20 sleeps before we leave

Sunday 10 May 2009.
20 sleeps before we get on the plane to set off from New Zealand on our grand adventure- all 4 of us -Helen, Lyndsay, Anne and Kaye to Hongkong/ England/Scotland for the first month. Then Anne and Kaye go to Paris and then home via Los Angeles whilst Lyndsay and Helen continue on to Finland, Croatia and Switzerland before coming home thru LA also.

PS Brinkies Brae is the hill above Stromness on the main island of the Orkney Islands, north of Scotland, where we plan to go before heading to Westray, an even further northern island where the Rendalls came from -we liked the alliteration !!
