Packed and ready to go

David here, arriving into the new decade (some would say this century) embracing technology and the ability to blog! Well, it's been nearly 8 months in the planning but we are packed and ready to go. We've all been ready and anxious for the last couple of days for our once in a lifetime trip. Firstly, I'm looking forward to catching up with my good mate Pete, Janita and their beautiful family in Perth, although reliving the Pies premiership win will be painful!  A few overdue beers on Australia Day should kick off some amazing memories and unreal adventure. Too many highlights ahead of us to single out one thing I'm most looking forward to, but the Maldives have been on the hit list for over 15 years and will hold a special significance for me. Anyway, you all stay safe and well and we embark with good intentions to keep you all up to date...we'll see how long we can keep it up for. Cheers for now. DB.
