Just less than a week to go. Work is over and we really are getting organised now. Thanks to those who joined us on Saturday afternoon / evening - very enjoyable. Tim says thanks to those who helped him enjoy last Friday, following his last day at work - I am slightly less thankful!! Although I am sure he felt the same way when he picked me up from the station on Thursday night ....

For those we haven't actually had a chance to speak with / email / catch up with, yes, we are now on our way back to Oz but it may take a while!

Planning - progress

Well, that's it. Tickets are booked, packs are bought and and coats are on. Less than two weeks to go and we will be on the plane to Buenos Aires to begin our adventure - the long way home. Starting now to look at accommodation and tour options and trying to work out how we will get to be in the places we need to be on the days we need to be there. Still, we have got a bit of time on our hands and we're not really in a rush to be anywhere, although there are key things that we want to see - galapagos islands, inca trail.

4 days of work left and then one week to make sure we see all the things that we haven't seen in the last 6 1/2 years!

Planning - phase 1

Well, 17 days until EDD and still so much to do. Tickets to book, tents to buy, hiking boots to wear in (although I do need to buy them first ...). Still so much to do and time is moving very quickly. Feeling better though that we now have a clear plan in place.

All going according to plan, we will depart from London Heathrow on 01.12.08 flying Iberia, via Madrid to Buenos Aires. We plan to spend a couple of weeks in Buenos Aires, maybe cross the border into Uraguay for a week or so before making our way overland down to Ushuaia. So far, the rest of the trip is still kind of vague but obvioiusly will involve the Inca Trail, Galapagos Islands and the rest of South America, before heading over to Central America and then just working our way as far up as possible before heading home.
