My visa application was made on 27th of April so for it to have come through this fast is great news! I wasn't able to submit it much earlier due to the list of accompanying documents to go with it... mind you I was slow at getting a hold of them. It's been holding me up on doing the major things like paying for my flight, travel insurance and setting up a UK bank account, although it didn't stop me quitting my job 2 weeks ago... hehe!
Okay so this is the first post where I'm suppose to be way over excited and barely able to contain myself, right? Errr.... kinda...? Let's do a quick status check:
- Passport - *Complete*
- UK Working Holidaymaker Visa - *Complete* (As of today)
- Flight Booking - 50% (Deposit taken)
- Travel Insurance - 50% (Picked one - Unpaid)
- Necessary Funds - 100%
- Packing - 5%
- Goodbye's to Friends / Family - 5%
- Necessary items sold (here) - 10%
- Functioning Blog System - 80%
- UK Bank Account (Difficult to obtain) - 0%
- Accommodation - 100% (Thanks Sami!)
- Job in UK - 100% (Thanks again Sami!)
I've worked quite hard on getting this blog functioning in time and I think it'll pay off! I'm able to post to it anywhere in the world with pictures from my mobile phone using Flickr! Pretty geeky but it'll make for a great way to blog as I travel.
There's also a Google map showing the places I've been. It's pretty freaky the detail of the maps... try zooming into the pointer for my home. I set it to "Dee Why Beach" and lets just say you can see the waves!
And then there's my music. It's so much a part of me and I think it says a fair bit about me, so I've included a few details powered by Last.fm.
Hopefully I can find a few more gadgets to add before I go!
That's enough for tonight. I even managed to squeeze in one last shift for SeaChange Cafe today.
