Booking the tickets

So far this week I have spent £1500 on a ticket, packed up Clare's belongings into many heavy boxes (I blame the shoes!), carried said heavy boxes, resigned from work....and freaked out a little bit!
Now comes the hard part...the intricate details of planning the trip! We have the flights booked and an estimate of how long we're staying each country but as for how we're doing things and where's good to go, we're a bit clueless...I like to think of it as being a blank canvas, in that we will have a clearer idea once we are....wherever we are at that point in time.
Also, a determined effort in fund management has been implemented! No more going out randomly after work....no more takeaways...no more taxis! I will have money, I will have money I will have money! Although I would LOVE some secret benefactor to come along and help me out....or to win the lottery! Not too much, I'm not greedy. Just enough to make life a little simpler and less stressful. Maybe I'll add a little paypal button so any donations can be lodged easily??! Maybe that's just wishful thinking!
So.....the next steps:
Wednesday 4pm - a visit to the nurse who will pump me full of vaccines and over charge me for malaria tablets!
Sometime this week - arrange travel insurance
1st March - fly to Belfast and see my family with Clare and try not to let them get too scared.
Sometime in between - have a leaving party!
21st/25th March - leave work for good! Clare leaves Newcastle to go home to London
25th/26th March - leave Newcasle to go and stay in London until departure
PACK!
31st March - Go to Heathrow and fly to Singapore!
