Cheesus. It's getting close now isn't it?
Madly trying to get everything down whilst Cassy sits two postgraduate exams and I try to shrug off the ill effects of RaRaVee. There hasn't been any time at all for last minute sight seeing of Derby. Which is a blessing because with all the roads to the good spots closed there is nothing to see here!
Our house is about half packed ahead of the removalists coming on Wednesday. And we have a couple more things to smash the place into tenantable condition. Then we just have to say goodbye, leave and start the journey.
We are taking the slow approach to our travels. Friends of ours (Adam and Vanessa of catching barramundi fame) have just gone to Canada from Derby. They did the drive to Broome, fly to Perth, fly to Melbourne, fly to USA, fly to Canadia all in one long push. I think they said 36 hours of travelling. We are taking a more leisurely route.
In 9 days we drive from Derby to Broome with Sam and Ayesha. We overnight in Broome to take in some fine foods and a last look at Cable Beach. Then we fly to Perth for two nights. We leave Perth at 5am on Tuesday morning and fly to Sydney then on to LA. We then overnight in LA to try to kill some of the jet lag before heading to Vancouver the next day. Basically we are taking four times as long to do the trip as Adam and Vanessa.
But I still reserve the right to whinge about jetlag....
