Pre- trip nerves

So I am supposed to be heading off tomorrow(Monday the 14th), and today I am ever so slightly shitting myself haha. The van is packed and ready. I have moved out of my unit and everything is in boxes. I've even done a test run up to Elim Beach and back - through deep puddles and dirt 4wd tracks. 

I head to Normanton first. By my calculations I'm guessing it's going to take me about 3 days to get there from here. 

What if something happens? What if I can't get help? What if, what if, what if. I have a million things running through my head!

Today is the final run of things I need to do - finish changing the window rubbers, get a tyre repair kit and pump. Try and figure out a way to fit my Blokart on. 
Then tomorrow I need to renew my passport and wax my legs and I'm ready...
Or as ready as you can be, travelling solo in a 20 year old van. 

I am excited. And terrified. And nervous. And anxious. And curious. And..
I've got so many emotions coursing through me that I can not even begin to tell them apart.
