To do...

With time steadily and rapidly disappearing, the long list of things we still need to do doesn't seem to be getting much shorter.  We need to pack our things and move it all out of Ben's place,  pack our bags for the trip, eat about a dozen different meals to say goodbye to our friends and family, plus a thousand others things like those.

We have managed to cross a few things off the list though, which is gratifying.  We have our passports with the necessary visas, we have foreign currency sorted, we've offloaded our cars while we're gone, had our final stay at Bruny for the next 5 months, and completed stage 2 of the brick pizza oven with Jez and some helpers!  It went something like this:

For the record, they tasted great!  (It didn't really have anything to do with our trip but I'm proud of it, so...)

With only 9 days left it's starting to get real....
