Hey

Hey guys
I’m in the planning stages of my gap-year at the mintue, and I’m really lucky because my boyfriend’s Dad is paying for our gap-year (he’s really rich!) and so we can go wherever we want.  :D I’ve now booked quite a lot of the flights, and some accomodation, and I can’t wait to get on my way in August. I’m off all over the world, and I’m really looking forward to Antarctica and La Reunion, as well as the Galapagos Islands and Japan. And I can’t wait to go back to my spiritual home in Atlanta, it always has and will be home for me, but I haven’t been back there in a while, so that’s gonna be exciting. I’m gonna get to see all the things that I’ve always wanted to see, and meet so many amazing people. Maybe if anyone’s gonna be in the same places we will be at the same time, or even if you’re just going there at all, we can arrange to meet or swap stories? Somewhere around is the beginning of my itinerary, but I have to update that.
Anyway, I’ve been enjoying reading other people’s diaries, and I hope that mine is gonna be one that people can enjoy.
Ciao
Rachel

I’d just like to say you are so so so lucky!!! :D

Thanks! I know I am. And not only is my boyfriend’s Dad rich, he’s the best guy in the world (my boyfriend, not his Dad, although his Dad’s cool too.LOL)

Wow, you lucky thing!

I’d be really interested to know how long you’re spending in each place and if you know, how much all the flights come to.

That’s going to be an incredible year!
