Prepping and Researching

I think I'm near my peak level of prepping for this trip to Europe. I've bought the last few things I've been wanting for a while and now it's time to just refocus and get through the next two months. Gotta save save save some more and be ready for whatever comes my way.

I've researched different Sim cards and ways to pack your bags, different carry ons and the ways to avoid jetlag. I've done in-depth research on lounge passes, asked bunches of questions about currency conversion and sought travel advice.

I've paid more and more off of my trip and now only have about $500 to go. Definitely doable now. Needs to be paid fully by the 22nd May.

I've printed photos for the wall and cut out the names of the cities I'll be visiting in coloured paper. It looks great. I know when I get back from my trip, I'll have actual photos that I will have taken up on the wall.

The vision is getting closer to being a reality. I've wanted to travel for the longest of times. It's not only a relief to be finally going but a true blessing too.

Two months, nine days to go.

I'm looking forward to seeing my Le Long whanau on both sides of the trip. The whanau in England and the whanau in the Channel Islands.

I now need to practice packing and await my new purchases from Wish and the states. :) So incredibly excited.
