Why is it that the week before setting off is always so hectic? You always find something that has been overlooked. This time it was the annual travel insurance that expires on 10th November that we had forgotten to renew. Terry phoned the insurance company two minutes before they close for the weekend!!! But we managed to get it sorted for the insurance to carry on in November and we can breathe again!!!!
We have been steadily working through a long list of things to do to get ready and it has shortened quite considerably. Terry has been very busy investigating what we can do and see in Georgia and the Carolinas and booking all the relevant things for us.
This week we have been showing our daughter, Helen's friend,Kim, who lives in Colorado, round our local area. She is over for a three week holiday, so we have been trying to take her to all our beauty spots and historical places before we leave. We have been to Durham to see the Norman Cathedral and Castle, Whitby, which is a lovely old fishing port, a tour round some of the most pretty Yorkshire villages and various other local places. One includes a church with the most complete medieval wall paintings in the country.Very cool - Kim's remark! She and Helen went on the overnight coach to London last night and are having two days there to see the sights. They will be back before we leave on Sunday. They plan to go to York and Edinburgh soon.
We set off from home on Sunday to travel to Manchester where we will stay overnight in a motel, before getting to the airport at 7 am for the 10.30 a.m. flight on Monday.
Getting excited. Can't wait to have some warm weather as we have had a diabolical summer with only 20 days of warmth over 70. Camping has been such fun in the cold and rain!!!!
We are looking forward to renewing our friendships with some of the lovely folk we have met on our travels.
USA here we come gain!! Yippee!!
