Dan and I have set up this travelpod to ensure we can stay in touch with all our friends and family and to keep you posted of all our exciting adventures we have during our travels. Each time we update our journals, it will automatically email you and update you on our adventure but if you want to have a look you can also go to www.travelpod.com and our user id is vicksanddan
I will be the one updating the travel pod and no doubt Dan will be sat next to me giving me the dictation as I'm much quicker at typing than he is! He actually doesn't mind!!! Enjoy...and don't forget to rate us!
Well, can you believe it, only 3 weeks to go before we jet set off round the world, time has flown so quickly. It seemed like we had ages to prepare and now the next couple of weeks are going to fly by. The only thing I have so far is my rucksack (thanks Liz for lending this to me) and a few travel items (thanks Rich for these) and some American Dollars (thanks Di and Kate). I still need to make a list of what to take which is going to be a difficult task. Dan hasn't anything yet but we are planning a shopping trip when he finishes work at the end of this week to get what we need. You can tell who is going to be the organised one!!! We've had our injections, the ipod has been udpated with all our favourite albums and we have enough time to fit in a Liverpool match next week at Anfield and I'm sure we will be keeping up to date with the scores wherever we go!
Okay here goes. I personally would like to thank all my friends for being so supportive of me these last few months which haven't been easy with one thing and another. Kate for being there (as always) see you in Sydney for Christmas and I look forward to the big day before I go, Rich for being my true inspiration and for pointing me in the right direction and Liz for the bike ride on Tissington Trail that made my decision to go for it....a day I'll never forget and most of all to Dan for agreeing to come along and share this experience with me...You are a true star!
Dan - I would like to thank mum, dad and bro for supporting my decision to take some time out to do the 'travel' thing. Mark for being such a great friend and supporting me through the tough times and cheer the Reds on for me to the Premiership title and retaining the European Cup ( you know its gonna happen )
I would also like to say thanks to everyone at work, you know who you are, its been a right laugh (dont decide to do some work now i've gone!)
My Friday night drinking buddies, make sure you have a Corona for me everytime you go out and last but no means least Vicko i still cant beleive we are doing this but i know its going to be one of the best experiences of our lives and cant wait to go travelling with you and have really enjoyed planning our trip, its been alot of fun. Cheers little dude, lets go for it yeah.
We would both like to say a massive thanks to Mark for taking the day off work to give us the lift to Heathrow, we really appreciate it.
