    Ok ok. I'll pay off the credit card with the cash tomorrow.
    I have an overdraft available, but I don't go into it often. My sig is out of date by a few years!

    The Holiday plan... Don't tell my parents.. is to not return for as long as possible. Try to get a Working Visa for New Zealand, Maybe work on a boat and learn that trade, possible on to Camp America or some other program. Might try to TEFL in China, Japan or Korea - So the more money I can save the better. I was originally planning to leave in November, but being 33 I cant get a traditional Working Holiday Visa, BUNAC do one for up to 35 year olds, but they have all been allocated for this year (All got allocated in 2 days) and they will be available again 'Maybe the end of this year, maybe the start of next', and if I do manage to get one, they need my passport for upto 2 months, so I can't really be out of this country when I apply, which means it'll be about March when I leave.
    Hah! Went off on one there, not so much DFW, but savings.

    @Muttipops - I had a look at it, but NZ immigration see food & board as payment, and therfore you need a work visa. People have said that a lot of WWOOF places don't even ask to see a visa, but I wouldn't want to base my trip on illegally working.
