Well this is it. This time tomorrow (almost) we will be on a plane on our way to L.A baby!!!! I can't really describe how i feel- nervous....excited....a little sick. (i am currently rubbing lavender oil into my temples because apprantly it is meant to soothe you- hmmmm i'm not so sure)

The last week has been really bizarre- can't believe that after all the talking and planning (mostly done by Steve) it is finally here-phew! It's been really good to spend time at home and get everything sorted- i've always liked to leave everything to the last minute!

I am about in embark in what seems like the impossible task of fitting my whole life in a tiny bag- thank god i have got my mum with me helping me being relaistic in what i do and don't need. It's quite daunting to decided what is going to best to take but i am getting there......just!

Our leaving do was wicked and i can't thank people enough for celebrating our last weekend in Bristol with us. As always in true bizzole style it was a messy occasion and i definately felt the pain the next day! Photos below pay hommage to the 'all dayer' crew that made our last weekend in Bristol so special. We are going to miss everyone soooo much but i determined to keep up this blog so you guys can share our journey and keep contact!!!

Can't really believe that i am writting this- 1 because it is a miracle i have got round to it, i am usually so rubbish at this kind of thing (note leaving it to the last minute) and 2 because it means that we are ACTUALLy leaving- AH feels wierd to write that!

Things i'm looking forward to the most is just exploring new cultures, eating new food, VEAGAS baby and also not working- yipee. Still hasn't sunk in yet but it feels sooooo good. I am so glad and lucky that i have someone like Steve to go with and share this experience with i just prey that he can put up with me for the 4 months of travelling before we settle i New Zealand- only time will tell.......


Anyway i really do hope that this is the first of many posts to our blog with travel tales to tell (fingers crossed this is not going to be a one entry wonder!)

I would love it so much if you guys can follow us on our journey and keep us updated with all the gossip- please please write messages so we wont feel homesick and we will keep you updated on our adventures!

Love you all very very much xxx

Update.
Well. You asked for us to keep you updated, so here goes. woke up this morning, absolutely shattered (as usual). struggled out of bed. showered. stumbled into some clothes and left the house. got into the car, and sat in traffic for pretty much the whole way into work. now i'm at work, the boredom has begun. after a quick scan of the usual websites, the only thing to keep me going will be a bit of email banter and the thought of getting home. so really, other than the odd all dayer at the hogga, you aint really missing much. anyway. all the best. and don't worry. you'll have a brilliant time, and of course we'll all keep in touch.
