Off to Oz...

Ok, so, Thomas and I have finally got our Australian Working Holiday Visas and will shortly be off to Sydney to work for a year and possibly longer. I have to admit, I am excited to be going back to Australia, as it is one of the most wonderful countries I have been to, and I have awesome friends there, but, now that it has sank in, I am actually quite nervous...a lot of things have been niggling at me.


While my other half seems to be on a high, and is worrying about nothing now that he has a visa, I seem to be...a bit anxious, which usually isn't like me. I am looking forward to it, don't get me wrong, but I suppose men don't really let things get to them as much. This time, I will be away longer than before, I don't like saying bye and can't help but think 'What if...' What if something happens when I go, in Australia or at home? What if I can't contact home as much as before or only through email/FB (yes, this bothers me)? What if I don't like it this time as much as before? I suppose if that is the case I could just come home, but what if that would be a regret? What will (don't laugh) my little cat do, she is like my shadow, when she is alone for longer? And, what if she thinks I have up and left her without caring?...People know where I am and why I'm there, but she won't...Being diabetic, what if something happens, like I cannot get insulin or something...? What if I don't like the first job I get and that gives me a hateful impression of what the rest of the time is going to be like? I know it is unlikely, but what if the people I work for are quite horrible? I am used to a friendly working environment... I am not overly forward, so what if I can't make friends easy?... These may sound silly to you, but they sit in my head, and don't seem to go away. The main niggle is my kitty!!!


I have also been reading reviews about OzIntro, the company I'm going with, which all have been fantastic (only some negative reviews, which don't help), I will be staying for the first week in Surfside Backpackers hostel in Coogee Beach, Sydney, and out of 18 reviews on TripAdvisor, there are only 3 good ones :S...suppose, it is a hostel, not a hotel, but still... it looks nice, but the reviews make me anxious...


However, despite all of this, I can't wait to go. It should and will be fun, and a great experience. I will be travelling for the month of December maybe into Jan, going to a wedding in December, seeing all of my friends and I will be in Sydney to bring in the New Year, meaning I will be in 2012 before the peeps here :D


Anyway, wish me luck and tell me all my worries are nothing to worry about...


Edit:
Meant to add, at least Thomas will be with me :D
