In One Week I Set Sail... - TravelPUNK Backpacker College Student Budget Travel Message Boards!

Ok...not exactly sailing but sailing on my American Airlines flight from Boston to London. In London for a few days then to Manchester where I'll be living for three months. My girlfriend will be attending school and while we won't be living together we will be sharing realized dreams in the same major metropolitan area in a land far from home (Albany, New York.)

I have a work permit so need to find a job and an apartment. Until I get on my feet I'll be staying with a friend in Manchester. I'm looking forward to living a day-to-day life unlike that I've known for all of my 22 years.

This is my first trip abroad and it's sure to one of many. I love travelling, I just haven't left this glorious rock known as North America...

I will be posting pics and diary updates on my (new) website : http://www.calebbacon.com

Good for you, bro! Can´t wait for your site to go live.
You got a lot of clubbing to do when you get there

Don´t all the techno beats originate from Europe and in the UK in particular? I think so.
Hope you give us the low down when you get there.

Good luck on finding work. Even working at a restaurant will help you to meet a lot a new local people- fast.
Have a safe flight B)
