So the journey is starting on Monday 6th November 2006, going from Heathrow to NYC(never been long haul before), staying in NYC for a bit then going to visit Washington to see the White House etc then off to Niagara Falls then jetting off to Vegas (where i hopefully wont lose all my money by gambling the whole lot) then catching the amtrak train to los Angelas, up to San Francisco to see Alcatraz then down to San Diego and Mexico and then back to LA where we fly out end of November to hit the lovely beautiful Cook Islands. Stay in paradise for 2 weeks going to do my deep sea diving(PADI Course) and hopefully start the tan! Then off to camp and drive(Well Jono has to drive) round New Zealand for 7 weeks where i will become an adrenaline junkie!!!! Going to do white water rafting, canyoning, swimming with dolphins and zorbing and god knows what else i will get myself into!!Then am off to China and hopefully japan (Konichi Wai) Wonder if i can get chicken satay and egg fried rice???? Next am going to travel round South East Asia where i will get to bamboo raft and sit on top of an elephants head and stroll through the jungle! Will prob starve as wont touch any of the nasty food and wont touch the toilets but am sure it will be wonderful! Then after ALL THAT am heading for Australia where am planning on working for a year or two! Well thats just giving you all an idea of my trip i will try and keep it as updated as i can BON VOYAGE!
