Take off! We are at the airport. Waiting to board the plane and set off to Poland. After much confusion whilst checking in online we discovered that Rachel is now a Mr and the hotel just around the corner from the airport is actually a six hour walk away. Turns out the airport we were looking at was actually an air club and the actual airport is miles away. Ah well we are here now and Simon even made it through security.

There is now only one week until we fly out to Poland. We have at least booked the flights now but still have a lot of packing to do on top of moving house. So no pressure there then. For those of you who don't know we are planning to fly out to Poland and travel through Ukraine and Romania. Our first stop is a visit to the concentration camp at Auschwitz then hopefully finding a train to take us to Lviv in the Ukraine.
