…and onto a plane!!!

After a tough few weeks it’s finally time to start our gap year!! honeymoon!!!

At the risk of getting people excited, we really now feel like we’re doing this holiday for 3 people. The road from Snug Tavern*, to Wrest Point to Monte Carlo is long, but I’m sure we’ll be hearing the voice of our much missed Monnie on more than just the tables of Monte Carlo, but telling us to live more at every chance we get.

We’re currently sitting in Perth’s 5 star (I did type “5 rats” but autocorrect has a strong Perth bias) international airport drinking bubbles out of what we hope is the last plastic glass we see for 8 weeks!

Stay tuned,

Mr and Mrs Stewart
*For those that don’t get the reference and to the surprise of those that do, Snug Tav actually has a website: http://www.snugtavern.com.au

You can almost hear the sound of heads hitting car doors and willies hitting pool tables.  Bring on Europe.

Could all the countries we’re now visiting please step forward…not so fast Luxembourg. You’re so cut.

In a moment of Newtonian* inspiration when the answer became obvious as to what to do with the oranges that kept falling from our tree, we’ve decided to spend more time in Champagne (both geographically and physically)! 

…the answer was mimosas.

*If you replace the brainpower with hangovers and the reading with Netflixing the Champagne region…

 And yes I just downloaded a photo editor…is 20 effects too much or not enough?

One month to take off!!

In a last minute (editor: still some 45000 or so minutes left) change of “plans”, Lea and James are now going to 10 countries…what?

• Same 6 real ones from before;
• Same 2 tax havens (the one with yachts and the one with the guy in the hat who gets his ring kissed);
• And 2 new ones that have only just been added because we can.  Not because one of our sisters and her family (no names mentioned) just visited 7 countries in 2 weeks and got us thinking we were taking it too easy on ourselves.

So now we’ll be eating fondue in Geneva and <insert convincing Luxembourgian activity> in Luxembourg!

But wait, James (and/or Lea), don’t you want to relax on your honeymoon?  Pff…not this time!

A very long countdown of 11 weeks begins here! And unfortunately only the very intelligent / 80s people will get the reference to the post heading, but thought it was better to use it here than annoy everyone in the sure to be tedious Europe 2015 video coming SOON!!!!*

*Not really soon…
