4 days to go - Croatia here we come

Welcome to the first post (hopefully of many) on our blog! Beware - we don't know how to drive this blog but we will work it out over time. Only 4 more days and we will be flying out of the Country. It's been over 9 mths since we booked the tickets - can't believe it's so close. For those of you who don't know we are off to Croatia via the UK and back by Kuala Lumpur (a good place for people with small feet to buy shoes apparently - luckily they also sell electronics!). Luckily unlike our expectations of Murphy's Law might apply, both of our teams diodn't get close to the semis so we won't be missing any football of interest

We have been booking all kinds of things today - arranging travel insurance, hiring a car for the UK and Croatia and accommodation in London...all at a time that the aussie dollar took a dive - such is life. We will be staying in Earls (aka Kangaroo) Court in London - nice and close to wherewe used to live....a trip down memory lane - not to mention it's a part of the trip dedicated to honouring our backpacking roots. If anyone knows what's on in London for this weekend coming up please let us know....keen to get to the theatre...have a few drinks with friends over there as well before heading off to Canterbury for a couple of nights. If you're in town that weekend leave us a message on here or facebook.

Till then it's time to juggle packing with work, uni assignments and packing Tommy away...his airfare was too expensive for us to afford. Surely he will enjoy his holidays with Grandma and Grandpa down at Minnamurra - daily walks to the shop for a sausage roll - or so he hopes.

Oh well Dancing with the Stars is coming up - better be off - hope Charli's still on the show.....
