aaaaagggghhhhh - soooooooooooo excited!!!

Only a week to go!!!! Gary and I had a discussion today about how we can't normally cope with a two week holiday and usually start talking about work after about 10 days.  Are we going to be able to do six weeks without work.  Seriously..... it IS a consideration.  Will we still like each other after six weeks of being together all day every day.  It will be a first run of how retirement might be in the future.

I have a special picture for you on this entry.  As I have been working on the Olympic site for the last few years, our mascots for the trip are Wenlock and Mandeville, our mad Olympic friends.  They are bikers too of course, just in case you were not aware.


Picked up the travel cash today and tomorrow will be all about final packing and making sure all the paperwork is in order.  This coming week is then all about making sure everything is covered for while we are away.  This time next week we will be at Gatwick.

  1. Only a week to go, good journey and hope you enjoy yourselves. Looked at the map to track your route, a whole lot of 'nothing' along part of it part should be beautiful too. About the dry run for retirement, hate to burst your bubble as you can get away from each other when you are retired!!!!

  2. Nothing is sometimes quite good. I'm told that the long days across the Prairie will be huge skies and coming from East Anglia I do like a good sky
