1. Don't count your chickens before they are hatched.
2. Always read the fine print.
As seen below, 'The Grand Plan', was and has been for some time to travel from London - Auckland - Christchurch - Sydney - Hawaii - San Francisco - Florida - London... But as my words of wisdom may imply, there has been a slight change of plan.
The long and the short of it comes down to a miscommunication between myself and an STA travel agent. May I just say, for your personal gain that 'Multi-flex' isn't always as multiple and flexible as one might imagine. Whereas I though I'd purchased a flexible ticket, with options to change the date and destination of travel on multiple occurrences, as the package would suggest, I have in fact not. So, with a slight alteration to the plan, it still remains I believe grand in its vision.
I leave this Monday 14th November for New Zealand, where I shall spend four and a half weeks traversing the length of the two islands before heading to Australia for what is now, a three-month leg. I first head to Sydney, where armed with the traveler's bible, the oracle of all wisdom - the lonely-planet - and the kind advice and hospitality of Antipodean family members, I shall draw out my route of the vast island.
With just over four days before I step off British soil, it all seems to be coming together. I aim to keep this blog up to date and invite all of you who are interested (although I suppose this will probably consist of a few Slavins and Felds, Slavin/Felds/Felvins) to check this site and read my tales of adventure.
À bientôt
