Well, only 5 sleeps to go 'til I jet off to the states on my much anticipated holiday! I cannot wait, but also a little nervous! So much to do before I leave, and so many people to catch up with too.

Summary: 4 weeks 5 countries 12 flights / 60hrs 'in the air' 2 ferries 3 car hire and many more ;) I and a friend of mine went on a trip to Australia and New Zealand. On the way to New Zealand we stopped for a few days in Tokyo, Japan. On our way back to good all Europe we stopped in Hong Kong and Macau.

Two almost grey nomads with a Turbo Diesel Landcruiser, a camper trailer and 2 small boys. We must be crazy!

3 good Aussie mates travelled to Japan to experience one of the worlds best snow resorts. The people, snow & food were all perfect.
