Countdown to the big Europe trip!




Hi everyone- Graeme thought it was time to start the countdown for our trip overseas! and we see now that it is only 38 days away! Eeeekkk. We are flat out getting our property all tidy and the outside ready for the party the week before we fly out. Wise or not?! (we will find out as the time comes close!)

We are having a "5 in 1" party to celebrate Sammys 21st, Graemes 46th, Danni's 13th birthdays plus a house warming and pre-europe party ALL rolled into one!

We will also send out an email just before we go overseas to remind people how to post on the blog once we hit the other side of the world- those comments last trip
2 1/2 years ago, came to be something we really looked forward to each day.

The itinerary for the trip is a bit manic- so much to see and you want to make the most of it! Even so it had to be pruned back country wise.
