One month to go...
Read back through our travel diaries
Suddenly time is creeping up rapidly - in a month's time we'll be waking up in Vancouver, on day one of our year-long trip. And suddenly it doesn't seem to be such a distant pipe dream, and it's all too close. Things are well in hand - we've pretty much got everything we need to go in our rucksacks, including all of our clothes, and all of the technology has finally come together - so we should be able to stand around street corners and other places in the cities, sending and receiving our emails. That's really quite exciting compared to last time we travelled, where the gap between sending a letter and receiving a reply was typically 4 weeks. The Internet has changed everything. It also means that we're more prepared to go than we would have been. In the next few days we'll finalise every aspect of our Canada trip, and then move onto some practical steps - seeing whether everything fits in the rucksacks will be interesting. We've also started to pack up our house, ready for the tenants to move into it (although, at the moment the agents haven't found any tenants, so that's a bit of a worry - but these things aren't worth worrying about, because we can't do anything about it now).
