Nervous or Excited...

...or a little bit of both? Definitely both.

In less than two weeks I'll be waking up in Tokyo, about to embark on 5 months of exploring South East Asia. I've done the whole backpacking thing before, but for some reason I'm still worried that I've forgotten to plan something or book something. I know that some of the best experiences are the ones you don't plan out at all and I should just run with chaos but I'm a planner and it's against my nature!

Maybe that's why I have such fond memories of my last trip though; maybe my life needs these little in-fluxes of excitement and the unexpected to balance itself out?

I've still got to settle on some form of travel insurance, and decide whether or not to bring the daily Malaria pills with me or not. Then all that's left is a few practice packs to ensure I'm not overloading myself, one last iPod upload and pick my 'beach/bus' book!

The clock's ticking faster now...
