Practising
It is now Friday evening 22nd May and we leave Monday 25th. Our flight is 6.10pm and we have to be at the airport 3 hours before.
I am going to unpack my suitcase and re pack it to make sure I have all I need or some I don't need. We are able to take 30kg each but between the two of us the suitcases only weight 34kg. So room to be able to bring home extra in an extra bag maybe! :0) (haven't mentioned that one to Owen yet).
We are babysitting our "Macka" tonight so will go now and the next posting should be from England. Our first two nights are at http://www.deverevenues.co.uk/find-venue/hartsfield-manor.html . We wanted to stay somewhere nice for our first couple of nights.

Visit to the Motherland – Britain May-July 2009
16th May 2009
Well it is getting closer, only 9 days to go. We have picked up the tickets and information we need, made contact with the 3 cousins Owen has in England, bought a Great Britain Heritage Pass and now just have to pack the suitcases. And get the ironing, cleaning etc done before we leave. Plenty to keep us occupied for the next 9 days.
25th April 2009
It is 4 weeks today until we leave and I have lots I want to do before that. Can’t believe how quickly it is going but we have had lots happening.
We have booked our first two nights at Hartford Manor about 20mins drive from Gatwick Airport and we have booked our last 6 nights in London. We have also booked a car for 3 weeks and then we will wing it from then. We might hire another car or use trains, buses ets.
So now we just have to organise the packing of our cases to see how much to take and how much they will weigh.
So now I had better get off and go and do something.

Eyre Peninsula Holiday April 2008
well we have made it to the Eyre Peninsula. Currently sitting in our van at Port Lincoln, SA.
It has been good so far. I have uploaded some photos to picasa but I don't know why they can't be viewed from this site. Shall try to fix it.
The weather is lovely. Perfect for sightseeing but not really beach weather, which doesn't bother us. People have been very friendly. Met a few from close to home.
Going to go to a farm for a couple of nights as they have powered sites. Something different, as was feeding tuna and watching others swimming with them.
Certainly some big boats here and certainly lots of money tied up in them but then again at over $700 per tuna well I think they recoup their money. Problem is they all go over to Japan.
