a quick intro

Okay, so I'm new at all this, but I thought I'd set this up so we've a way of logging our trip and our friends and family can keep up with what we're up to and where we've got to.  Today is 42 days and counting until we set off and we've still a mountain of stuff to do.  I'm still at work (15days and counting!) then we've the houses to finish doing up and sell/rent out.  All going to be organised chaos I'm sure for a bit, but its just starting to sink in that this is actually a reality at last and not just a dream. 
 
Bear with me as we make the final preparations then go off on our trip.  I may ramble, rant and rave on on different days about nothing in particular, but then I wouldn't be me if I didn't!
