So it's a week and four days until I leave the UK. Today I completed the Race for Life which is 5km and I ran all the way! I'm really proud of myself, eventhough I know its not far but it's better than I've ever done before.

This week I've still got lots to prepare for for travelling. I want to see all of my friends propaerly before I go but it just isn't going to happen so I'm having a party on Friday. I know 4 months isn't actually that long but I'll miss everyone like mad!

Hugh and I are going to London on the 24th for a couple of days. We're going to see Midsummer Nights Dream at Shakespeare's Globe and look at lots of museums. My favourite hobby! Then on the 26th we're flying of to New York from Heathrow where Hugh, Alice and Tom will be staying for 10 days until lieaving me on my own to travel the rest of the way! Scary!

Anyway, I'm sure the next blog will be from the Big Apple so wish me luck!
