Its getting close

 I am so excited, I now have my Passport. Also by the end of this week the Visas my carers need will be applied for.

The Missus is planning to take lots of photos and I will choose the ones to go on this blog. I hope we get to see the Smoking Hills. I think we might even see the Northern lights. Am going to start packing, Toodle pip.
