So... let's start at the very beginning.

Greetings.

Today saw us find out the result of the Bushmills Trek competition (bushmillstrek.com) and although we weren't successful, it means that we can now plan our trip around the world with no waiting for answers from work etal.
With this task in hand, we've been going for coffees, trying to plan our route, going for more coffee and then forgetting to bring any of our travel plans with us!!!

So... We have a list of everything we would like to do and who knows how long it's going to take!
We've finally received our permission from work to have a career break, so as of late September we'll be packing our bags and seeing where the wind blows us.

The Trans - Siberian is one train journey which is on our list. Others are the Trans-Canadian and also the West Coast trains of America, but not all our travels will involve train journeys. There's the Pioneer and Leader in Field Guide and Nature Training course which we would like to do in South Africa, the Great Wall of China to walk along, varying places in Tanzania, Nepal, India and other locations which we would like to leave our footprints in and take memories from.

So injections are to be organised
and bags to be packed,
but we'll be off on our rambles
and in a year, we'll be back!!!
