5 Days to go

(Qawra, Malta)

All our vaccinations are done at last! We have been treated like pin cushions for the last few weeks but you gotta do what you gotta do...We have almost everything ready for our trip now. Just need to get some extra passport size photos for our visa approvals and get ready to pack our backpacks for the big day.   I know we have left the UK weeks ago but staying with family in Malta isn’t really the scary big adventure...that’s still to come (after months and months of preparation and dreaming about it, it is finally here...OMG!)

It is difficult to grasp when the sun is beating down but we were starting to get a little concerned with the weather in the UK causing disruption to our flights next Wednesday.  The snow has been falling thick and fast all over Britain and we have heard more is on the way...flights had been cancelled for two days from Gatwick which is very close to Heathrow, our first leg of our journey to Hanoi...They are just starting to clear the runways now so we could be in luck.

Whatever will be will be, I am sure this is the first of many things to test our patience.
