I fly out on the 29th of March. Wednesday. Which is...one, two, three...days.
What have I arranged, so far?
Bought a 12-month open return ticket. (A$1,700)
Sold my old cranky laptop and bought a spanking new laptop. With all the bells and whistles, including widescreen. (A$ - uncertain, 'cause my brother can get some off it.)
(Bought and installed a Kensington lock for said laptop. And picked up Counter-Strike: Condition Zero while I was in the shop. A$50ish)
Picked up a new small carry-bag, with convenient wheels and pull handle, for carry-on luggage. It's a bit small, but...well...it was free! (A$0)
Worked for two weeks on two separate overnight camps, for an extra thousand dollars to pay off health insurance. I'm still going to have to take out a small loan.
Begun arranging to be picked up from the airport (JFK, thank goodness) when I arrive.
Begun arranging good-byes for friends and family.
Still yet to be done:
Visit dentist (ugh).
Purchase travel insurance. (A$1,100 for 12 months)
