The 'Monica' tick-list is going well, over half of it is completed and 'ticked off' now! We will work on the remaining ones over the next 4 weeks then hopefully just shop, catch up with people, pack and chill for the remaining couple of weeks!
Tony's flight is booked for the week after ours, my bezzie Jo and I are dropping him off at the lovely cattery in Shropshire a couple of days before mine and Fran's flight. Bless him, he hates the 10 min car ride to the vets never mind a 2 hour drive to Shropshire followed by a 24 hour flight to NZ! Lots of prawns at the other end should make up for it, oh and a wonderful life hunting in his new garden jungle!
And for those wondering why Franny isn't accompanying Tony and I on the stressful journey... he's very busy that day... drinking beer and watching the England game! You men are such simple creatures.
We have booked our hotels for LA & Vegas, a lovely boutique hotel in LA called the Custom Hotel and the fabulous Luxor (Egyptian themed) Hotel in Vegas. Looking around for car hire to make the journey from LA to Vegas (4 - 5 hour drive) but its definitely going to be a convertible, got to haven't you?! I may even make Franny wear a head scarf and large sunnies... Thelma and Louise eat your heart out.
And our plan for arriving in NZ as new improved slender versions of ourselves? FAILED. We are both struggling to eat healthily, mainly I think because we feel we need to eat as much of our fave foods as poss as it will be a long time before we can sample them again!
Well I plan on an intensive diet and exercise regime starting from Monday, 6 weeks to become Cindy Crawford (will need to visit a stretching machine too) - easy peasy.
That's enough for this post I think, I would just like to end it by saying a big thank you to all those who have helped with our move, both practically and emotionally, you have been a great support (you know who you are) :-)
Hei konei ra (see you later)
