Thinking of going travelling…

 January

New year…new term…New Year resolutions! Where to start…

Get fit, drink less, study, and travel in the summer…

Have joined the gym- am detoxing for the month and studying hard- deadlines looming! Want to travel but where to go?Thailand?Tanzania?Borneo?Peru?

No need to decide now- have plenty of time…

 

February

Must finish that assignment before Valentine’s Day…

Still managing to exercise- detox finished.

Winter well and truly here- cold and dark outside- dreaming of travel to somewhere warm.

Have plenty of time to plan…

 

March

Mmmmm doing less exercise, out drinking a few times a week, stuck in the library studying- not long now until end of term and Easter- hooray!…

Have decided to go on a world trip in June- found a great charity to work for inTanzania-soooo excited!

Passport √ Lonely Planets √ Backpack √ Immunisations????- will worry about them next term- have plenty of time…

 

April

Back from vacation- exams looming : (

Need to book into the travel clinic- but no time with study study study!

Not travelling until June- have plenty of time…

 

May

Excited about trip! Need to plan as travelling very soon…

Booked into the travel clinic- but booked too late to fit all my jabs in!

Nightmare also trying to arrange appointments around revision and exams!!

WISH I HAD BOOKED INTO THE TRAVEL CLINIC EARLIER…

 

Sam Says; ‘Please do allow at least 8 weeks before your travel to complete immunisation courses. Travel clinics get booked up quickly in the summer term and you may find it difficult to try and fit in your appointment and courses of injections around your revision and exams. If you know where you are travelling, please book into the travel clinic now– it’s one less thing to worry about during the summer term.’
