Final Arrangements.

I collected our passports from the Travel Agent last Wednesday and went through the itinerary with her one last time. We have booked a lovely B & B in Cornwall, (pictured above) called Menkee Barns. The owners were very helpful and didn't even ask us to pay a deposit, their only request was that we let them know if we change our plans. Considering we booked for a long weekend at the beginning of their summer, I thought they were being very generous.
It's just one week and six days to go...bring it on!

Passports back from Russian Embassy.

The Travel Agent has advised that our passports arrived back from the Russian Embassy today. I will be collecting them next week and am looking forward to having them in my hot little hands, safe and sound. It's just three weeks and six days till the big adventure starts. Up, up and away!

 

Banbury.

This is the town of Banbury, where Trina and Bob live. We will be staying with them when we are in the UK. In this photo you can see some of the narrowboats moored in the centre of Banbury, conveniently right next to a large shopping centre. We are hiring a narrowboat in Wales whilst we are over there, which should be great fun, and very interesting. I can't wait!

 

 

Getting closer!

It is now 5 weeks and 5 days till we fly out of Brisbane and jet into LA. We leave at 10.30am on the 12th of April. It is a 13 hour flight and we will arrive in Los Angeles at 6.40am also on the 12th of April.

Our passports have been sent to the Russian Embassy so they can authorize our entry into their country when we are on the Trafalfar tour.
