Well, we are definately getting the excitment over flowing now, only days to go, we thought we'd give you a run down on where we intend to travel, can't guarantee it will be stuck to 100% but it is our intention to maintain it pretty closely. There is a good reason why we haven't set times also, with 3 families in total anything can happen, so, we will just the course of our journey. Stay tuned to find out where we are and reviews on location.
