My travel Plans

Many things have happened in my life this last year. I have been single since june and that has made me free to do things i couldnt for a long time.
My trip to Australia brought back that ache for travel i had so long ago but lost when like many other things it was chained up and locked away by the mental shackles that were create by a caging, manipulative, opressive relationship. Now i'm more or less shackle free.
My job isnt secure, and the company i work for may not survive another six months. Not to mention there is so much crap going on in there at the moment that my head is wrecked and i'm sick of the *****iness and drama. With the terrible resession in my country at the moment (like almost everywhere else) if i loose my job, there is a scrapping of a chance i could get another one. Especially seeing as there would be approximately another 330,000 people battling for the same job.
Since the beginning of January i've been saving very hard. I've managed to save €1,100 and i hope to have a little over 7,000 saved by the end of the year (depending on whether or not the company i work for survives!) and by the end of March next year, i hope to throw the towel in at my job, pack a bag and hit the world. I want to do it now before i end up regretting it in the future.
Not quite sure where i'm going. I want to maybe spend a year or two in Australia, but i also want to see so many other places.
Canada is on my list. I have family there and its always been somewhere i wanted to see since i was a kid. I'd have to go to Toronto, no doubts there, but the main part i want to see is vancouver.
Then theres certain places in America. New York, Milwaukee, New Orleans, maybe LA. These are places i want to see so i can meet some good friends i have on litnet. Of course, if any of my good friends on litnet live near Toronto or Vancouver, i'd love to meet them too.
I'm thinking of maybe going to these places first, before hitting Australia... But then if i do, i'd have to pop down to Mexico (where i'll more than likely melt to death from the heat) and see a very old friend from school.
Of course i'd also have to stop off in New Zealand and visit my oldest friend in the world.(we have been friends since we are four!)
Then on to Australia, to live, to work and maybe meet some more litnetters!
Not sure what i'll do after there. Maybe i'll pop into India (and melt there) and then see parts of Europe i've never seen, Greece (melt there too), Croatia, Slovakia, Czech, Austria, Switzerland, germany, Denmark, Holland etc and head home.
Perhaps i wont go home at all. Maybe i'll move to scotland (Edinburgh would be nice!), or only get as far as Canada (and live in vancouver as my dream the other night said i would... but then i did end up as an immortal at the end of that...need to watch highlander) or maybe i'll end up staying in Australia, living in Newtown, drinking tea and reading books. who knows!!
All i know right now is that i need a change. I need a chance to escape, even if its only for a short while.
And maybe i can write a book about my experience. (Danny Wallace style!)
Maybe i wont even get to travel. Who knows!
All i know is that right now, more than anything
else in the world, I need this!
