We are now making the final preparations for our trip and the departure date is still good, despite a bit of a health scare for Tony. However, the all clear has been given and we are madly placing all our possessions in boxes bags and bins.
We held a celebratory party on Saturday to say goodbye to our friends and relations (and tell them about our low key - but gatecrashed - wedding). This was a great deal of fun, and we will miss everyone on our journey... but no doubt a year will pass very quickly once we get underway!
Some folk were still bamboozled by our instructions of how to get onto travelpod to check our blog so we are attaching our unique link here:

(Although we're still not certain how they can get the link without going onto travelpod in the first place - a problem worthy of Wittgenstein!)
