So today it is 12 sleeps until I leave for Canada! Tickets are here, seats are booked and travel insurance is organised. But there is still so much to do!!
It still doesn't feel real to me that I am actually going in less than 2 weeks.... even with all the paperwork here, overflowing suitcases in my bedroom, farewell event posted on Facebook, and accommodation arranged for the first couple of weeks. I think it probably won't even seem real when Amy and I are standing there in front of each other at the airport!
So for those not in the know, here is how the first part of my trip is going to pan out (after this bit it is all an adventure and who knows what will happen)!!
On Thursday October 14th I will fly out to Auckland at 11.30am. That flight will only be 4hrs and 15 mins. I then spend an hour in Auckland (time to walk to the transfer gate) and board my flight to Vancouver, which is 13hrs and 15 mins. Not too long, I seem to recall my trip to London being a lot longer than that. I arrive in Vancouver on the 14th of October at 1.15pm. So I arrive only 2 hours after I leave Adelaide despite being on a plane for 19 and a half hours! Weird.
When I arrive in Vancouver I will be staying with my friend Amy who lives about an hour-ish out of the city. And then from November.... anything is possible!
I do have a working visa so I am planning to get a job as soon as possible. I don't really care what I do at least for the first few months, just anything that pays money. I have to get a medical done once I arrive if I want to be able to work with children, so I plan on doing that pretty soon after I get there.
I am SO excited and SO nervous and cannot wait to get there!! Now back to packing and sorting....
