Well, I think I’m finally done.

We have photocopies of:

  • our passports
  • drivers licenses
  • all of the bank/credit cards we are taking
  • flight information
  • accomodation bookings
  • concert tickets
  • marriage certificate (never know if we need it)
  • travel insurance certificate
  • notice of assessments from previous tax returns

Copies for my mum, copies for Jess’ mum. Scanned copies that I will have on my laptop. I think we are pretty safe haha. That’ll do me for photocopying this year I think!

Woot! Our tickets to Vampire Weekend just rocked up in the mail. They are playing at the Astra Kulturhaus in Berlin on Friday 19th Feb. Jess is super stoked because she’s really into them at the moment. Life is awesome right now!

Here’s them playing “Cousins” from their new album “Contra”.

Well, the wedding is over. Jess looked amazing and everything went to plan. It was an awesome day – we both really enjoyed ourselves.

So now it’s full steam ahead with getting organised for the trip! Having a wedding and then leaving for a year is a pretty tough thing to do. It seemed like a great idea a while ago, but after catching up with everyone and really seeing how much you mean to your friends and family it’s a bit of a downer. Not to say I’m not excited about the trip, I really am – it’s going to be amazing. We will just miss everyone!

I’m still at work until the 20th of January, and we fly out on the 22nd. Jess is cleaning the house and organising our stuff, just trying to keep it all tidy and out of the way. We don’t really want everything spread out through mum’s house for the next year! We will begin packing this weekend, so I’m re-researching “what to pack guides” (this one is great!) trying to get an idea of what we need.

Once we are packed, I’ll post up a photo and some info on what we are taking and how we are going about it all. For now, I must return to work!
