I am going to attempt to document the planning and execution of our journey back to the UK. For me it will be the first time in 40 years. Chris has only been to Australia on business, so this is a huge adventure for us both. We are so excited to be seeing my family, most of whom I have had little contact with over this time. A sweetener for Chris is going to the TT races on the Isle of Man in July. In addition, we will be doing this leg of our journey with some friends from New Zealand, who have been traveling for the last 18 months. It will be great to catch up.
Finally, we have been able to get a family member to do some house sitting for us. This has been a huge worry as I have been reluctant to put my lovely dog in the kennels for 6 weeks. Tegan, Chris's daughter will be looking after the house and dog and hopefully the fish. Yay Tegan!
There will be a relief teacher in my class for the term. I am somewhat concerned about this, but you can't have all things all ways. The only alternative was not to go! I have a tough class this year and am only just starting to make some headway with them. Only 3 more school weeks before I have to let them go. Silly school policy says I have to take the whole term off, instead of the time I will be away. Never mind. I will use this time to plan the trip better and get in some well earned r & r.
