hi guys!

welcome to Owens travel blog!!!!

i am using this to keep everyone updated on my whereabouts while i am jet setting around the world, to save on phone calls to everyone!

having said that- i still expect phone calls from you all so i know how you all are though!

so the update so far is.....

me, mum, and nana went for a trip to Canberra to get my u.k ancestry visa.

I found out earlier that you have to arrive before it opens @9am, so we ordered a 7am wake up call ( you will all know how much i enjoyed that!)

so we arrived at the british embassy @ around 8.45am only to find out that we actully had to go to the British consulate NOT the embassy! If anyone knows what the difference is between a consulate and an embassy PLEASE tell me! i mean COME. ON.)This must happen ALL the time though becuase the man at the gate had a map with direction already highlighted with the way to the right spot!

so with that we were off and the only other hiccup (yeah you know there HAD to be one) was that Nana's british passport had the wrong birthdate on it! Luckily for us, the lady working behind the desk had actully prevoiusly had a job writing out those passports and sorted it all out little fuss.

phew!

so now the only thing's i have to do really is

-travel insurance
-travelers checks and stuff
-tax return! (oops! i have left that late havent i?)
-my needles
-chinese visa
-PACK PACK PACK.

i hope i get to see you all at stuart park on sunday it should be fun and the i am off the next day!

i am going to try and add weekly updates to this page so keep your eyes peeled and you will get to hear about all the stuff i am getting up too.

Well, pretty much all the PG+ rated stuff that i get up to!!!

:D

please email me at owenkungfoomaster@hotmail.com and let me know how you all are as well!


i will be missing everyone!
