We live in New Zealand as a retired couple and for our 20th Anniversary we decided to take a trip to Europe. It was originally going to be a two-week trip but, as they do, it grew to 3 1/2 months. The trip, which we have nicknamed "The Big OE", commences on July 16, 2007 from Auckland airport and begins with a week in Los Angeles and a week in the North of England visiting family in both locations. We will then be spending 7 weeks in France and 3 weeks in Italy, doing house-swaps in each country. Our 18 year old son will be joining us in Italy, and numerous friends will be calling in at various locations along the way. After returning our son to Rome Airport, we will be heading back to LHR to pick the continuation of our round-the-world flight to Shanghai and a week there. We will finally return, somewhat reluctantly, at the end of October. We have set up the travel blog as a response to friends who want us to keep a diary and also to make it easier to stay in touch while we are gone.
