As I type this, there are just under four hours to go before the first of three flights that will take me from Birmingham to Nagoya. Still time to change my mind. (I'm kidding. Probably.)
Before I go, I just want to thank everyone for helping me get this far. I keep getting people telling me how impressed they are with what I'm doing, but the truth is that I couldn't have done it without an awful lot of help. There were the tutors on my TEFL course who helped me get my qualification. The recruiters who a) offered me this new job and b) led me by the hand on the journey from accepting the offer to now. The staff at my new school (and I'm already thinking of it as my school) who have already been so welcoming. Everyone at my old job who put up with me while I was stressing about everything and in particular my manager who was extremely flexible when it came to taking time off to get things done.
And, as I mentioned in my previous post, friends and family have been supportive above and beyond the call of duty. Even if you don't think you've done much, I can promise you that you've helped a lot. Every word of encouragement is a little push that's got me that much further along the road and, when I cross the finish line, it's going to be because you've carried me there.
Don't know when I'm next going to have access to the internet so there may not be any blog updates for a while, but once I'm settled in to my new life, I'll update you all as to how I'm getting on.
