Well here we here on the eve of our 15 week trip and we are kicking back with a bottle of bubbles still trying to comprehend that in 13 hours we are leaving on a jet plane bound for Thailand to start our 15 week adventure.

It's been a hectic month so it's been nice to relax this week and to celebrate a win for QLD in the State of Origin AND today Daniel's MBA graduation.

The "to do" list is done, bags are packed (for the 5th time) and passports ready for the first flight on Sat morning.

A BIG thank you to Kate & Mikey for giving us their place to crash for the week - your TV and couch are my new friends.
