With much pestering on Facebook and Twitter (yes, I finally gave in to the world of Twitter for the sake of this trip), as well doing outrageous things (such as walking across the Tay Bridge in a duck onesie) and not so crazy things (bag packing), I managed to reach a whopping £1001.60 in fundraising for VSO (my target was £800). I would like to use this opportunity to thank everyone who helped me get there.
Now, I started shopping for this trip quite early on and, over the past few months, have been frustrated, on occasion, to discover that everything I've been needing has been out of season (well, almost everything). In addition, it seems as though whenever I think I've finally managed to get my hands on everything we need, new information arises about other recommended things for the trip. Well, thankfully, I think I finally do have everything I need, though how it will all fit in my bag is a different matter altogether. But, I'm sure it will all fit, because it just has to. Anyways, now the excitement is starting to set in, though I'm equally a bit nervous. We fly out from London Thursday night so next post will be from Bangladesh with real stories/information about what I'm doing!
