It's certainly been a long time since I updated this journal. Perhaps that's because this is a travel journal and I haven't been doing very much travel at all recently.
The past few months have been mind numbingly tedious in their monotony. Moving back to London was a good idea, as it has left me open to see more of the small amount of friends I have here, and also to see more of London and surrounding areas. But it simply isn't enough to quench my thirst for a challenge and for travel.
However, that is all about to change with the recent development of my British passport being approved! This means I can leave the country in possession of a golden return ticket, safe in the knowledge that I will be let back through the border.
So, I am currently making plans to visit Guatemala and some of southern Mexico. I am also looking in to the possibility of going to Costa Rica for a few days, although it is just a thought at the moment.
After all of the stress and boredom of simply WAITING for my British passport, I finally have a project to sink my teeth in to. I'm happily organising and booking my flights, checking visa status', making lists, checking dates and details and allocating funds. I can't wait for the trip.
I'll be leaving in early July (only two weeks away) and I'll return to England in early August in order to start job hunting. I'm not going to have a huge amount of pre-booked or organised plans and travel routes, although I am making sure I am prepared.
One of the best things about the trip is that I will be seeing my best mate, Alex and her boy friend Morgan, there. It will be so good to see them. It will also be fantastic to be on this trip for my 25th birthday in late July. :)
