OK…So I was prepared to write an immersive, intriguing and informative blog today. Listing all the checks and stuff that’s required before leaving but honestly I’m too tired. No photo’s, no tales, just this rather bland update. My son is chilled, excited and ready. I’m exhausted, nervous and apprehensive. Friends and family have given the rightly justified encouragement and yet it hasn’t had much effect. Yesterday at midnight I was in a blur of YouTube videos on traffic stop signs in the US. The more I watched the more I forgot how to drive in general. So I surrendered to sense and got some sleep. I am petrified of flying so I have 10 hours of tension ahead of me, my son, chilled yet again. So tomorrow I’ll post as much as I can, to get into the swing of this blogging thing.

Actually…I will include a photo of my mums dog who we are blessed with for a while. He had his trim today ready for the hand over to our valued friend and neighbour.
