So here goes the first blog from Emma i thought id get on here before people thought i was incapable of writing. its seen a while since my input. Its 27 days til we get on that first jet plane, to say i was s***ting myself now would be an understatment. i think shannon actually has the valium out already. i actually cant believe that it has been nearly 4 months since we booked this, now we are thinking about packing up our bags #justsaying (for shans benefit).

oh and for all those people who get jealous easily just so you know we have added a little weeks holiday in bali in amongst our tour round oz. We werent quite sure we were visiting enough countries (jokes). whats one more place on the list.

Have to say that we have gained a new recruit on our massive adventure, well at least until new zealand anyways. Jen so so so excited to have you onboard triple the fun hey.Ii also think that by Jen coming i might have just got out of that bungy jump, as im sure she can join shan at the top.....while i keep my feet grounded on the floor with the camera haha.

Today we booked a great hotel in Goa on the beach in calangute. 10 days of heaven on indian beaches what could be better (sorry everyone who is working). im sure we will need a bit of luxury after 28 days of slums.

So many more really exciting moments to come before we leave in 4 weeks, a massive party with our great friends, lots more shopping and drinking and lets not forget that last day of work for 9 months (omg).

........ what else is there to say other than we will keep ya all posted when our bags are packed xxxxxx
