A cautionary tale

Just 7 more sleeps to go until we fly out. I'm finally getting excited. A lot of people were wondering why I wasn't excited earlier and I don't really have an answer for that although I do have a small tale of woe to tell.

Euan became an Australian citizen on May 15th and was very specific about asking during the interview process if he needed to get an Australian passport. He was told that all he need to do was make sure he got his Residents Visa put into his British passport so off he goes on Friday to do just that only to be told that he has to have an Australian passort. I am surprised I couldn't hear the screams from here. Interview has now been done and we hope the passport will be ready tomorrow!

We have been busy on the phone organising global roaming and letting the banks know that we are travelling and to please not panic and put a stop on our cards!! I've printed off the maps of London and Paris and the timetables for the Tour de France for the first and last stages. I can't believe we will be seeing the TdF LIVE! I'm really hoping Robbie McEwan can take out the final sprint. I'm contemplating taking an Aussie flag so he notices us.
