2 Months To Go

Time is ticking away far quicker then I’d really given thought to, and today marks the point where I have just 2 months left in the UK before I start my trip around South East Asia arriving in Bangkok on the 1st of December.
I’ve done the final juggling of money to get my finances in order and know where I’m at with my initial budget; Which hasn’t gone quiet as well as I’d hoped and my rather optomistic plans of carrying on to India, or even back home in May and then a brief Eurotrip before back out to India June/July are now very much in peril and more dependent on getting some money while I’m on the road.
But that’s okay, that is still a long way in the future and the whole reason for getting a one way ticket out to South East Asia in the first place was so I could make up plans as I go along, and so while yesterday I was feeling a little glum as I mulled over my plans, I’m now back on track and focused on the matter in hand. Thailand and beyond is going to be Awesome, and the tighter budget will keep my eye on the ball as far as developing my websites and writing that I plan on leveraging to bring in some extra pennies while on the move around the globe.
The next big milestone will be handing in my notice, which will have to wait until my boss is actually in the office, so either Friday, or Monday. It’ll actually be a shame to call it a day on my current project, but we’ve got to the end of the current phase of development, and the website has hit 1.8 Million page views in September, and we are projecting 2.5 Million for October. Nice figures to have on my CV should I go looking for another development job after traveling, and I don’t feel like I’m leaving anything unfinished.
