Thank you to all that have contacted us and for the lovely comments, support and advice that has been offered.
To answer a few questions. Yes, as time is drawing closer the excitement is growing. We are not really sure MJ understands about the length of time we will be away, but Mum and I are doing are best to show him where we will be going and involve him in the preparation process as much as suitable for his age.
It has been an interesting and busy few weeks. MJ turned two and whilst it may seem a small thing in the larger world, it was a huge milestone for us!!! Mum and I also celebrated our birthdays, but it was celebrating little man's birthday that was our November highlight.
As for the cruise and getting ready to go we completed our shopping lists, of which there were six different types going at one point!!! Even more exciting is that we obtained our visas for China!!! The practice pack went okay, except that we are now taking six large cases, two smaller cases, two large holdalls and our carry on bags. Thank god for unlimited baggage allowance is all I can say.
So all this means that we are now ready to go with just three weeks to wait until we set sail with just a small thing called Christmas to distract us from our trip of a lifetime.
Hope you enjoyed reading and Merry Christmas All,
Nicky
