Sayonara Canuckia !

...well for now at least.

I have been so crazy busy over these past 2 months or so that I havent even had time to think about leaving Canada and our trip to London, Italy and Spain....let alone write in my blog.

Even now, there are 3 and a bit hours to go until we have to leave for the airport. Josh is trying to fight off the onset of a cold and I am feeling run down and seedy ( I tried a sleeping pill last night to see if it would give me any side effects and, well, it made me feel seedy today....as if I had one too many drinks the night before...). The sleeping pill is for the plane...in case I cant get to sleep...but I'm thinkin I'll be able to conk out naturally.

So, next up....London. A 24 hour whirlwind of Buckingham Palace, Big Ben and all Londonish touristy spectacles. Meeting up with Josh's best friend, Samantha who will be our 24 hour tourist guide. Also meetin up with Hertz and Rob from The Photo Forum for a few drinks... so lookin forward to it !

Then, Italy. Rome in particular. Hopefully a day trip with some wine and cheese for a picnic in Florence and the Tuscany region, maybe some day trips elsewhere.

Then onto Madrid, Spain !

Back to London, change planes and buckle in for the 21 hour haul to Melbourne. Holy hell, talk about the Ron Jeremy of flights !

I've yet to write my Year In Review of Canuckia. It will eventuate apon my return to the land of Vegemite and sharks, I be thinkin....

I miss Canuckia already. It was just starting to feel like home to me.

I miss Josh's family already. They already feel like family.

See you when I land!
