Hello all,Welcome to our travel blog.How very exciting.Chris and I have no idea how to use this thing yet as complete technophobes.We are still basking in the glory of buying and down loading tunes onto our M.P.3 player.

So we may be a bit wobbly at this business and if we get photos on here it will be a small miracle.I would like to thank Harry Samuels for setting this blog up for us.Clearly a boy(he is only 11) with more sense than Chris and I put together and that includes our common sense gained over a combined age of 75 years.

As I write this i am coming up to my last week at work which is very good news!Has not quite sunk in yet and although we have ruck sacks I still cant believe we are actually going.We are flying to South Africa on 16th October and I get the feeling we will be using this blog quite a lot.

However as this is just a quick hello i will keep it short and will be writing great tales of many things soon.See you !
