Tomorrow when I wake up I will be heading to NEW YORK! Normally when I travel I rarely get excited beforehand but this time its different as its child-hood dream coming through going where it all started ! 

 

This year as so many others I have been travelling a lot. I am not sure how many countries I visited in 2010 and how many times but to name a few: Denmark, Sweden, Finland, England, Czech Republic, Croatia, Switzerland & USA (incl. San Diego, Las Vegas & Los Angeles.)

 

I plan to pack light as in extremely light. I will carry an empty suitcase and an envelope with cash so that I can do as much shopping as possible without getting trouble finding space for it and pay extra charges on the plane. I am flying out there on monkey-class but on my return-trip I will fly business class which allows an extra 10kgs (fright-weight not coke!). Also due to the fact I have to go to Hungary two days after I return to Malta I need extra comfort.

 

The past month in Malta I have not gotten much sleep. There is an annoying dog barking like crazy from 6am only to be followed by heavy drilling from a construction site in my back-yard 7am. Needless to say they also work weekends and public holiday so no matter when I go to sleep I wake up at 7am. St Julian's is synonymous with cranes and construction-sites. Its pretty ugly these days but I guess foreigners will benefit from this a couple of years from now. 

 

In New York I will not be checking my e-mail the entire stay to get a complete break. The 9 days without checking mails will be an very hard task for me... Wish me luck!
