New Adventures

So, off on the big bird to Great Britain and Spain today.

The thrill of the new ,and of an adventure half a world away beckons.

I really like this quote from Bill Bryson which neatly encapsulates why travel is so beneficial for you:

“To my mind, the greatest reward and luxury of travel is to be able to experience everyday things as if for the first time, to be in a position in which nothing is so familiar it is taken for granted”

I expect to see plenty of things familiar to others, but novel to me, to feed this blog and hope to share them with you.

First things first, though….where the hell are my sleeping pills and earplugs for the 29 hour flight from New Zealand?
