So I’m now back dating posts as I’ve been so busy packing and getting ready for departure.

Yesterday I had my work leaving drinks, for the second time at the same company. It didn’t quite feel real as I’d done it before and it was nothing new. The same people saying they’ll miss me as well as new people too. I saw some old faces last night, past work mates who have become friends. It was very good seeing them as they were the old colleagues that I remember fondly of and really enjoyed my time working with them.

Shots were on table at my request (tequila my chosen poison), I mean I AM going to Mexico… suffice to say I got totally trashed. I managed to throw up, told a girl I had feelings for her and hardly chat to the people I really wanted to farewell to before I left. Damn tequila!

The last time I left I didn’t really get a chance to fully let go of work before starting the new job. I put it down to not giving myself enough time detach myself my from the company. This time I have even less time to “enjoy” not working as I’m thrust into travelling.

I feel sad knowing people are going to miss me but happy I’m actually gonna go on to experience better things. Unlike a new job where you dunno if things are gonna work out. Backpacking has been in my mind for ages and I KNOW its gonna be a laugh. This is what has driven me ever since I bought my ticket, knowing there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Apologies to everyone which I’ve duped for so long, but I live by the motto, you gotta do what you gotta do.

I’ve never really blogged before and this is all new to me. I will be using this device to express myself. Like an open diary of my thoughts and experiences. With some travel writing thrown in. And some of my quirky observations and humour.

Hope you are entertained
