Only 6 more sleeps!

Our flat is almost empty!  What an exciting 5 weeks it has been!  The trick to selling up your life to embark on a long term adventure... have a plan, work your plan and you will achieve your goals. 

The first leg of our journey kicks off on Monday morning early bells.  We climb on the bus and travel to Howick, where we will stay for a short while until we depart SA.  We are estimating approximately 2 weeks, dependent on flight availability.  We will be visiting friends in the Midlands and Southern Drakensberg, where we will do some fly-fishing and hiking.  Only 6 more sleeps :-)

The next 6 days are filled to the brim with family, friends, Bon Voyage celebration on Friday evening, lunch with friends on Saturday, work on Sunday morning and then another gathering with friends on Sunday afternoon at the Irish Club.  Let the good times roll.

Joshua is taking this entire process in his casual stride.  This change in lifestyle and country can only benefit him as he grows up.  First and foremost he will learn to speak Spanish quick quick, he will be sailing on a yacht in the Caribbean, what more could a 4 year old boy ask for.  We do believe that Joshua will simply be Joshua and lead this entire adventure, with his Mom and Dad happily in tow.  His personality, confidence and eagerness to learn is admirable.  A brave young man with the world in the palm of his hands.
