Alhamdulillah, I have successfully carried myself throughout my first solo journey to UK from 3/4/15 to 17/4/15. It was not a much planned trip since I have only decided to go once my Palestine trip was approved in March 2015. The UK trip was then planned for April 2015 since I have to clear my carry forward leave by end of March 2015, but was consented by my superior to do so by early April 2015 due to an event.
Will post more on this soon once I have the time but it has been a splendid and memorable experience altogether as I have not been on my own since I came back from Australia in 1996.
Watch out for my next post on this as the journey has just begun. Cheers
