Twig's European Adventure

Interesting times have been since my last entry. I lost my job last week and it has created a void in the money department. No matter, power on.
I received my passport today in a cool little plastic sheath thing with a small booklet on smart traveling ideas and international calling numbers. It turns out passport now days have microchips in them so they can scan your passport for your details into a computer and so forth, isn't technology wonderful.

It is 122 days until departure.

I have booked myself in to get my passport application processed, so tomorrow at 2:45pm I will rock up at the Morwell post office for a form finalisation session. Which leads to the next issue of the passport photo. Like a driver licence, a passport is valid for 10 years, with that come a picture of yourself that will be 10 years old. So one ask themselves what can I do to ensure that in ten years time and looking at my passport and not wish it was someone elses... answer NOTHING. Passport photos are designed to look crap, and no amount of preparation can change that. Either way I am getting my passport photo done this afternoon, and the crappyness that comes from that photo.

It is 143 days until departure.
