I've connected to WiFi and taken this with my phone. It's 7pm here x

After a rather bumpy flight, I've arrived at Singapore safe and sound. Food was naw bad on the flight, films were a bit rubbish. I also found out baggage allowance was 20kg and after my crazy praying like a crazy woman to the airport, managed to avoid a charge of 52 UK pounds per kilo (I was 10 over), so thank you God!! I'll be posting stuff home for sure.

Also realised I've forgotten one of my camera chargers, gutting, but I'll either buy a new one or get Leann or Heather to post it out, hopefully, lovely sisters!

Better go, I'm roasting here!
Another 10 hour flight ahead of me and I'll be in lovely Auckland. I look forward to the rain after the recent London heat-wave.

Lots of love,
God Bless

Firstly, welcome to another one of my crazy adventures!
Incase you're unfamiliar with how this works, I update my blog, you visit my page and you'll see the most up-to-date entry. The posts go back in time the more you scroll down the page (and I've been a few places so they do go on!)
The entry below this one was a test - I can now send an email to this account from my wonderful iphone, so that I can update on the move! It's really quite cool! (Let's hope sending an email won't be too expensive when I'm in New Zealand!

So, here we are again.

29th June - 27th September 2009

I am blessed to be travelling to my favourite country, New Zealand, after visiting there just last year. When I arrived back, I started scrolling through websites, working out how I could get back again. Low and behold, I came across Logos: A Catholic Youth Work organisation who I emailed, told my life story, interests, academic qualifications and present circumstances to, and they invited me out to work for 3 months. Very very awesome indeed.

On Monday I'll leave London Heathrow and head on a very long long journey via Bangkok, Thailand, where I will land in Auckland, New Zealand. My plans are very much to involve myself as much as possible in all the activites with the organisation-not holding back-just enjoying every minute of it. There's the small chance I'll get moved to Wellington to work for a little while, but that's not set in stone. I also have a friend from Greenock currently living and working in Queenstown (south on the south island) (also my favourite town in New Zealand), so I'm hoping to visit her and go snowboarding for a weekend or two. I also have 2 friends who I'd love to catch up with, both living in Sydney Australia - if funds permit, I'm hoping to meet them for a weekend, but that almost certainly is far from 'definite'!

So here lies my plans. I know it's going to be an amazing experience, no matter what I get up to. The weather should be very Greenock-Autumn-esque (rain, but not too cold).

Hopefully the next entry you'll see will be from New Zealand

God Bless and lots of love!
