But the tables have turned!!!! and the excitement grows!
Our flights (and travel insurance) are now booked and paid for. Thing's were slowed down a little for us, living in Jersey, as companies specialising in travelling and gap years do not have offices over here. So, after one horrendous phone call in which we began hysterically laughing and throwing the phone to one another, we resorted to communicating only through email. So, this weekend Megan when to visit her cousin at the University of Brighton. Where STA travel conveniently have an office.
Two and a half hours of details and decisions later, it was definitely for the best to have visited an agency in person! The staff were brilliant and each had travelled all different parts of the world so knew exactly what kind of flights and insurance we should be looking at. After spinning the globe on the desk around multiple times, I managed to figure out exactly where we were heading...
With our first stop switching from Niarobi to MOMBASSA to take part in Camp Kenya (elephant sanctuaries, hanging out with local tribes, game drives and volunteering in local schools.... more details to follow after the next pay cheque!) we were left with a grand total of EIGHT flights through our five destinations. For under £1,700 for all the flights, booking through STA was definitely a good decision as we could use our under 25's discount saving huge £££££!!!!!!!!
Finally booking is a HUGE relief, leaving us with only visas, transfers and a few essentials to buy before simply earning our much needed spending money for food, accommodation and necessary extras; eg SKY DIVES, BUNGEES JUMPS, ADVANCED DIVING COURSES, and hopefully some other wild adventures!
Brighton itself was wild but great, the perfect british weekend away finished off with fish & chips on the pier in the rain, mmmmm.
Check out the moody brighton sea...
Updates soon!
Megan and Jodie.
