January 2nd 2013 countdown to OZ

Today I have started the blog still having trouble with the layout but I will keep playing with it. Yesterday I booked the flight to Adelaide I can't believe this is really happening. My wonderful sister Debbie her partner DJ and my niece Lisa have all chipped in to pay for the fair amazing!!!.
Mum and dad have given me some spending money as I was doing this trip on a shoestring lol so very happy about that.
I am going to countdown the days and report all the prep and post pics too, this trip is huge for me at this time I have had such a miserable time in the last 4 years.
 I moved back to Burry Port this summer after living in a caravan for 2 years in a pretty ghost town called Pendine in Carmarthenshire. The first thing was the Internet getting the broadband was heaven and I started to Skyp with Deb,now we talk 3 times a week at least, it's amazing it's like having her in the room.
I started a sort of diet before Christmas and a work out program to help me prepare for my first knee replacement op later this year, needless to say it has gone by the wayside for a few days, now I have to work off my dads cooking :) first hour long work out this morning broke a sweat and probably worked off about 3 calories :( but i will keep going. I don't jump on the scales I just try on clothes and start to fit into them so I will post about my jeans next time.  

I still have to sort out some of my travel arrangements I have to go to Heathrow by train from south Wales and then I have a 25 hour and 5 min journey to Adelaide with a 5 hour stop over in Singapore. The weather in Oz is 40 plus degrees and getting hotter omg!!! the sun I have forgotten what that feels like.
I have picked my suitcase it is busting out at the moment but Deb and I going to have a session on Skype to reduce it and I am sure we will break it down a few times before I am ready to finally close it.
So that's it my friends for my first post I hope you follow me on this journey have a great night.

Sherry Namaste :)
