The Eve of Oz

So after several of years of planning and saving we are on the eve of our mega Oz trip. 

Dinner conversation tonight was not about where we were going on what will we be doing it was "OK who is going to get shouted at first?". The voting was tight but "The queen of the last word" Carla is the odds on favourite! Followed closely by who is going to be the most annoying and the less said about the winner of that the better!!!!

Having been amazingly pre-organised by Tina -  We have had the luxury of spending the last hour or so reading over our previous blog entries and apart from being impressed by my own literary prowess (NOT!) we have had such a laugh from the kids entries. I am so pleased that Tina and I forced them to write something - a few memories caught in words by their younger selves, their personalities shining through in a way that could never have been captured by any camera or video - priceless. 

I am not really looking forward to fighting with them again to put some thoughts down about this trip but I know the fight will be totally worth it!!!

Please note that in my brain the new blog title picture is how I picture the trip - 4WD and fighting the desert elements. I will be carrying this picture in my mind the whole way to offset the reality of Winnebago's, Campsites and of course the odd 5* hotel.

As always we will be really pleased if anyone can take the time to leave a wee comment or two - they really enrich what will become a precious memory!

First stop Bangkok!
