Ohh how many times over the past year have I thought about making this post and what I would write? How many times have I been so jealous seeing all you ones flying off to start a new life? How many goodbye and good luck posts have I made? Now it's finally my turn..... yay!

So finally it's goodbye from me. I feel like we're on the final spin cycle now. We finished work last Thursday and have been away all weekend on a goodbye tour, just popping back to do the washing and ironing tonight and packing up the remains of our stuff tomorrow.

It's certainly going to be an adventure and very exciting, we fly from Heathrow on Sunday night with Malaysian Airlines to Langkawi where we shall be staying for 5 nights before flying on to Auckland on 9th April, arriving midday on 10th. When the fun will really commence.

We'll be packing up the last of our bits tomorrow as we continue on our "goodbye to the rellies" tour on the way.

I'll be sure to report back after we come out of the wringer at the other end.

Bye for now!

Not Goodbye from me Lil, but TTFN and "Laters". Hope to see you "on the other side". :exit

Now, remember, this is the bit you have to ENJOY cos it's what we're all aiming for before we settle down to the usual drudgery of work, bills, "normal" life etc, etc. (Jeez, can anyone remember what normal life was like before this rollercoaster?)

Very bestest wishes to you and yours Lil. Safe journey and excitement all the way! ;)

P.S. KEEP US POSTED!

Like a lot of people here, we're slowly counting the days (or months!) until we're lucky enough to be in your situation.

Enjoy the journey,
