After talking about it for years, we're finally off on a round-the-world trip!
We had a busy old time before jetting off; since the start of 2005 we've both been working away from home during the week, decorating our house, planning our wedding in a different part of the country to where we were living and working, selling our house and planning our round-the-world trip! After doing all that we definately needed a holiday!

Hi both,
Pleased you survived the Inca trail- I've heard lots of things about the Incas and their human sacrifices - glad you didn't become their next sacrifice due to altitude sickness. Have just read about a 5 hour tourof the Waitomo caves in North Island New Zealand, including abseiling, "flying fox" descent, black water rafting, caving, walking, jumping and climbing. Yet another of New Zealand's extreme sports. If you decide to try it out, don't forget the iron board for the extreme ironing!! Mum

Hello both
We all had a wonderful time at your wedding - had a peek at the wedding photos but can't decide which ones I want yet.
We have had the most awful weather and then I see your pics - am I jealous! Enjoy yourselves.
Love Gill, John, Catherine and Ben

Hi Both. House is now empty & clean. Quart eventually went into the pint-size storage unit & door slammed quickly. We're now back home for some peace & quiet (but the cat thinks otherwise). Dad
