Survived London with Tall, but only just!!!

The topic says it all...we are currently in our hotel at Heathrow airport, getting ready to head to Boston tomorrow morning, although it is -16 in Boston and we are not sure how we are going to get used to that kind of cold, but on the positive we are from EK so have had some training..haha.

Thanks to the Tall chap for treating us to a lovely meal and a night of drunken mayhem..also for you giving us your bed to kip on...it was greatly appreciated. It was great to meet Julie too (talls lady). She is lovely and it was a pity that we did not get to spend more time with her. Tall and the Julster make a lovely couple..

Off to get some food and at least 12 hours sleep..(since last night was more of a drunken coma than sleep)!!!..xx

Leaving do, Sat 3rd March 07.

(this was taken at 12:45 in the morning....so apologies if you missed it !!)

Well last night was our leaving night... it was held in the wee bowling club on Woodlands Road and it was mega cheap £1.22 for a Vodka.........Thank you very much to all of you who attended..it really did mean a lot to us that you took the time to come and give us a big send off....Thank you also for the signed Scotland flag. We will make sure that we include it in as many pictures as possible...Thank you for the lovely gifts and cards..Much appreciated

Please keep in touch.

Next stop London......

Love The Bluesxx

PS: special thanks to Pamela and Stephen for making sure we got home okay...dont think any taxi driver would have stopped for us in the state we were in.

Pack it up, pack it in....let us begin !!

Holey moley!!! - we've just tried to load our rucksacks and it looks like we are taking less than first envisaged. I then had to get 6 months worth of Marlia tablets.....so there goes some more rucksack real estate. Then there are other essentials like mosquito nets, first aid kits, sleeping bags etc. So I reckon we are going away with a couple of trousers a top and a sock each !!! need to try a new strategy and learn to pack more efficiently - aparently rolling your clothes saves space.....so I reckon we'll try that !!

Tour Dates

These are the main places we are flying to/from. We'll obviously be travelling about a bit at each point, but it gives an idea of the general route we are taking

Where we are staying in Boston

Spooky or what!!! All we need now is Scooby Doo and his pals to arrive to save us..........

Homeless, jobless but happy

We moved out of the house on the 9th and are staying with Debo's folks. It's weird not having our own space anymore and even weired for Debo since she is back with her folks. I must say though, we're not missing work at all...ha ha.

We've also got our flights confirmed and there are a few changes to the itinerary. We're are flying out of Glasgow on the 5th March to London then as follows : Boston, New York, San Francisco, Dallas, Buenos Aires, Lima, La Paz, Santiago, Auckland, Brisbane, Sydney, Perth, Aires Rock, Cairns, Tokyo, Hong Kong and Mumbai (Bombay)

Not bad eh ?

Having a leaving do on Sat 3rd March, in Glasgow....not decided where yet, but will have a look when we are in town this week. Managed to get some Mp3 players (good old ebay again), so if we get bored, talking to each other, we'll always have our music - 1 mp3 player each, of course, since our musical tastes are very different

what work ethic ?!?

Well Debo finished work last wed and I finished on Friday......our internal organs have just about recovered from the amount of alcohol consumed over the weekend. The storage has been paid for, so now it's pack, pack, pack to get out of here by Friday 9th - my arms are already killing me from lifting furniture.......

.......That's what I get for having a cushy desk job for the last 5 years !!!
