So what is my big news you may well ask?

Actually my pal Hugh was the only one who did. So perhaps he's the only person reading this (hello Hugh). Some of you will already know. I have decided its high time I did the travelling I never did a school leaver all those 16 years ago. So letter in hand after having purchased my ticket I went in to my employers to tell tham I will be going away for three months next year. I will leave at the beginning of Februry with a "Round the World" ticket. Ostensibly I'm travelling alone, but I will be spending a little time (around the time of our 5th wedding anniversary) in Chamonix, with Simon in March. Why am I going alone?
1) The trip I need /want to do is one that he experienced when he was young.
2) I am not aiming to go anywhere you can surf or ski
3) Someone has to work ( Jen : "YES Simon I put that in" :)
4) He gets sick of wandering around behind me while I take pictures of numbers.

I will miss him terribly.
But I am also so excited about the trip though, and at the same time quite terrified.
I will be coming back.
I am hoping to catch up with lots of friends along the way too so I won't get tired of spending entire days NOT TALKING TO ANYONE.

Over the next few weeks I'll upload my travel plans and a map of where I am going.
I am looking so forward to the travelogue I aim to complete while I am away.

so that's it.... BIG? Yes?
