Terrified, excited, sad, happy think of a letter in the alphabet and come up with an emotion which starts with that letter and thats how we feel at the moment.

We have 6 days to go and feel slightly daunted by it all at the moment. The men from PSS arrived today to pack our world goods - which are all stored in self storage - they complimented us on how well packed our boxes are.


important lessons learned today included don't stand too long in one place or you will be brown paper wrapped. Also how to box large pictures and photo frames in boxes!

So heres to the next few days as our clock winds down to zero

I forgot terrified! The closer its getting the more I'm forgetting why I wanted to leave Like you said just so many emotions its hard to know how you feel. At the moment I'm getting to feel a bit guilty too about leaving my family But I'm sure it will all be worth it.

Good luck and keep us posted

Mrs RogerCruse has now packed her bags (again), checked her flight details (yet again) and is all ready for a short trip around the M25 on Saturday followed by a couple of long flights and arrival on Monday morning.

We're all packed up and waiting for a lift to the airport. The frenetic round of tearful goodbyes is almost over now. It's time to psyche up for the four legs of our round the world journey.

Dunno when I will be able to post again. At the weekend, inshallah.

Best wishes to everyone anyway.
