We leave on 6th January and go first to Los Angeles, Las Vegas (for the Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam) Then on to the Cook Islands (Roratonga) for a week of Sun Sand and Sea :-)
then to the main reason for our trip - taking Ron to the place he's always dreamed about - New Zealand. He'll actually be spending his birthday there - a pleasent change from the chilly UK.
We have 9 weeks to explore both islands before moving on to see friends in Australia, a week in Singapore (we'll be there for our wedding anniversary) and finally a place Margery has always wanted to go, South Africa, before returning home flat broke and to a no doubt disgusted dog!
Simba will be with his friend, Bazil, and his very kind owners (thanks Val and Ian, we couldn't do this without you!)
Thanks also to Jenny and Dan, for far more information and advise than they probably realise gleaned from their epic American trip in 2007!
So if you want to follow what we're up to - watch this space! We'll post whenever we can, although it might be a case of doing the posts and uploading them a few at a time, when we can get a wifi connection!
