Pre-Trip
I am so excited about going to Australia and becoming a teenager. It shall be great. Santa will come and he will give me lots of present, I hope! I've got one more day of school left and then we are driving to Manchester to get our flight at 2pm on Thursday. I think the flight is going to really bad because its 24 hours long. What am I going to do? I hope there will be a lot of movies and nice food. ...
Planning everything
So we're at the stage of planning everything. We know the basic route we want to go on, first Jost Van Dyke in the British Virgin Islands for a while as mark is heading out to work there for a bit then we can head to South America to travel around until the money runs out.

I got to the hostel easily and checked in, I'm glad that I booked a private room (£29), but not glad that I got one which smelled of sweaty ...
Back home! Cannae believe it....
... we sat down for a few more hours before we took our connection flight to Glasgow. It was a bit bumpy but nothing bad as we made it okay to our final destination apart from the push chairs which had been left over in London. So for them it took a bit longer before making it back to their starting point. Better them than us for sure...
After being welcomed by Natalie's mum and dad, we had a lovely sausage in roll snack prepared by them before puting the children to bed ...
