Australia

Like I said, a rough guide but something to maybe help pin me down...to a Continent at least if not a country!

So on that note I will sign off and just say thank you to everyone who made the past couple weeks so much fun and really special (too many to name but you know who you are!). I truly will miss everyone! Will keep in touch as much as possible so watch out for updates!

Love Always
