Time's up

With a day left at the Stratford flat Jo and I are about to embark on The Big Trip. Tomorrow we head off to Gatwick airport to stay at the lovely Premiere Travel Inn, Gatwick. We'll let you know how that one goes. It's a very early start on Monday morning as we check in at 4.55am. Ouch! Then it's off to Venice! Yay!

I have just bought a digital camera so I will be able to keep you all up to date with photos and the like.

Phase 1 of The Big Trip is about to start. Excitement......
