The Beginning

LBM:  So....we're officially on our travels. Sitting in Gatwick waiting the obligatory 5 hours until the next flight as all Guernsey travellers can empathise with! AK was setting up the blog and I was watching from afar so I didn't get in the way :-( Had such a stressful few days before we left, spent yesterday in a hotel with beers, wine, room service, a good film and 16 hours of sleep.

Carrying around my 20kg rucksack with minimal complaining so far - apart from it lands directly on my waist band so as I walk it slowly pushes my trousers down. Not a pretty picture.
Meeting our fellow travellers at check-in in a couple of hours. I hope they like us!!

AK: Yep, except the film was crap. I suggest nobody out there watches the new 'Sherlock Holmes'. Also, gonna set LBM up with her own log-in for this so we don't have to initial our comments. I'm tired. PS No Lara, we won't be going to Bangladesh on our trip around Africa!!
