I think it really hasn't sunken in.. still! Even with some participants already in the states, and more people flying out in the next few days, somehow it still doesn't feel real!
Today was a bit exciting because I went in to see my travel agent, Stephen at Flight Centre. He had called to say that my finalised flight itinerary and Contiki travel documents were ready to be picked up! I have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of my Contiki documents more than anything! They came in a cute little travel wallet, and came with a luggage tag, a information book, my detailed itinerary, the actual 'Ticket To Ride' and information about Contiki's calling kit.
Anyways, after doing a bit of research on the 'free' sim card that you can get through Contiki, I've decided agaisnt it. I'm going to stick with my original plan, and get a sim through Simple Mobile for my iPhone. Their prepaid plans seem really good, and they have quite cheap international calling, as well as unlimited local and global texting. So it sounds like the best way to go!
In terms of things for my trip, I think I am all sorted:
- Flights (all of them!)
- Visa
- Insurance (Travel/Medical)
- Pre-Disney Accommodation
- Universal/Island of Adventure Tickets
- Universal Studios Express Passes
- Post-Disney Accommodation
- Los Angeles Accommodation
- Contiki
- Prescriptions/Medication
- Letter from my doctor
- Travel Card (with USD on it!)
- Luggage
- Contact Lenses (6 months worth)
I've put all my paperwork (and there is actually a LOT) into a document folder. Good idea so I don't lose anything!
I know two weeks is going to fly by so quickly.. at the moment I'm still really excited, but I know as it draws closer I'm going to be freaking out.. actually, I'm going to be terrified! And I'm REALLY not looking forward to the airport, and the dramatic crying scenes thats going to occur when saying goodbye to my family =/I suppose thats inevitable really! Eeeeek!
