Well I'm getting quite excited now! last night I met Colin, Wendy, Leigh and Sarah, 3 of the team that will be riding with me. They were all really nice and Wendy had even made me a leather waistcoat but I might have to cut down on the doughnuts as it was a little snug! <br><br>It was good to meet them all and we discussed the trip, what gear everyone was taking and what the weather would be like. I told them that the sun always shines up North! but I don't think ...

Two days left - still can't really believe we're going. Excited and also a bit nervous - how will we get from place to place especially around Cambodia and China?<br><br>Working our way through our final to-do list and just hoping not to have any last minute panics!!<br><br>Suppose it won't sink in until we're on the plane:)<br><br>Viv xx

There&#8217;s something about this scene that makes you understand,<br>that no matter how hard you try, you can take a boy from his home but<br>not the home from the boy! (words used in the Bon Jovi song &#8211; Who says<br>you can&#8217;t go home)<br><br>Anyway, the planning has begun. I can&#8217;t describe in words how anxious I<br>am to get ...

Here we go......<br><br>I recently watched a movie called 'Julie &amp; Julia' starring Meryl<br>Streep as Julia Child and Amy Adams who plays a character called Julie<br>Powell. Julie turns 30 and has nothing interesting in her life. She<br>doesn't enjoy her job and wants to do something that she enjoys. She<br>loves cooking and is an avid fan of Julia Child who has written a<br>cookbook for servantless American women! So Julie then decides that she<br>is ...

They do funny things that you can be marked down for like applying the parking brake when stopped at a red light....don't know why, they just do. We are learning. While out in East Kent we looked at a TV we found for sale on gumtree. It's a 28 ...

As well as the travelling part, of course I'm not gonna be able to resist all those cheap clothes and bargains in Asia, particularly as mum is venturing out to meet me for the Cambodia/Vietnam part of my trip (and will hopefully have a large suitcase, if not suitcases, which I can stuff full of goodies - get your designer handbag ...
