I'm writing this as more of a tester really, to see if everything works...but i may as well fill you in on how we're feeling whilst I'm here! As of today it is 13 days until we officially start our adventure...THE WAIT IS KILLING US! Honestly, it is agonising. We're just doing the last minute preparations and then it's off to India!

Our Intrepid Travelers Return

On The Blog

Well, we’re home !! Oh how we’ve missed this drizzle. We’ve done it !! 93 days, 34655 miles (372 miles per day!), 360 degrees (longitude). Plus 61 entries, 589 (out of 7,724) photos and 63 (out of 231) video clips on the blog. Interestingly, the furthest north we have been is a little place called Bilsborrow, just outside Preston in the UK (53°51′ N 2°44′ W) and the furthest south we’ve been is Auckland in New Zealand (37°00′S 174°47′E) which is quite weird ‘cos it means there’s a whole right angle (53° from Auckland to the South Pole and 37° from Bilsborrow to the North Pole) that we haven’t done !! (Yet). Anyway, this is going to be the last blog entry for “On-The-Blog”. What are we going to do with ourselves? I did think maybe ... read more

Hola! As you can tell from Jo's current location, I havent yet set left to meet Saul down under but I wanted to set this up a week before I left! So its officially a week until I get on the flight and meet Saul in Oz!! I have been getting very excited, nervous and scared these last few weeks. A lot of changes have occured for me. I have moved out of my house in Didsbury, sold mine and Saul's baby!! :) (our car), quit my job at the nursey and moved back into my mum's house in Blackpool! Wow this better be worth it! :) As most of you know, Saul has very kindly set up a Fruit picking job for 3 months for us starting the 8th February 2012. After doing my Belly ... read more

Suburban Dweller

I know that people experience culture shock when they are in a new place for a certain period of time but I always thought I wasn't capable of experiencing it. Ridiculous, huh? I guess I think I am Wonder woman... I will never get homesick, I will adjust to the British culture smoothly, and my life will completely change once I leave America. Well..I was wrong. I couldn't have been more off. I am experiencing a lot of different emotions and to be honest, it has been hard for me to adjust. I maintain my independence by exploring the city and the small towns, but there are times when I want to hop back on that plane and head to the U.S. But then I catch myself and realize that I am being a fool! I ... read more

T Minus 1 day. Starting to get real. Just checked in, sitting near the emergency exits, parachutes packed. Window seats, no balcony. So, tomorrow we fly into the future. 5 and a half hours into the future actually - 1st stop Delhi. ( Didn't know that Delhi was 5 and a half hours ahead, how does that work then ? ). Might treat ourselves to an Indian ( food, not person ). Next time we update this, it will not be from Garstang. Watch this space . . . . . ( well, not this one, next one ) . . . .... read more
