So whilst in the gym this evening I received confirmation from my first work exchange host that they will indeed be able to have me from the first week in April. Elated that everything seemed to be going to plan, it was at that exact moment sat using the wide pulley that tonight was the night.
Tonight would be the night, after 60-something weeks, that I would finally book my flight!
Not leaving any time to ponder I left the gym mid-workout and skipped (in spirit) down the canal only too aware of the significance of what I was about to do.
And with a few flight comparisons and a review of which seat is statistically the safest, I had within the hour of receiving that email from Canada found myself in receipt of the most important confirmation I have ever received... for it was confirmed that I was booked on the 09:45 flight from Gatwick, London to Pearson Intl, Toronto on the 26th March 2012.

I go to bed tonight in the knowledge that this trip is finally starting to come together with some real tangible arrangements now in place. I am really very happy.
