All packed and ready to go! Too excited to sleep. Thanks to Trish for getting my suitcase down to 17 kg. It wasn't an easy task, but leaves more room for purchases. Unfortunately Grant's suitcase had 20 kg which means he can't buy much! Oh well! First stop - Singapore here we come!

Just testing

Hi everyone...not long now! Still testing ways to use the blog efficiently. Thanks to everyone who tried to help. This app and blog site allows me to use the i pad quickly and easily, so we'll give it a go. Allow for a few errors, while I'm still home and practising. Meanwhile still packing, and it's cold in Barcelona this week, which is our first stop....what to take???? Hmmmm! Be in touch soon with progress.

Hi everyone, Welcome to my travel blog. Hopefully this is a way to stay in touch with you all as we travel through Europe and also a way to share everything we see and do. Please enjoy our travels with us....Carmel and Grant Small.
