Hellloooo!!! Welcome to the first blog on our site. The flights are booked, the backpacks been bought and the trip is looming ever closer. 3 weeks and 5 days to be exact. Had a problem buying tickets today as bank refused to let me make a transaction on my card but after much arguing, shouting and swearing at the poor woman in Natwest we finally accepted defeat and had to try and pay with two seperate cards (much to the travel agent's annoyance). Am getting really excited now. Booking the hotel on Monday. We've decided on the lebua Hotel. Got a deluxe suite with balcony and we're gonna have a meal in Sirocco, the hotels roof-top al fresco restaurant. AAAAAAAARRRGGGHHH!!! so excited!!!
