5 SLEEPS AND LOTS OF TEARS :(

F*#k i never ever thought that I would get to 5 sleeps 4 days this quickly. Each day is getting harder to get through without tears. I honestly don't know how I'm gonna do it come Saturday night when I say see ya to my babies. I cant even think about it without tearing up. I'm totally freaking out. I know its only 107 days without them but to me that's forever. Cant write anymore now I feel sick just writing this. I'm gonna miss everyone so much. All I can say is that I will definitely be needing a Kerry and Max hug as soon as I get to London. Wish me luck over the next 4 1/2 days, I know I can do this, just gotta pull up my big girl Jox as Bex said and run with in. After all whats 107 days in the big scheme of things (That's what I have to keep telling myself anyway) Oh well maybe next time I'm on here i will be sitting in the airport waiting to Board my plane to London via LA. Till then see ya.

13 DAYS TO GO - YIKES

Far out less than 2 weeks now. I cant believe its just around the corner. I`ve had a very productive weekend, i brought everything I'm gonna need for the first few weeks, threw things into my suitcase so now its just a matter of fine tuning my selection. Who would have thought that that would be so hard! Oh well its`s pretty much done so now just time to chill, relax and just enjoy the next 13 days with the boys & time to get in as many cuddles and kisses as I can possibly get :-D Next entry and i will be into single figures! It just seems like yesterday i got out of triple digits. Until then see ya :-)

OMG!!!!! HOW AM I GOING TO SURVIVE?????

17 Days to go ............ and look what i get sent to me.  This pic above is just awesome.

How am I going to survive when all i have to contend with for 13 weeks is views like this?????

If it wasn't for family and friends I would never come home, I would be lost to the world forever.

Oh well things are well n truly moving along at a speedy pace.  Got my travel card and loaded it up with 2000Euros and 500 pound.  That should get me through the first few weeks at least.  I tell you what these Travelcards are awesome and so easy to recharge when needed.

Tonight my homework is to organise my Visas for America for me, dad and the boys and also to get my insurance sorted.  Then all that's left is to just finish packing.

Ciao from the starting to get excited soon to be World Traveller xxx

THINGS TO KEEP ME BUSY WHILE IN LONDON

Well I gave Martine some homework to do, She was to go home and find interesting exciting things for me to do in 3 days in London.  The link below is what she came up with.  Looks like fun and alot of walking.  Gonna be lots of fun looking at the historical building, playing on statues, jumping in fountains and trying to get the dudes in the Buzzbe's to loose concentration.

Going through the list on the weekend and planning my London adventure. 

Until next time,  :)

24 DAYS TO GO .........

It's hard to believe I'm down to 24 days!!! I honestly didn't believe this would happen, thought like most times I would have some excuse to cancel. This proves that I am a totally different person than I was even just 6 months ago. I'm not only talking the talk I am now getting ready to walk the walk! I am starting to get excited now but getting sad that I only have 24 days left with my babies, my family, friends, the awesome friends at work and Melbournes miserable cold winter weather. Well that's one thing I really dont give a shit about leaving behind. The world is knocking on my door and I'm so close to opening it :) Now Martini I hope uve done ur homework, I'm counting in you ;) xxx

27 DAYS TO GO AND I WILL BE 1/2 WAY TO LONDON

Its so hard to believe that its less than a month now until i'm walking on Pommie soil.

Im going to be a little fish in a massive pond and everyday is going to start and end with new adventures, new people and some absolutely awesome amazing experiences.

Im quickly running out of time to do everything but in true Donna fashion things are always left to the last minute and things always work out perfect.  Why should this be any different ;)

Have to talk to a nice man tomorrow to find out what the best Tablet for me to buy would be, i'm thinking anything other than an iPad now as I need the USB ports which the iPad does not have.

So far I have the new camera and have had the photo shoot with the boys.  The checklist is getting smaller just like the countdown.

Anyways til next time, ciao from the Traveller (TO BE) xxx
