More money spent!

I seem to be spending a lot of money lately! Today we bought 4 things from the travel agent.

1. London Travel Card, which gives us unlimited travel in zones one and two for three days.

2. London Eye Pass, self explanatory surely!

3. London Pass, which gives us free entry into a whole bunch of touristy places

4. Jack The Ripper Tour! Ooooohhh scary!!!! Leaves from the Royal National Hotel which is just around the corner from where we are staying.

And I spent $91.00 on other travel necessities. Oh well, it's all for a good cause, right? :-)

Driving Miss Crazy

Miss Crazy? That would be me of course! As for the driving part, that of course is referring to the fact that I am now legally allowed to drive on overseas roads. I applied for my international drivers licence . Scary thought really!! It's really big, much larger than I thought it would be. It's a booklet, not a card. Odd.

30 days to go

Like I said, there are 30 days until Scott and I jet off into the unknown.

I just want to be on that plane, flying away from the known, the familiar.

Contiki Stuff!!!!!

I dropped in at the YHA travel to see if our Contiki documents were ready on Monday. Our travel chick told me that they usually don't come out til about 2 weeks before we leave. So I thought, oh well, that'll be ages away. But Scott got a call on Wednesday saying that the documents were in. YAY! So we collected them. It's suddenly very real that we will be going on a tour around Europe. But I am really looking forward to it. And the whole alcohol thing really doesn't bother me. I have heard that Contiki tours are just excuses to drink a lot, but it doesn't interest me.

We are leaving the country. I am scared, excited, worried, thrilled, all of these emotions are running through me. But I guess that's normal, right?

Not much of an update really

Helloo. There really isn't much to say here, but I thought I would write something just so all of those who read this can have a new entry to read!

Scott and I are getting very excited about our trip. We are planning what we will do in London in the first few days we are there. We wil buy a London Pass thing, which gives us free entry into heaps of London attractions. And we will go on a "Jack the Ripper Tour". This basically involves walking around the streets of London looking at murder sites. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO (play scary music).

While in London for the first few days, we have to go get our bank cards etc from Regent Street. So we will spend the first day just wandering around I think. It's the best way to see a place really! I am looking forward to walking around a strange city with someone special at my side. :-)

An Update, of sorts

Hi! I have been meaning to update for a few weeks now, but every time I go to update, nothing interesting comes to mind, so I log out and don't bother. But I have some news today that I will share with the world. Our Contiki tour of 21 days is ALL PAID OFF!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe it! It has been 3 months or so paying it off. I remember being stressed about booking it, whether there were going to be any places on the tour left etc. But it's all booked and paid for! So... alcohol-filled three week tour through 10 European countries here we come!

Scott and I both opened UK bank accounts, so we will have spending money over there, as well as have somewhere for our employer to put our pay. Always a good idea I say. I just feel really poor at the moment. Although, I guess that's due to the fact that we had to open the account with a minimum of 1500 pounds, and given the exchange rate, it's little wonder I feel so poor! Oh well, all in the name of fun right?

I updated my "To Do" list, which seemed to get longer when I re-wrote it. Oh well, as long as I get it all done, right?

The pub interview went really well, better than I expected really. The guy we spoke to was lovely, and really gave us a picture of what life over there will be like. We have asked to go into a pub out of London, just so we can say we have been to the UK rather than just London. I think a country pub would be nicer anyway, in terms of people, and facilities. I may yet be proven wrong on that point, but I have to wait until the 22nd of November to find out.

6 WEEKS TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pub Thing

Scott and I put in our applications for the Work in a Pub thing. We put in online applications which was good really. We were contacted by email today, and we have an interview on Wednesday. Oh my god!!!!!!! I am rather nervous about the interview thing. I hope we get in, I really do. Then I will be able to relax about the job thing. I will keep y'all posted!! :-)

Bank Account

I filled out all the forms etc for the bank account yesterday. I provided all the correct identification. I had the bank cheque. But I forgot to sign one thing. Dammit! So I have to head into Travelex tomorrow and sign one last thing. Then it will be all good. So I can almost cross it off my list, but not quite.
