Right well I'm just trying to work out how to work this site and thought I'd begin with our starting point - England. I'm already packed and ready to go as I head to London today for the big departure. Tom and I aren't meeting each other until check in at Heathrow so I'm bricking it at the moment! Would just like to say a big thank you to all your good byes and words of wisdom, and we hope you keep in touch with us when we're gone as we will miss you!

Next installment will be ou first stop Brazil, though you may not hear from us for a few days as I'm sure you wont get us away from the beach once we land.
