Warning! This post contains information!

That’s right - in stark contrast to previous posts; this one actually has info about my trip.

Firstly, I am leaving on the 19th August, arriving in London on the 20th. On the 22nd I am going on the following Contiki tour:

That is a lot of countries. By my count, I am visiting exactly 713.82 of them. They even invented new ones just for this trip! Well not quite, but Montenegro is pretty new and I am pleased they made the effort.

Once done (on Oct 5), I am going to work in London. This will either be for MSO New York (my current company) or some other well-funded pommy outfit. This will last about 6-9 months and will feature a few trips here and there. Then it is back home in time for the 2007 NZ summer!

Also I would like to mention that I'm not the only one going away. Amy is leaving about a week after me to study economics in Vancouver.

And when you think about it, that is a much bigger deal than my little sojourn. Not only will she be away for quite a few years, but she will actually be doing work! This is in start contrast to myself, who plans to do very little that is constructive and to not take long doing it.

So congratulations again Amy and all the best!
