Booked it, Packed it, About to .............

From tomorrow we'll be computer-less so this will be our very last UK entry on the blog (for a while at least).

Work finished for us both on Wednesday so now our trip is a lot more real and the list of things left to do is shrinking all the time.

Friday was DD day - I met up with the girlies for our big trip to London. The trip started with a lovely bottle of champagne on the train to Paddington and a quick lunch in the hotel before we headed to Covent Garden for a drink before the show. We managed to find the only pub in London that didn't stock blackcurrant so Lizzie missed out on her second favourite tipple, cider and black. Then it was over to the Alwych Theatre to find our seats....

The show was fantastic, we all loved it. As Nia said, she had the Time of Her Life. I think the grins in the image below backs this up!

After the show we had some food and and then headed back to the hotel where we were all tucked up in bed at the ridiculously early hour of 10.30pm - paid off next morning though as we hit Oxford Street and its shops. Seeing as I have NO space in my rucksack for anything else, I concentrated on getting Nia, Eleri and Lizzie to spend their money and I think I was very successful! It was a fab weekend and I really enjoyed.

Me and Gareth spent about 3 hours this afternoon going through the packing (again) and checking we have absolutely EVERYTHING we need. Our kit looks disturbingly small though - I have a feeling it's all going to be rattling around in Gareth's huge rucksack ... maybe I will manage to sneak a few 'luxury' items in after all!

That's all the news for now - I think this is a sensible place to sign off. Our adventure starts properly on Wednesday morning when we set off, trek-style, for Llanelli train station (Gareth thinks we're getting a taxi but I think we should start as we mean to go on) and find our (get this!) First Class carriage seats (a lovely unexpected upgrade courtesy of all the other Reeseys) for the journey to London Paddington. Let the fun begin!
