Literally and metaphorically that is. Havn't posted recently - not sure that anyone would be interested in lists! Not panicking that we havn't got our tickets yet, we have great confidence in Trailfinders, Cambridge.
I had planned to describe how we set about this journey so that anyone coming along behind could pick up useful tips and avoid pitfalls. Hadn't taken into account how long everything takes and how complex this whole thing has turned out to be. It hasn't been helped by the additional features of dealing with the Teacher's Pensions Agency and sorting out mum's estate. But we musn't complain.
We are enjoying the process of au revoirs with numbers of friends and relatives. Humbled that we have 93 contacts and rising in our travelling e mail account.
We are ready to go, drugs (prescription) collected, jabs received, malaria tablets ready to be chewed! Guide books and copius notes made. Not sure that there will be any room left to pack clothes! Major decisions to make e.g. do I take a hairdryer, what quality of shower gel do they have in hotels in Laos? At present reckoning we will be staying in 32 different hotels (those are booked) so I should be able to publish a short paper on afforementioned shower gel on our return!
I should imagine that our next post will be from Bangkok, so till then
Best wishes
