G’day mate
It’s amazing how family and friends and can help you sometimes, tiny little things can play an important part in realising how good a friend they are or how close to your family you really are.
I won’t go into it too much but the really big thing that was in my resolution for 2011 – Going to Australia for a friends wedding, is now a reality! I’ve managed to get the cost of part of my flights covered which means I am going! I am stupidly excited about flying all the way over, about being in the sun and of course being at the wedding.
I’ve still got to cover my internal flights or alternative travel plus my accomodation and living costs whilst I am out there and I’ve got a little over 2 months to sort that! It’s been through the generosity of family and friends, a pair of whom are funding me to walk over the top of the Sydney Harbour Bridge as a treat, that I am going to be able to do this and for that I’m eternally gratefull to them that they would do something like that for me.
I’m still to decide what to do with January, I’ve not got much planned as I need to keep money very tight after christmas and need to fund the trip but this does allow me the freedom to be flexible should an amazing opportunity arise.
You can read about my previous attempt at the resolution in 2004 and what I am trying to do here – http://roryosullivan.co.uk/2010/11/07/resolutions/
If you have any suggestions, ideas or want to offer me an opportunity just add a comment to this or the other post, email me or get me on twitter.
I’m looking forward to this resolution and to 2011 – I hope you are too
