My fiancé Sara and I get married Aug ’03 and we thought, in reality this is the best if not only opportunity to do this. I don’t want to wake up 45 years old, regretting not doing it.
Just the unknown. I keep telling myself the whole world is made of 99% nice “normal” people, and if it does all goes wrong it’s only £500 and 24 hours to get home.
Everyone is supportive, most say they wish they had done it and that they can’t do it now (Not sure why).
Winged it a lot
I have no idea. Taking a first aid kit, tent, clothes and I think that’s it.
It will just be nice to get away with Sara and just be ourselves, whoever that may be.
I will only only begin to find out once I’m on the plane.
I don’t. I think we are very fortunate to have the savings and lack of commitments to just swan off for 10 months.
That planning it is a military operation. We only know what we’re doing for the first week and then the flight times.
I don’t like travelling, I get travel-sick! I do like being in different places though. I hope this will bring me closer to strangers and know that it is up to us to make the best of it.
Don’t take advice from me. If you really are thinking about it, do something really positive towards it, i.e. hand in your notice/book the tickets and set the date. Then just deal with it
