Lassie Faire not the best approach to travel planning

Wow, so on Friday I found out that the UK High Commission is, as of 4 weeks ago, no longer doing same day Visa processing. What does that mean I hear you all shout? Well it means that I'm now have to wait 15 working days for my Visa to arrive.

With a 5^th of May departure already book. That would mean my Visa will arrive 5 working days after I was meant to fly out. Perhaps not the best plan in the world to leave it to the last minute.

So now I 'm flying out on May 22nd. But Beef Strudel is still on and I'm looking forward to seeing you there.

4 More Days of Work and Countng

Well here it goes the first of many blogs, that I hope will document my travels around the world. I guess it is a bit silly to start writing before I even leave the country but I feel like the preparation could be just as interesting as travel.
