You may have noticed the blog has been renamed. This is in preparation for my upcoming travels (damned if I'll be bothered with such details from an internet cafe in Jaipur). I promise you, even though you may think its a marvellously witty name now (I know I sure did), after however many months it'll just become part of the background and you'll have forgotten the original title (whatever it was)...

Big News... I have booked my ticket. Now all that's left is getting the appropriate visas and officially deferring uni! Tell me this isn't unbelievable, my itinerary is Melbourne-Mumbai-Delhi-London-Helsinki-London-Santiago-Melbourne for $2100 + taxes (admittedly taxes are $500, but I still reckon that price is unbelievable). I'm booked to leave Melbourne on Friday the 11th of March so I'm going to miss our going away party (which Hana plans to have on the 12th)... It just means you're gonna have to say goodbye to me at my 21st. And if you're a bad friend (like Jo) and can't make my party then I may or may not see you in about 12 months... For those who are interested, this is the tour I've booked in India: http://www.intrepidtravel.com/tripnote.php?code=HSG&validity=1/1/2005... I'll also have a couple of days at either end in Mumbai and Delhi, so the plan is (amongst other things) to get a suit tailored.. (very exciting, I know).

Anyway, its all very exciting and be sure to check back soon to see how I'm going.
