Flying solo once again

Sadly for me Luke has decided not to come travelling. There is no real reason to go into detail but I am travelling solo now as I initially intended to and have done before. I did like the idea of going round the world with my friend and he will be missed but there was never any doubt in my mind that I was still going ahead with the trip no matter what. I am still excited, still scared, still fascinated by what lies ahead, none of that has changed. I know first hand there are a lot of benefits to solo travel, it is much easier to meet people and the trip is now completely mine once again to do what I want with. I gave my notice in at work today and so have exactly a month to go, after that there will be a week of winding down and clearing out and then it's back to Ipswich to see the family and hopefully catch up with a few old friends. All I really have to sort out now is my visa for India and travel insurance, after that I'm good to go!
