Two weeks till the dream becomes reality

Well it's two weeks till I will be on a plane to Paris.... then it's six hours through France till I get to a delightful place, Antibes. I've put my HR career on hold and sold nearly everything I own to be able to set off an epic adventure to the south of France to work on super yachts.

Today I've got a meeting with a yachting agency based here in Auckland. Then I drive up to Warkworth for the STCW 95 course. Get to come back for the weekend then spend all of next week on the course.

Heaps to do before I leave so better fly but will write more soon. Have to spend some time registering with yachting agencies in Antibes as I want to start working by mid July. It's exciting to think of all the places I'll see and the rich and famous I'll be mixing with.... don't get me wrong though, I'll be working my sweet as$ off as a stewardess!
