You'll need a decent kip after flying that far. Makes your arms tired!

Every journey of a 1000 miles starts with the first step (chinese proverb) your first step is taken together into an exciting adventure. However far your long journey may take you, savour and enjoy the experiences come back older, wiser and together. Godspeed, godbless Grandad. PS. You know my philosophy respect everybody but trust no one!

Im sure you both will be a little nervous , but what an adventure lies ahead. As long as you have each other all will be well. I wish I was your age because I know just how exciting travel can be.What a great idea in your'BLOG' know we can track you on your journey We will miss you loads and love you loads. Love Grandmum.

Well I never thought you would actually do it and now the time is so close I confess to feeling a bit nervous. I know you both are about to embark on the experience of a lifetime. So many adventures ahead of you. Savour every moment, look after each other and don't forget to keep in touch with your old mum at home every now and then. Keep safe, don't take any chances and have a wonderful time. You are very precious and I love you very much. Bon Voyage xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx MUMxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
