Hi all,

Well we've been a bit slack on the email front recently, so we thought we'd pop through a quick email to update you on what's going on over our way. As some of you will know we are leaving behind the the hussle and bustle of London for a six month break this UK summer (1 Apr - 30 Sep '06). Our rough plans (what we have worked out yet) are below, and we will be using this travelpod thing to keep you updated on our way round, share some photos, etc, etc. It should be really easy to check (if you're interested), and you don't need to sign up or anything, just click the link when we send it through. If you want us to stop sending these to you, or would like us to use a different email address, please do let us know, and we will modify our distribution list.

So...our plans over the next 6 months are:
1) 1 Apr: 2 weeks in Morocco
A week visiting the kasbahs, souks and general mayhem of the imperial cities of Morocco, followed by a week trekking in the High Atlas mountains, staying in traditional village huts, etc.

2) 24 Apr - 23 Aug: 4 months traveling around Eastern Europe in a campervan
That's right - the Stewarts are loose on the road. We have a rough plan of countries we are heading for, a few lonely planets, and a book of Eastern European laungages and we will take it from there. Roughly we are heading from Germany up through Poland to the Baltics (Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia), down through Slovakia, Czech, Hungary and Romania, then back across to Germany through Croatia, Slovenia, Italy, Swiss, avoiding all World Cup football games to Mark's disappointment!!

3) End Aug - End Sep: A month around Scotland and Ireland
We are back in the UK to head up to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival at the end of Aug, hopefully catching Natalie's bro Camo in his comedy act, and then onto the Ryder Cup golf in Dublin in late Sep (that was Mark's idea). Not quite sure what we are up to between the two, but it will probably involve a car, some b&b's, and some good craic.

4) Oct: Back to work in London
oh no!! Mark has been given the 6 months off work as unpaid leave, so he will be returning to PA Consulting, whilst Natalie will become a lady of leisure - loving it.

Finally (and most importantly!), we will be thinking of you all, and would really love to hear from you - we can't promise an immediate or personal reply, but we will really appreciate it!!

Love Natalie and Mark
