Less than one week to go

Well down to the final week till we fly out and start the adventure.
Last week with the MS Explorer sinking made a lot of friends and family worry about the trip. Myself and Terry figure the boats will be even more aware and that is better for us. Luckily nobody was hurt in the incident but sad to see the loss of the ship.
Those people also get to ride in a Hercules- not bad three adventures within a week.

Nice little link on the M/S Explorer

We have all the final paper work in place and are ready to go.

The big issue is luggage weight. We arde limited to 44lb each. I am at 41lb but still need to put a set of boots in and the toilet items. Might have to take a hand razor instead of the battery one to save weight. :)

One useful item if anybody is going os Lip Balm with Sun Factor 30- sunburned lips is something you do not want.

We have found it will be very hard to do a daily update on the blog on the trip due to the internet link only being text only and not a weblink - but will try and work on that.

Well more at the weekend for the final countdown.
