My friend's boyfriend went off on his travels for the year yesterday and it seems that it was a while away before he was due to go and yet it's come round so quickly. I'm hoping that my trip is the same. Only 21 weeks and 2 days of work left so it's really not that long. I bought my sleeping bag a couple of weeks ago. Bought a Vango Ultralite 700. Didn't end up being as small as advertised but that may be because I'm not the Incredible Hulk so can't compress it as much as it can be compressed! It's still fairly little though and I'm very pleased with it. Also bought a camera battery from ebay which was a bargain and I'm currently bidding on a memory card! Ebay is quite addictive so I'm having to exert a bit of self-control!
Was reading about San Francisco last night and all sounded very exciting. Think I might miss out LA as I've been there before and I need a few days for Vancouver and then I can spread out SF a bit. Seeing as I've wanted to go there for years might as well make the most of it.
Checked out the Merrell Frond sandals at the weekend but didn't find them that comfortable so will have to find something else. I am not having Epidemics (otherwise known as Tevas but we call them epidemics because when they first came out everyone had them so it was like an epidemic!) or anything like them because I think they are not very attractive and the thought I might have to did actually put me off going away for a while! Have to wait for the sales to finish and all the summer stuff to come out.
