We flew to Dublin to see my family before we set off on our adventures.

We had a really FAB day and a lovely meal in Luigi's. Mam had banners & balloons up when we got home, it was soooo nice!

We are going to see The Script tonight in the Olympia with Catherine, Niamh & Gary. Really looking forward to that. And I am sure there will be some fab eats & drinks along the way.

Can't believe it is only one week now before we fly off to Beijing, it is all just so surreal.

I think I had almost given up on the idea of travelling like this and now it is finally happening. I am so excited about it all but nervous as well.
