Not this time! i'm just doing the East Coast, i have loads i want to do and just think the West Coast will require additional flights and stuff which i really cant afford. All my flights are paid for, i can however play with the dates if i like, but believe me mate - i have taylored this trip to exactly what i want - so im cool with missing out Vegas ect.. i have come to terms with it! Jericoacoara Beach - Ceara state, Brazil - looks amazing!

Thats pretty much it! But the other way round... start in the States for 6 weeks - New York to Miami - then I fly to Brazil and have 3 months to get to Chile for my flight to NZ then onwards to Oz and S E Asia, Hong Kong then home... so excited i could pee my pants! and fu*k it ill even treat you to a topless shot at some point!! promise! well maybe not - ill pm you one pig!

and im off jaunting round the globe - lucky lucky me!!!! I'm sat at my desk at work - on a Saturday looking at all these other sorry miserable looking fuckers with the smuggest of smug grins on my face! Can not believe the day has finally arrived! Ive missed a lot of the TLW gossip in the last year but i will now have endless amounts of time on my hands to get reacquainted!

Pretty Shitty City

best thing ive seen on tely in years... made me want to dig out my old copy of Twin Town.

See my stalker thread for a proper stalker... I still get chills thinking about that crazy bastard.

Having only been to New York I'd have to say New York... I leave for the US next month also travelling from New York to Miami in 6 weeks! Can not wait! RJ has already been well helpful with regards to places to visit en route but any other suggestions welcomed!

Cemetery Junction 8/10 - really enjoyed it... pretty funny, looked really authentic and loved the soundtrack. Had been looking forward to it and was dissapointed.

that was actually really, really helpful - cheers fella!

Mate i know i cant spell - people need to get over it!!!!!! NO THE FUCKING VACCINATIONS - ive paid for everything else! I'm in UTTER UTTER shock - please someone tell me they were just trying to bend me over -cause i swear i nearly swung for the bitch... They quoted me over the phone anywhere between £20 - £250 - I get there to be told £800!!!!!! what the fuckety?

Hi guys I just got back from a consultation from a travel clinic and was basically in utter shock when they quoted me £800 for what I need! The places I am going to include.. S America Bolivia Argentina Uruguay Paraguay Chillies Brazil S E Asia Thailand Bangkok Singapore *Cambodia *Indonesia *Vietnam *Laos The places with stars next to are places im not even sure i will make it to but as I plan to have 4 months in S E Asia I have to look at all avenues! Please can someone tell me where this clinic trying it on (it was private)... any advise given greatly appreciated Thanks Amy

pissed myself - sorry i mean wet myself

I hate that post.

Right Lance has convinced me via PM - im setting up a profile! Immediately!

hahaha! leighton buzzard - you'll be lucky!

Excuse me DS I have been on the dry since 2009 - im only drinking with you on saturday cause i feel sorry for you.. I am looking very young & youthful! Whilst enjoying the drug free life! albeit a tad dull... i wont lie to you...

fingers crossed

I'd no doubt be up for it so that doesnt bother me. No seriosuly I dont think i'd have the balls to do it anyway.. it would make things very cheap though.. Saying that as Remmie said I could always just stick to the female hosts.

Has anyone come across or ever embarked on this latest phenomenon? It's basically a community of couchsurfers all over the world who invite you to crash on their sofas as you are travelling. It sounds pretty dangerous IMO, but im still really intrigued. Apparently the official website is set up with the same dynamics as ebay where people rate you as a host or comment on the couch surfer themselves. Mental. Im reading the book 'On the Couch' by Fleur Britten and its quite amusing.. Although if i ever thought about trying it out I possibly wouldn't opt for doing it in Kazakhstan like the author!

Wendover is nicer than Aylesbury in my defence.. I just say Aylesbury because people have normally heard of it. Usually they have heard of it because it is an utter shit hole.

Got goosebumps reading that! That's brilliant mate, nice one.. Im fortunate enough to have a very old friend who i havent seen in years move out there and she said she would be more than happy to show me around, im sort of hoping I might get a couple of nights digs out of her too, as she has her own swimming pool - that would be a touch! that was all really uselful TOTK -cheers fella!

Im travelling from New York to Miami in June/July, and honestly Miami just excites the gonads off me! I actually cant wait! .. I reckon ill be there for at least 10 days and will be staying in hostels.. any recommendations would be appreciated.

That looks a bit flasher than mine but that's got to be a good thing i guess. Breville has never let me down in both the toast and tea making department, plus i think they look pretty smooth too. I am a stickler for having evenly browned toast. I absolutely hate it when its still bread at the top. Sacrilege.

One word. Breville

What can I say about 2009, bit of a weird one for me. Started off well, got back together with my ex boyfriend (the proper ex, not the stalker) this was our 3rd and final attempt of making a go at it and we failed (again). At least I have no regrets. I even think we will manage to friends again. We had planned to go travelling together, clearly this is not to be the case now but I am still going! So in that respect getting back with him gave me the push I needed to pull my finger out and finally start saving. I stated a new contract in Harrow which resulted in me not being able to use the internet, hence not being around on here for the majority of the year. A positive thing for you lot no doubt. I finally gave up smoking weed!! I’m 5 months off it now and feel like a new person. I have saved a fair bit of money cause I moved back in with olds and I have now booked my round the world trip. I leave in June 2010. So in reflection I see 2009 as the foundations for 2010 which is sure to be the greatest year of my life.
