Manda Maree

And we are off... FINALLY!
Three girls, europe, friends, food, drink, sights, shopping... what more could I possibly say?
Just on five weeks to cram in all of this in a number of different locations - a mission we are more than willing to attempt!!
We are under no illusions that we will be able to come home & say we have seen anywhere near enough of that side of the world, this is more the trip that we use to do the recon to plan our following trips!!!!
So as you will read & see we will quite quickly make our way through parts of Spain, a bit of France, mainly the top of Italy, Paris (of course!), a very small part of Germany and then on to lovely London to hang out with friends in their new neck of the woods and ensure our suitcases don't come home empty... like this was ever going to be possible!!! A night in LA on the way to the other side of the world and a night in Hong Kong on the way home (birthday celebrations will conclude our merry wee trip should our livers still be functioning... livers regenerate though right?? & our travel insurance does medical emergencies...)

Anyway we have been waiting 9 LONG months for this trip and as I write this we are only 2 sleeps away from hitting the tarmac outta here!

This blog is intended to be a means of communication with predominantly my mother (so she knows on a regular basis that I am still alive, to some degree!) but also with friends & family... i figure it will save me having to repeat these tales and remove the risk of anyone missing out when I forget stuff (cos I will DEFINATELY forget stuff!)!!!
Work mates I apologise in advance, you read this blog at your own risk... if you do not want to risk your great impression of me being tainted completely ask Nathan for the sugar coated version - I am confident that he will be able to gloss over any particularly embarrassing parts and embellish on the days when I can only manage to write that I am alive but only just!!!
Friends... if your in this catergory I am sure that nothing I write will surprise you, especially if you know the friends we are meeting over there - NOTHING will surprise you!
Family, unfortunately you guys are the biggest suckers, no matter what I put on here you guys are still gonna be related to be and that means love me unconditionally! hahaha lower your opinions of me now, then your less likely to ended up disappointed!!!!

I hope in general that you all enjoy this and I don't offend anyone (by accident!), luckily I don't think any of you are quite that precious!!

Have fun xx
