72 DAYS TO GO...But Who's Counting!?

72 Days to go until we are 'leaving on a jet plane'...on a dream trip, the trip of my lifetime, to the UK! It is proving hard to write this very first post as I simply can't put into words just what this trip means to me - the culmination of years of dreaming & longing to one day set foot in England, many years of severe illness where it truly was 'just a dream', but also a hope and a goal.
I guess this shows that hopes and dreams really can come true, as it is actually going to happen! I am overwhelmed to say the least, but mostly grateful, incredulous and truly deeply blessed!
Now, who are 'we'? I am fortunate enough to be embarking on this trip of my lifetime with my closest friend, Nancy. Nancy has been to the UK numerous times, usually to undertake long distance walks ( like, 100's of kms!), so this will be a different kind of trip for her, and I am beyond excited that we are travelling together!
You will probably get very used to seeing our faces as I plan on documenting every moment of this trip with pictorial memories. (  I will coax Nancy into as many pics as possible!)
