Eve of departure

Well all the planning is done, all the listing of things to do, and get, and mend, and install are ticked off and we are on the eve of departure.

At this point in our 18 month plan we would like to say a huge ‘thank you’ to everyone who has helped us and encouraged us at every stage.  We have especially had a very large number of well wishers in the last few days since we went public.  To all those who responded please accept our apologies that we have not had the time to reply individually.

When we have told people what we are doing we have always got a reaction.  It is true many have doubted our sanity but mostly it has been one of pleasure and excitement for us.  There has also been a lot of nice envy - from those who would like to do something similar but perhaps do not have the circumstances to do it. To those we would say, ‘why not’,  maybe you can, but you need to think big and be brave.  Start planning now and follow us.

Love,

Mike and Carol
