My mate, Matthew Fergusson just flew out of Heathrow - hes doing exactly the sam thing as me, just 4 weeks earlier. He’s got a site here - www.matthewfergusson.me.uk which should be all wordpressed up soon and serve as his travel blog.

Matt decided to jack his job in and just go - then he told me his plans and I thought it was such a good idea that I ought to do it as well. We should be meeting up in Auckland for a few beers in about 4 weeks or so :-), 12000 miles away from where I am typing now.

Somehow seeing his flight go has brought it home to me that I go pretty soon, Nervous but exited!
