Progress!

Alritey, sticking with the bullet points because I cannot be bothered to come up with anything new right now;
  • Visa - done
  • Insurance - done
  • Blog - done
  • Clothes/Shoe shopping - half done (got sum nifty walking booty things)
  • CV update (references) - half done (updated but stil need references)
  • Other random gear I'll need - half done (ordered some stuff but still need to sort the rest)
  • Traveller's checks, other monies - not done
  • Feeling I've done everything in my power to be prepared - not done
And I'm off to Sweden in two days for a very long weekend break, so, attempting to get some more things on that list green before I leave.

Found this company that are hiring Guides for their walks http://www.ultimatehikes.co.nz/ - looks like my kind of thing, although I'm dangerously under-qualified. Bearing that in mind am off to do a 2 day First Aid course with St John Ambulance before I leave. I just pray I dont have to give mouth to mouth to some rubber doll. Eeeep!

Pre-trip preparations

Well, looking at my mental checklist;

  • Visa - done
  • Insurance - done
  • Blog - done
  • Clothes/Shoe shopping - not done
  • CV update (references) - not done
  • Other random gear I'll need - not done
  • Traveller's checks, other monies - not done
  • Feeling I've done everything in my power to be prepared - not done
Hm. Got another 20 days to sort it all though I suppose.

Oh, welcome to the Blog :)
