Three Week's Notice.

I'm going to China tomorrow! I am really quite excited, though I will miss my friends a lot. Packing today has been annoying. I hate packing. However I have somewhat mastered the art of packing light, so I'm hoping that when I am travelling I won't be bogged down with too much stuff.

So the plan tomorrow is to take the National Express coach to Heathrow in the morning, take my 11.50am flight to Frankfurt, then a 9 hour or so flight to Beijing! I actually love flying, possibly fuelled by the fact I don't feel I need loads more legroom.. But it's just so exciting, especially when I haven't done it for a year. I expect by the end of the trip I'll be sick of check-in counters, waiting around in flight lounges and that fasten your seatbelt sound. I can hardly sleep on planes, the best I'll get is a bit of a doze. I do hope some good films are on show though :D! I arrive in Beijing at 8.30am.. which means I will have to stay up. Result being I will be seriously lacking sleeping hours for the next 2 days or so.. On top of that I will have to fly to Chengdu to start my tour. I should probably get some Pro Plus.. :/

So far, my itinerary is pretty empty:
My Itinerary.
8th - Arrive in Beijing at 8.30am. Buy a mobile. Do a shitload of organising in terms of tours, flights and couchsurfing.
28th - Arrive in London at 4.55pm. Eat. Sleep. Sleep.
Pathetic, eh. Plans will fill up when I land and stuff gets sorted, this is given the fact I don't get quarantined, which will wreck my plans a lot. But it could possibly be an exciting experience/hilarious in a week's time...

Things to do in China
  1. Take lots of pictures
  2. Buy lots of cheap stuff
  3. Spend lots of money on travel (but nada on places to stay!)
  4. Meets lots of people
  5. Eat lots of scrummy food
  6. HAIRDID.
  7. Grow up a bit.

1 to 6 are a given.
