Countdown to overseas adventure

It is 33 days to lift off,

Flying Qantas to the UK and then Europe.

After the initial re-acquaintances with family in Scotland and England we embark on a 16 day guided tour of Europe at a pace classified as medium. During the 16 days we will be visiting London, Holland, Germany, Switzerland, Italy and France.

After our tour we will be visiting relatives in Poland and I hope to show my hubby some of the wonderful places I had visited 2 years ago. I am looking forward to seeing some of those rellies I had met on my last trip.

I have dusted off one of our larger suitcases which I am generously donating to my husband and I shall have to burden myself (hahaha) with a new suitcase. I am currently in a dilemma as to what to pack and what gifts to take with me. The people were so generous and giving when I last visited and I was totally overwhelmed with the hospitality and warmth with which I was embraced.

My last journey was a journey of discovery of my father's homeland and the people he left behind during World War II. This trip will be a celebration of our silver wedding anniversary and a honeymoon we did not have and also a celebration of the closure of our working life as we slowing move into our retirement years.
