I cannot wait to travel to the USA with my SO on the 21st. It's less than 3 weeks away. This will be my first overseas trip in more than 6 years! I'm nervous too. I'm also not sure if I should get travel insurance as I will only be there for 6 weeks. My mum wants me to and is willing to pay for it but it's over $200, and she's already gifting me money to use while I'm there.

I'm nervous to meet my SO's family and friends. I feel as if they might see me as having stolen him away from them and I'd hate anyone to feel negatively towards me for that.

I think we're going to head to Guzman y gomez later today for 5 dollar burritos. It's Cinco de mayo and my SO being Californian, really misses the cultural aspects of his hometown. He says he loves Sydney, although no mexican food can compare. He's grown to absolutely love asian food (because there's so much of it here) and knows he'll miss it when he goes back.

We still haven't decided where we're going to settle down, so no visa has been applied for yet.

He asked me if I would be opposed to getting engaged while we're over in the US. I said no. I don't know how he's going to get the money for a ring though.

I'm counting down the days til we leave. Each day goes so fast. I can't wait to leave my job. My boss owes me money and if she doesn't pay it in full before I go then I promised myself as well as other people that I'd report her to Fair work Australia. Let's see what happens.
