Just over two weeks to go - And so much yet to do! Packing light will be a problem, as our list of essentials keeps growing and growing. This will be hectic!

Tickets have been bought, my new backpack has been delivered, Anu's got her travel cot... And the days are flying by! Just over two months to go. First stop - Chicago. I can't wait to visit Gerry and clan, while Daniel is excited about visiting the US. And I have assured him, it's the best city to visit! It will be interesting to see how much I remember, as it's been 12 years since I left. From there, we head to Belize for beach and Mayan ruins... Be prepared ...

After all our talk, Daniel asks his boss for paternity leave. He says he'll have to run it by a few others but it shouldn't be a problem! This makes it all very real! Central America, get ready!
