I'm really not an expert on these things, but I believe I may have sussed out a way to leave my job when I want to, screw them over by not coming back AND still keep them as a reference! Will elaborate more on this when the time comes!
There is certainly a nice buzz of excitement in our house right now. The Trans-Siberian is really an option, provided our journey doesn't collide with the Beijing Olympics (if anyone's even going??) and my girlfriend and I are really geared up for a change. We're both massively in 'save mode' right now. I can't believe it's taken me the best part of 25 years to figure out the best way to save money is to pocket a lump straight after pay day, and then try and make do with what is left! I've saved thousands already this way!
For help with booking a trip on the Trans Siberian, we've been using this really really great website: The Man in Seat Sixty-One... It's seriously useful and really up to date. It also gives directions on how to organise train travel to Moscow from London ("Flying to Moscow to pick up the Trans-Siberian Railway is like agreeing to run a marathon then accepting a lift in someone's car for the first mile...") and onward once you reach Beijing! Since there are no direct flights from Beijing to Auckland, the plan is to pick up a train to Shanghai and fly from there. All in all, I am now looking forward to a fun-packed few months while we begin to plan our trip!
