Ok so I have now created our Blog! Hmmm, Frank gave me some mutton cloth and Brasso to shine up my writing skills, which I must admit have become rather rusty.
Right let's get on with it....... this exciting, stressful, exhilarating, scary time - trying to organise and remember everything is making us insomniacs of note. Every time the passports are sent off for the next visa is definitely the worst until we get them back in our sweaty paws.Our passports are (hopefully) sitting at the Vietnamese Embassy in Pretoria at the moment. This one is going to be the worst as we used a private courier service. The Australian and UK visas were much simpler as they have their own couriers. Oh well, Have Faith ............. Murphy is sitting on somebody else's shoulder and of course he took the Charming Sod with him.
Our luggage is bought, now comes the daunting task of trying to predict what we will need over the next 4 months! SE Asia - Summer (Whew......hot), Australia - End Winter, Scotland & England - beginning of Autumn (starting to get Brrr....). Oh dear decisions, decisions!!! Ok mostly summer clothes are required. Oooops just heard Perth is windy, wet, cold and can be quite miserable in August. - Add a couple of jerseys into the mix..................
Hi there Lynne and Frank, can just picture the state you now find yourselves in, I don't know whether this will be a positive or negative bit of info' but Winter is really slow to show it's face so far. It seems to me that our Winters have been milder but it might be the fact that I don't have to be up at the crack of dawn. The weather is so perfect at the moment, it's a pity you can't experience it now. By the looks of it your best bet is something for each season surely you can't go wrong that way!
