OK blogtastic blog fans! After popular demand I'm blogging my trip again. OK my mum asked me and then I forced half of SEPA to tag along for the ride too, but apart from that it's been popular :) Don't know what I'm doing, or where I'm going, so this is going to be as much of a surprise for me as it will be for you! That's it really! Take care all and I'll keep you updated! Aly x : )

It's always been a dream of mine to go to New Zealand. So after a most horrendous 2006 and with a renewed sense of adventure and nothing holding me back there was no excuse not to go and buy the plane tickets. So with that done I'm definately going. No turning back now!! As the famous poet Ronan Keating said ‘Life is a roller coaster, you just gotta ride it!’ So I’m currently on Oblivion, a ride I always force myself to go on, even though in a kinda way I hate it. So I feel I’m on the upward rise, almost at the top about to be suspended above the smoky chasm. I’m hearing the words ‘Don’t look down,’ but you just can’t help it. You want to close you’re eyes but you don’t want to miss the sensation at the same time. But you’re safe in the knowledge that in 21 seconds it’ll all be over and the feeling afterwards is one of exhilaration and again again!!! But a roller coaster wouldn't be the same if you weren't sharing the experience with your mates, so hopefully you're going to enjoy the blog and mandatory stupid pictures of me at various locations! Thanks to everyone who has helped me this last year. I won't mention any names, you know who you are!! You've made me the person I am and I'll always be grateful for that! So let’s just hope the queues aren’t too bad and that this ride lasts for a hell of a long time! I'm hoping the adventure will still continue well after I return. So may the good times roll on :) Love you all! Aly x
