I am so pumped for this year!
It's already got off to a cracking start - I'm off to Thailand this weekend, work is going well, I've had a great month catching up with friends....
and now...
I've just booked my flight back to the UK for the Olympics this summer!!!!!!
\(^0^)/
The prices were no joke - I got one of the cheapest direct flights and it still cost a whopping £1300!!!!!! It's not the dates I want and it's longer than planned - I originally wanted to go for 2 weeks but flying anywhere around the start of the Olympics pushes the prices up another 200 quid, with flights the Friday before hitting way over £3000! SHOCKING!!
So yah, I'll be back for just over 3 weeks and I'm super excited! I know London is gonna be mad busy, but I CAN'T WAIT TO GO SHOPPING!!!!! Gonna save as much money as possible (starting when I come back from Thailand) so I can splurge, splurge, splurge!!!!!!
Paying for that flight though has definitely broken the bank. I was gonna wait until I come back to Japan in March to book it, but I didn't wanna risk the prices going up further or the availablity becoming limited. I could have taken a cheaper flight, but it transits in Beijing and I'd rather pay a couple of hundred quid more to fly direct. The journey is long enough as it is - don't wanna drag it out more than I have to. So glad I managed to book a Virgin flight though - I LOVE their in-flight entertainment. BA flights were too expensive so YAY to Virgin!!!
Gonna spend this morning starting to get some teaching materials and books together that I might need in Thailand. It'll be nice to actually be able to pack a suitcase for SE Asia instead of a backpack for a change!
Today is gonna be a good day!
xoxo
