New Zealand 2014

So one of my list items on my B425 List is to travel. I said that if I could make it to Canada, America, Australia or New Zealand I'd be happy. New Zealand is the place that I want to visit the most. I was hoping to make it to New Zealand last summer and I didn't for various reasons. Will I make it this year? Well, perhaps but I do have other travelling planned for the summer at the moment. Perhaps I could travel to New Zealand in the winter. You know, when it's winter here but warm in New Zealand. That could be fun. The only problem is that I'm absolutely terrified of air travel. I had a small but unpleasant panic attack last year on a flight to Cyprus. I managed to shut myself up by telling myself "Hey, if I die, I die but I guess there's some hope. Once we're up in the air if I still feel nervous I'll order myself a Bloody Mary..."

I'm really excited about potential travel later this year and now that I can blog from my phone you can bet I'll be taking you along too.

Exciting stuff.

Today I got my first paycheck from the new job.
I'd forgotten how good it feels to earn money. Whilst living in Huddersfied I applied for many jobs over the course of three years and couldn't find anything. I travel South, walk into a building and asked if they were hiring. It just so happened they had just had a staff member leave and practically hired me on the spot. I held my paycheck the way Gollum held the One Ring.
My preciousssss....
The exciting part is that now, if I were to book 6 months in advance, I actually have enough to cover my flights to and from New Zealand! I've wanted to go to New Zealand for more than half of my life. Though I probably wouldn't travel until next year I'm very excited. Hope you've all had a good day.
