Borneo?

I'll give mum a call tonight and ask how serious she is about all this. There's a lot of things that need to be organised.

- They just booked their flight, so how I do I get there?
- Is there space for me in the hotels/tours already booked?
- What will I do for spending money?
- Is it possible to get a passport in time? We're talking max 6 weeks here.
- I need to get my shots.

- I'd need to find a field guide! It'd bug me if I saw loads of awesome birds and couldn't find out what they were. (EDIT: I can get field guides off Amazon, will cost me around $300 for them though).
- Actually, getting the cats looked after isn't a massive challenge. Shell will feed Phantom and Matt could take care of Lil until he goes away (4 days), for that time Gill can feed her and stuff.

- I'll have to figure out how to get around Centerlink's dislike of people going overseas.
- I won't be able to go to Geraldton/Kalbarri with Matt and his folks.
- I won't be here for Matt's 30th.

If it was at all possible I reckon I'd take up the offer. I mean shit, "opportunity of a lifetime" springs to mind. But I honestly don't think it's humanly possible to get everything organised in time.

Thats what happened to a friend of mine too.

It wont be a problem you going, but you should tell them and they will stop payment. Otherwise you will have to pay the amount back after your trip... and it is easier not to spend the money before paying.

Have fun on trip! Sounds awesome.
