Leaving on a jet plane

So it's been over 20 days since I last posted on here - did you miss me??

Some of you may know that a week or so ago I was offered a permanent job here in Perth. After much thought I have taken the difficult decision to decline the job offer. I called the company today and asked them if they could postpone the offer of the job and they wouldn't - boo hoo.

There are numerous reasons behind turning it down but the biggest one is that for 12 months prior to leaving the UK I was saving every last penny and even doing carboots (with cool Aunty Nan!!) to make as much money as I possibly could to have the time of my life travelling around the Globe. I have wanted to travel for as long as I can remember but for 5/6 years of my life I was tied down in Nuneaton with that horrible ex-boyfriend who's name shall remain "unspeakable".

I am 24 with the world at my feet and nothing to tie me to one place with any particular person as I am now travelling solo.

With those reasons in mind I have decided to continue travelling. I have also decided to extend my stay in Australia and spend less time in New Zealand, Fiji, Hawaii and the USA.

I am now planning to spend 2 weeks in New Zealand, 2 nights in Fiji, 2 nights in Hawaii and 4 weeks in the USA - enough time to see Hollywood, the Grand Canyon, Canada and New York again.

I hope no-one is too dissapointed in me for declining the permanent job; just put yourself in my shoes - it's a difficult decision!!

As i have now finished temping, my plan is to head South with Chris, Jane and Chay to see Albany, Bussleton and Denmark (not the European country!! We are actually going tomorrow) after that I am going to head back to Perth for a few nights, and then head up North with Sarah and Michelle (2 Irish girls I have met) to see the sights of Monkey Mia, Exmouth, Broome - after this I plan to fly over to Cairns and make my way down the coast to either Sydney as i have booked a ticket to see Hawthorne heights at the begninng of August, then either stay in Sydney to work or make my way to Melbourne to work until I leave OZ. The World is my oyster!!

Chris and I went to see Silverstein on 24th May and it was awesome! I love that band, the pits were just as violent as back at home (not what I was expecting from the laid-back Aussie types!!)

That's all my news for now, I finally had a spare 5 minutes to write this! I will post some more pics at some point today or when we get back from down south!!

Bye for now
