2 months to go - so much to do

So, this is finally happening. The 4 months unpaid holiday has been approved, jiihaa! Now there are lots of things to think about and organise, such as, where am I actually gonna go for a start! And this, I can tell you have been changing pretty much weekly.

What I have decided and booked and paid for so far are:

• Flights from Helsinki to Peking (27.10), Kathmandu to Bangkok (16.11) and Bangkok to Helsinki (22.2)
• Tibet Adventure from 30th October starting from Peking and ending up in Kathmandu on the 13th November.

My lovely friends Aku & Saara will be in Phuket, so I'll be spending the Xmas and NY with them. There are also other friends in Thailand from October to spring 2012, so I may be spending a few additional weeks there.

I've bought my travel insurance and I am in a process of getting the required travel vaccinations and OMG - I had no idea they are so damn expensive! But I suppose I rather pay a few quid now rather than end up catching polio or some horrific tropical disease whilst travelling.

All in all, I am ridiculously excited! But I keep on thinking there are still ages until I go. I have plenty of time to decide where i am going and to do my research about those places. But time flies and really, I should learn to be organised so that I can get the most of this.
