... br>All being well we'll have managed to cram our worldly possessions into a combined 155 litres of rucksack without too many arguments over whether Clarins Face Products are classed as "essential" and also with a bit of luck our baggage will have made it's way onto the same aeroplane as us : ) and we'll be winging our way to London, next stop Bangkok! <br><br>A&amp;Px<br>

After 3 years of saving we are finally set to go travelling to Eastern and Southern Africa. We will arrive in Uganda and head to Kenya, Tanzania, Malawi, Mozambique, South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Victoria Falls and possible Madagascar before flying back in June 2010.

... off with my experience as a student representative for the physics department. I must state here don&#8217;t be proud of this achievement I was the only student studying for the whole year and I got suckered into it. I am not a super over-achiever just a victim of the system. However, I decided since I am one of their first reps I was going to make the most of it and be helpful by suggesting a few things for introductory week. This ...

... control, security checks, a 'secure' bus ride from Terminal 3 to Terminal 1, more security checks... until we were spat out where BMI had left us waiting for our Air NZ flights a month ago. We swapped our Virgin-issued boarding cards for BMI-issued ones at the transfer desk and it wasn't long before we were down at gate 8, which seems to consist of multiple actual gates leading to various BMI aircraft. About 30 mins from flying ...

... and see the two cathedrals. We walked a lot. We had a Chinese buffet, and got a bus back. Wed 12th August Ken from King Arthur, had noticed that his confirmation said the onward journey to the docks was scheduled for Thursday 12th August. We had noticed work being done on the Stanley locks the day before, with the area roped off, so we wondered why we had not been contacted if there was a delay. We phoned the office and left a message to be called back. We had a look at the locks ...

... or "city centre" as the locals call it here to Matthew Street "home of the Beatles"!!! It was really neat to see. It's basically a shrine of the Beatles and if you're into the band you get an eerie feeling about the area thinking that the band members have walked on the same cobble stone street that you're standing on that very moment (wink wink Grandma Susie ...

... enough, when I at seats around mine, there was flour residue on a good number of seats. hahaha. So I got to Liverpool. I started making my way towards (what I thought was, and told by a train station employee) the right way to Dara's place. OMG, A HUGE HILL.

... shelter in the roundabout and the barber shop are all still there and open for business should anyone desire. The childhood homes of the fab four were also a very special treat. The tour ended at the Cavern and Neil made good on his promise of a pint for all. He also shared ...

Well here we go, the first entry in what will hopefully be of many. Im not actually going anywhere just yet though so don't be getting too excited. Two hours I spent in the local library trying to sort out my working holiday visa and Ill be honest I dont think some of the librarians took to well to my ventered anger on their computer keyboards. Maybe what made it worse was that ...
