It’s just 2 days before we leave and I think we’re on target to get everything done we had planned. Every now and again we get that panic moment when we realise that’s it’s really happening….., you know, that “ooooo s**t” moment!!

We’ve both said goodbye to Zurich and RAC. Fireworks party tomorrow night when we say our final goodbye to family plus a more long term “so long” to Neil’s niece and her family who are emigrating to Oz the day after we fly.

We’ve been over indulging the last week or two in all those things we know we can’t get in S E Asia. A Christmas Dinner with Leanne (hats, crackers, pud and , of course, the cat’s traditional Christmas Day tin of Value tuna), seriously mega pizza with Alex, a posh fish supper cooked by Paul, pork pies, a major cheese fest with Port, fillet steak, local chippie fish & chips, chocolate cake & cream, mmmm, and good old warm British Beer!

We won’t miss the cold, grey dreary weather we’re having at the moment knowing full well it’s 30 something in Thailand, and raining – but at least it’s warm rain!!.
