You know, writing a journal like this isn't just a cop-out so that I don't have to e-mail everyone. It's turning out to be a great way to keep myself in check.

After blogging about my poor preparation, I didn't just keep moping. The post had forced me to analyse the problem—I was ill-prepared.

With that in mind, I've since ticked plenty of items off my to-do list and I feel much better.

• Write a focused CV
• Book my car in for an auction
• Do a trial pack
• Photocopy passports and travel documents
• Get plane tickets
• Book accommodation:
  • Auckland
  • Tokyo
  • London
• Print some "business" cards
• Send personal tax summary to the Inland Revenue Department
• Cancel telephone accounts
• Ensure mobile is set up for roaming

Wow, that's quite a list.
