'''Twas the night before take off "

 'Twas the night before take off and all through the house, not a crumb can be found for a little grey mouse.
The cases are packed and stood up by the door and after a shower we'll fill them with more!!

We've done online checkin and now the journey feels real,
To be travelling so far is a bloody big deal!!

Best give up at this point and keep Clement Clarke Moore's version for Christmas..

Early night and early morning, then we are off on a voyage of discovery.

Almost ready for take-off!!

It was January when the idea of celebrating a big birthday by travelling far, far away,

to have an adventure before dementia and experience a culture far removed from our own, was first mooted.
 Never having been one to hang about, the research began.
Which way round..... find a travel agent or decide on a route? I knew that I wanted to see the Himalayas, certain famous cities, temples, forts and colour, The Taj Mahal, a National Park with elephants and tigers, the Kerela backwaters and a few days on the beach to recover!!
Throw in a long haul flight, a rickshaw ride, a houseboat, an Indian sleeper train and a narrow gauge Toy Train and you have some idea of what I wanted for a big birthday gift to myself.
Well a wonderful gentleman by the name of  Brijesh has created the perfect itinerary and in a few days Daf n' Sue are off on the road, ( no the camper stays at home ) off into the skies, en route for New Delhi via Dubai.. watch this space!!  🇮🇳
