We're off again...

Counting down to our departure in nine days time.  Lots to do before then!

Here's our itinerary (the short version!)

We head for Melbourne for two nights where Allan will attend a conference and I will shop (!)

Then we're off to London for six nights in London flying Qantas via Singapore.  Lots to see and do there that we didn't manage to see last time.

From there, we're flying to Toulouse to begin a road trip checking out Carcassonne, Albi, Sarlat, Tours, Bayeux and Rouen, including some of the WW2 sites.

We finish off with five nights in Paris.  Looking forward to just soaking up the atmosphere.

We meet up with our friends Janet and Phil for the last two nights so will have to find a swish restaurant to celebrate.

Allan's done a crash course in traveller's French and I have been practising the French I learnt for six years at school, so we will see how we go.

On the way home, we're stopping over in Singapore (where we've not been before) to see Allan's brother David, and Mary.  That'll be a highlight.

Home via Brisbane and Auckland after five weeks on our travels.
