Go go go!

Woohoo!  Plane ticket!

Check it out! I have the green light from Israel! Flights are booked. I am off on the 14th of this month. Time for 10 days of chaos running around trying to get organised. Exciting! 

Just as I had started thinking there was no chance of me getting out there before November came around the Kibbutz agency emails me to say can you get here before the 15th October?!  

I had even started looking around for a back up plan, after my GP  had refused to write me the letter the agency had been asking for regarding my Measles outbreak back in 2011.  My doctor said it was an unnecessary letter as it was so long ago and refused to write one.  I thought this was pretty mean seeing as I would be the one paying for it.   Luckily my ingenious mother came up with the idea of calling up the UK Health Protection Agency to see if they could help out. A link to the national measles guidelines and 5 days later, waiting for a response to my email, we are sorted!   

Time for a to do list:

• Buy some shorts that don't have a big gapping hole in front of them. (busted the seam playing capoeira after a few beers)  
• Buy some travel insurance
• Packing and re-packing when backpack is too heavy or everything inevitably doesn't fit in.
• Check medical supplies are sufficient.  
• Decide whether to take musical instrument with me and or which one.  Guitar or Berimbau?
• Get a kindle and fill it with some books.  Book swapping wasn't very easy on the road in China. 
• Visit sister in Edinburgh before I go.

That's all for now.

   

I am also looking forward going to see this tonight! Will be watching in the Dr Who style trench coat I just purchased for a bargain 9 pounds.
