Seven Words

27 Mar

It wasn’t sitting at a travel agent’s desk that made it real.

It wasn’t seeing my printed itinerary that made it real.

It wasn’t paying $500 towards the cost of my flight that made it real.

It wasn’t walking away from the travel agent with a print off outlining my flight times.

It was chatting to Best on gmail, who said to me “You have your MOVE TO EUROPE BOOKED”.

HOLY SHIT

I have….I have booked it! I am moving countries! Me! Boring Jen who does ordinary things is moving to LONDON. I know exactly what time I am leaving, I know which flight number I am going on! I suspect this might be the crash back into reality I had been desperately hoping for.

I am tempted to run into the middle of our street and scream with elation, but I am lazy and I fear our neighbours may not be quite as excited as I am.

Want to know the most effective way to prepare for a stint in the Outback? Book a one way ticket out of the country. It does the job nicely!
