Getting Ready

Well, Its August and the money is practically saved. A plan of action created and a to do list drawn up. Hopefully this Thursday I'm off to buy the plane tickets. Its all coming together, after nearly a year of saving and excited expectation, I can, at last, see progress towards leaving the shores of these fair isles and venturing forth to the New World. Ill be staying with my friend Sam, who has claimed she is reinforcing the locks to her doors to keep 'the English out..again', so I may be sleeping on her porch. I'll pack an extra coat. A few other friends have shown interest in meeting up while I'm on my adventure. I hope I do manage to see them. My hopes are high and spirits good.
