Almost time to say Goodbye

Less than two weeks now until we leave our charmed life in Singapore behind for 3 months of living out of suitcases and (hopefully!!) the trip of a lifetime before we come home to Godzone. 

Here's an outline of our plans as they stand right now. Flights are all booked, except Christchurch to Wellington in November.  

Depart Singapore Sunday July 29 for Phuket, Thailand. We'll spend 5 days in Phuket before heading north to Chiang Mai. We are hoping to meet up with James and Holly in Chiang Mai as they will be arriving in Thailand for the last part of their trip around then. From Chiang Mai we will fly to Bangkok for 5 days, our last stop in Thailand. 

Next we fly to Hong Kong where we'll catch up with friends and also take the kids (ahem..Sarah) to Disneyland. Hong Kong will be our final destination in Asia, quite fitting as it was also our first home during this epic seven year OE. 

From Hong Kong we head to Paris, France, the start of our 2 month adventure in Europe. We are still firming up accommodation plans and a rough idea of the route we'll take but we do know we'll start and finish in Paris. We hope to catch up with Janell and Alex somewhere in Italy, family in the Netherlands and finally Nina and Giles and their kids for more Disney fun in Paris in October. 

With a bit of luck we should have wifi access for most of our trip so we should be able to keep you all posted on our travels and all the fun we'll be having (ha!). 

Our final stop before we hit Christchurch, NZ on November 1 will be Melbourne to spend some time with Mike's family and to start acclimatising to the weather. We'll be there for a couple of weeks and would love to see friends (Liz!) while we're there too. 

For now, it's time I got back to selling baby gear on Facebook and perhaps dinner at some point too.
