Not Long Now!

With just over three days to go I'm starting to panic that I have forgotten or will forget something. I'm constantly having stressful dreams about arriving without my passport or forgetting something crucial, like all my clothes. I think this should stop when I have actually arrived at my destination, or at least eased.

I got a free international sim card with my travel insurance, the prices are better than using my existing carrier by far. However, it may be better to buy a prepaid sim card when I get there and just top it up as I go, I'm thinking this is going to be the cheapest option but if I can't find or am not able to use a sim bought over there then I will just use he one I have got... better safe than sorry.  I have made sure Skype is on all my devices to call home when wifi is available. I can also use Google Hangouts and Facebook Messenger for chatting as well. 

I have put a lot of audio books on to my phone, so I should have plenty to do in between all the exploring and site seeing. 

I hope to blog all my adventures, I will share them to Facebook so keep an eye out if you are keen to on being updated about my time away. Hopefully there will be enough wifi where ever I will be going.

Australians Travelling International - Spending

It's been three years since I first made my way overseas, since then I have been to 12 countries (in September it will be 13), to say I have the travel bug is an understatement, I have the travel disease. I never have any annual leave saved anymore, opting to spend it every chance I get on international destinations. My most returned to destination has been Florida, USA. Mainly because I have made the most amazing friends there, I never thought playing video games could make this kind of connection! After all this I feel I'm more experienced in providing feedback and ideas on spending whilst away. I mentioned some options in a previous post and I want to update my suggestions 28 Degrees MasterCard 28 Degrees mastercard has been my go to spending card at all my destinations so far. I can use it anywhere mastercard is accepted (I haven't been to a place that doesn't accept it). You need to be really strict! or face the high interest charges. I always load it up...

London

26/4/2015 - 29/4/2015 London We left Glasgow on the overnight train at 11pm, the room was cramped but the beds were comfortable. We arrived in London at 6:45am the next morning, 15 minutes earlier than they had said, there are times when running late is ok. We left our bags at the Royal Eagle Hotel in Paddington and then caught the subway back into the city for some general touristy stuff. We got to hear and see Big Ben chime the hour, we took a river cruise on the Thames and took a bunch of pictures around the place, well I didn't as my phone ad gone flat and my camera was in my suitcase  back at the hotel. I blame the train for arriving early for that. Had i had that extra 15minutes I would have been more switched on :oP. We returned to the Hotel for a freshen up and recharge some phone batteries  and then headed to the London Bridge to do the London Bridge Dungeon  Tour. It was a good experience, not scary but well acted. After this we decided t...
