Goodbyes have been said, our house is packed, work is finished and we have our bags on our backs.
The last few weeks have been a whirlwind of finishing tasks and very rapidly moving onto the next. In preparation for what seems almost inevitable while we're away, I got food poisoning which wiped out two of the last three days and set us back on the final to-do list but thanks to our brilliant family we're ready to go.
We are currently on our way to Heathrow for our flight to Colombo, Sri Lanka for our first of ten countries. You might be wondering which of us has the heavier bag - Phil with the massive shoes, larger bag, bigger clothes; or Beth who has packed considerably more clothes, shoes and all-things-ladylike? Across her backpack and daypack Beth comes in at 14kg, while Phil is 13kg. Pretty sure we still both have entirely unnecessary stuff with us!
It feels surreal to be on the road but we are both so excited to be...except for the delayed train to London that is!
