The Story So Far ...

We said farewell to our work friends at the RSPCA and BBC on 14 September, farewell to our families on 3 October, and set off for Africa to save cheetahs, decorate school buildings, and look around a bit. After a trip home for Christmas, we headed for South East Asia on 6 January -- where we were stunned by Qatar and Cambodia, taught novice monks in Laos, and acted as security guards at an Elephant Festival. It was back home for four weeks to look after John's dad, before we tangoed our way through five South American countries in fifteen days. We then snooped our way through New Zealand, dipped our toes into Fiji, drove-thru California and were home from home with family in Vancouver.

Now, we are home itself. Fulfilled, happy, and ready to earn the respect of our friends and family by knuckling down and earning some money once again ...

I wonder -- Departure.

Hmm.  I wonder -- Departure.  We've just visited friends in Wiltshire, Bath, Bristol, Bristol (different batch of friends), Basingstoke.  "We're off, had to catch you before our trip, have a great autumn" -- probably a touch too in your face, but at least we've made the effort.   Now thrilled to be home, sipping tea, planning a DVD and red wine/pizza Sunday night ahead.  But if I feel like that after five familes and two and a half days away, how will I feel after five countries and nine and a half weeks?
