Scotland and England 2007

The car hire is booked, the accom in London and nearly even the accom near Bristol for the last bank holiday of the UK holidays.
Yay. Only 21 days to go!

Not only have the passports arrived, but my friend Jack Jack rang last night, which was exciting enough as it was, to say that she has secured us three tickets to the Tattoo for, wait for it......... face value price!!! I had resigned myself to paying exorbitant scalper prices, or missing out entirely! I'm now officially 'so excited' about my trip!

YAY I'm soooo excited. I have just paid the deposit on our tickets to the UK. We are departing Australia on the 25th of July and returning on the 6th of September! We are flying Finnair, mostly because this saved us around $450 per ticket compared to flying Qantas (most of our actual flights are still Qantas flights though) We get to spend an hour in Helsinki airport on the way home.
Next steps are car hire in Scotland and accom in London!

Yay, I have (after two goes) submitted my passport form! Neil got his in last Friday. Next steps are:

• book tickets
  
• purchase some currency
  
• pick things to visit
  
• pack
  
• leave
  

I'm sure I can come up with a few more steps when we get closer

Neil and I haven't been on many holidays together over the time we have known each other, but we have done some short trips. We been on some bushwalks:

• Wonangatta Valley (1994)
  
• Willson's Prom (1994)
  
• Brisbane Ranges (1995?)
  
• Grampians (1994, 1995 and others)
  
• Victorian High Plains (various)

Other trips for the weekend include

• a number of Jag Car Club (S-type register) trips
  
• mystery flight to Sydney (Aug 1995)
  
• Port Fairy
  

We also had a week long holiday in the MX5 (ie: Tiny car) along the volcano trail in western Victoria in September 2003. The only other one I can think of was a work trip to Brisbane in May 2005 that I had that we added a few days to either end of, which was fun.
The main reason I have started this blog is for our up comming big trip to Europe. I am so excited, as I have never been OS before.
