Au Revior!

In exactly 11hrs and 25mins I will be at the Brisbane International Airport waiting to check in.

I just want to say that,

I AM SO EXCITED!
I AM GOING OUT OF THE COUNTRY FOR 10 DAYS!
I AM GOING TO NEW ZEALAND!

This is the first time I am going overseas since I was two and a half. And that didn’t really count because I can hardly remember anything about it. Although I do still remember parts of it.. I remember going on the Eiffel Tower and I remember having a huge salad breadstick for lunch and I remember dad buying us a chocolate icecream and I remember Uncle Daniel’s wedding vaguely and I remember mum giving me a shell and I remember visiting a few churches.. so I remember a bit about our trip to France but not very much.

But this time when I go overseas I am going to remember all of it. I’m actually going to be old enough to appreciate what I’m seeing. I will be out of the country for ten days, without my parents and with only a few of my friends. Of course I’ll have the rest of the band for company but I don’t know that many of them yet. Although I’m sure that I will certainly get to know them pretty well on this tour!

It’s going to be odd to be in a totally different place, with people who speak with an accent, using different money and seeing totally different scenery. It’s going to be exciting! I don’t think I will get homesick; I never have before on any of my other tours. I’m not usually one to get homesick or even miss my family because I’m usually having too much fun. I know that sounds really bad that I don’t miss them, but it’s not like I don’t think about them.. I just don’t miss them because tours are usually so fun I never want to come home!

So far, after having half a day off school, it still doesn’t feel like I’m finally free. But I think that the moment I wake up at 4 o’clock tomorrow morning, it’s going to feel like I'm on holidays.

I’m not going to forget you; I've made you guys the wallpaper on my phone so that I can look at you every day.

So i’d just like to say,

So long, farewell,
Auf Wiedersehen Goodbye!

See you all in ten days!
