Woooohoooo! All the shopping is done, the money is ordered and the nerves have disappeared to be replaced with pure excitement! I found a great website the other night all about Utila (http://www.aboututila.com/index.html). Silly woman I should have googled it sooner :p Anyway I found a list of all the apartments that are available for longer term and yay! there are plenty in my price range. Let's just hope they are not all taken.
There was the most beautiful eco-lodge, unfortunately it's just outside my price range (ok ok its about twice as much! :D). Almost wish I hadn't seen it, just look at this gorgeous bedroom! (Click here!). With my budget I'm not likely to find such beauty! And most of the cheaper apartments are away from the ocean front. Again, hardly surprising :) Still, the more I read about the place the more I can't wait to get there.
Tomorrow I have to start my malaria tablets, never had to take them before :( Still, better safe than sorry! Well, can't think of anything else right now, just glancing around my bedroom makes my heart race as there is travel and diving gear scattered over every available surface including the top of the tv! It's been so long since I've been on an adventure, I can't wait!
Bye for now!

11 days to go!
A mixture of panic and excitement is setting in now, and having just looked at my bank account it is more panic than excitement at the moment! I'm mad to do this, but hey, I've always been mad so no surprises there :)
I'm off to Norwich tomorrow for, hopefully, the last holiday shopping trip. I keep buying things and then returning them because they are not right! The return list currently includes two pairs of shoes, one book and one hat! Pity I can't return my brain and ask for a refund. Let's hope tomorrow is slightly more successful. The shopping list for tomorrow is frighteningly long and I can hear my credit card groaning already at the prospect. Let's hope the recession has ended by the time I get back and I have the amazing fortune to walk straight into a job.
Ta ta for now folks :)
