The adventure is about to begin!!!

So.

I'm in Vietnam!

Wait, let me rewind a little.

My New Year's Eve celebrations were brilliant! It was really great having some of my closest friends with me to see the New Year in. We played games, had some drinks, ordered a Chinese, had a laugh, and chatted so much we missed the actual countdown to the start of 2014.

On New Year's Day, I spent lots of time going shopping for things I needed to take to Vietnam with my Mum, and later on, my Dad joined us. I needed odds and ends, such as toiletries, toiletries and more toiletries.

On the 2nd January, I spent my day shopping. Again. But this time I needed a new computer, as my laptop broke on New Year's Eve a few hours before my friends came round. I ended up getting the new laptop I wanted and needed eventually, after some negotiations were made regarding the old, broken laptop (which was only bought in November, so was only a few weeks old itself).  I then went to get some dollars, because yes, I leave everything to the last minute. Whether that be assignments, getting money or packing. Oh yeah, packing.

After my Mum and I eventually got everything I needed, we went home to start packing. What a feat that was!!!!! I knew I was taking my traveling rucksack, but I needed a suitcase as well. One was too big, one was too small and one was juuuuust right :)
My Mum ended up having to pack and repack 3 times before everything was eventually in the right places and weighing as close to the weight limit as possible.

I then had 'The Last Supper' which was yep, you guessed it, roast chicken! And my, what an amazing roast my Dad cooks!

Then I had my last Lush bubble bath for what is probably going to be a long time!
(What, you don't want to know about that? But this is a blog, and blogs are for writing down life changing events aren't they?)

There were still things for me to do after my bath of course, like fill in my visa form and pack my carry on bags (so much added pressure even that task is) and finish loading things onto my laptop!

And then it was time for bed!

Which is also what it is time for me to do now (it's 23.15). I know this entry has been a pretty boring read of my preparations to go to Vietnam, but I'm just wetting your appetite :)

Soon you will be able to hear all about what happened as I started going East!

But now I'll leave you with a picture and also a goodnight!
