Only 16 more days to go until we leave for Singapore / Europe. Time is zooming by but trying not to get too excited yet. I collected our tickets and tour information last Monday which made it seem a little more realistic. I have made a few alterations to places we are staying and booked train tickets to visit Wales and Chester as well as a tour of Buckingham Palace on the afternoon before we go to the 'We Will Rock You' Westend Show.
Chris and I spent the day in Wanganui with Mum on Saturday. Great to see her and she is looking really well. Always hard to say goodbye when we leave, especially as we won't see her for quitre some time and will be in the other side of the world.
Have been sorting through clothing Sarah wants me to take over for her. Hard to know what she wants but will just make a good judgement call. Will be great to see Sarah and Stephen after 18 months and feel Sarah will be quite different.

Tour
Trafalgar Tours must have read my blog. Our tickets and tour documents were ready for Chris and me to collect yesterday but I didn't pick up the email until after Flight Centre closed so I am so excited to be picking them up tomorrow, Monday.
Had a lovely, long chat with Sarah this morning. We tried to sort out what clothing I will take over for her as she now would like some of her more formal work clothes. Sarah has a 'shop-full' of lovely clothing and under-wear stored with us so we will take as much as we can.
Only 26 sleeps to go. Getting very excited - like a kid anticipating Christmas I guess!!

Close
I can't believe it is August already and only 4 weeks until Chris and I travel to see Sarah and Stephen in London and get a taste of the other side of the world! We are getting so excited after months of planning, saving and anticipation so, 'ROLL ON' Sept 3. Still haven't got our flight tickets and tour documents but they will arrive. I am so organised that I am looking for things to change, which annoys Chris!! He'll get over it and love the better hotels etc.
It is hard to imagine being in 14 countries in 5 weeks (that includes good old New Zealand of course!) but it will be a great experience. New Zealand, Singapore, England, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Italy, Switzerland, France, Spain, Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
So looking forward to being with Sarah. It seems so long since I have seen her but it is crazy to say 'the time has gone fast' since Sarah and Stephen left New Zealand. We will stay with them on the first night but as they have work and other commitments, we have booked into a hotel very close to their home for the rest of the first week. Hopefully they will put up with us for short stays after our tour??
I will try to keep this blog up-to-date while we are traveling and post photos as we go.
