Well hi everyone.... The preparations for our European adventures are now well and truly under way. We have booked our tickets out of Australia and leave on the 30th of January 2010. It will sure be a busy weekend as Craig's son flies back to Sweden on the 29th of Janurary, Lizzie is moving into our house that weekend and Graeme (my eldest son) is moving out of his house and flying out to Vietnam on the 30th of January too!! It will be nice to get on the plane and relax....
I suspect I will be a mess at the airport and the night before we leave. I am on a bit of an emotional rollercoaster!
We fly to Glasgow originally and spend a few days there before flying to Venice on the 9th of February. We hope the big thaw will have come through by then! After a night in Venice we train/bus/whatever to Coper Marina in Slovenia to pick up the boat. We will be in Coper for a few weeks while the final fit out is taking place and will hopefully be ready to sail sometime around the final week of February. We are of course realistic enough to know that this may vary!! There seems to be lots of lovely sightseeing to do in Slovenia though so I am sure we will manage to pass the time. We also have lots of shopping to do to fully kit out the boat.
We have had a few bookings for visitors already which is great and late August, September and early October look like being a lot of fun.
Will, of course, keep everyone updated with our progress. I am looking forward to this blog becoming a great memory of our trip for us and all our family and friends.
