The fate of my travels...

So everything is up in the air...again.

First - we have yet to confirm what the fate of our show is. We are confirmed for 13 more episodes. They are trying for more. If there are only 13, I am done working at the end of August - and I am good to go. If there are more - who knows. If I am working straight until December, I am better off to wait until the end of the following July to leave for NZ (as backpacking is highly un-recommended in June/July due to snow/weather conditions).

Second - to make my heart a little happier (the travelling bug is frowning on the inside), I've decided to go on a trip for my work hiatus in June. Thinking San Francisco or Vancouver. Sad news is that we just had a very strange inquiry from our head office - and their request most likely will render my hiatus extinct due to post requirements that they will need adhered to.

Now I am back to square one. My heart is very somber today - and I don't know how to cheer it up. I have been immersing myself in travel websites for the west coast as I am so eager to begin an adventure.

Another sad note - i just did a check on my Cathay Pacific flight to Auckland for mid-September and the cost has jumped 1400$. :(

Maybe it won't be the same at Travel Cuts - but that hurt just a wee bit. Maybe i'll be blessed with a lottery win over the next few months and I won't have to worry about the finances.

I have been blessed with a wonderful job opportunity however - that has allowed me to save up once again for my travels. I am very grateful.

I am just so excited to go on that trip. The departure date keeps running away from me.

on a side - i need to post a collection of my travel gadgets. They're highly entertaining.
