This is London calling

Well, we have made it, almost.

Today has been the final day of our stay in the UK.

Natalie and I have been packing and tidying up in preparation to move out of our place in London and hop on the plane tomorrow morning.

Packing and tidying up isn't a big headache. The biggest problem we have faced is trying make sure our bags are under weight for the trip home. Even though we are going via the USA and therefore allowed to take 2 checked items weighing 23kgs each, we have filled that very quickly! It is a drama. Actually getting things disconnected and final bills sorted out has been slightly painful but no worse than expected.

But what an adventure! Next stop, Lincoln, Nebraska, where the weather is very warm - mid 30s!

There are going to be aspects of life over here that we miss but we are both very much looking forward to returning home to our family and friends in Australia.

And so we say to this old land, "Toodle-ooh!... Au revoir!... Auf Wiedersehen!... Ciao!"
