***Prologue***
Ok, so I find myself in 2004... still mumbling vaguely about grand plans to travel the world - here's how it happened;
- mid November 2003 -
They say every journey starts with a single step... breaking with tradition i decided to leap. Left work and attempted to maintain the lifestyle to which i had become accustomed, without any form of income... lots of time spent day dreaming about exotic locations i can't afford to visit!
-late December 2003 -
Money runs out (well almost- i do have 26 bucks left in the bank!). i had no idea that making an effort not to be selfish at xmas would bankrupt me.... wheres all that positive karma???
-early January 2004 -
Jason takes me out to lunch - i tell him "i will starve before i touch my travel money" then try to chip in for the meal. He won't let me... :) i still have $26 in the bank!
-today (22 January 2004)-
26-18= 8 .... i now have $8 in the bank, one ISIC youth card, lots of lonely planet books (borrowed from the library of course, like 8 bucks will buy even one!) and a plan ...
