He he. Its dangerous this blog reading isn't it? We are not quite ready to get back to real life yet so after a few weeks enjoying some home comforts we will be heading off to SE Asia. How long before you cave in and start investigating plane tickets???

Plane tickets
Think it will be another 5 or 6 years yet really. Living in Spain is fantastic and we have a few trips planned in the coming years, but a return to South America is definitely in the planning.
