Less than 24 hrs

Travelling down to London in preparation for tomorrows flight (Aimee said to mention it's a moon hotel, some inside joke I miss out on).

Online check in is complete
Passports packed
Money check
Tickets check
If it's not in the bags now it's too late, although my mom is still knitting.

If I was a sporting man I would say it was like waiting on the pitch for a match to start. There is definitely a bit of tension, not knowing what is coming, running over the list. The check in desk feels like a starting line, after that point all of the planning and excitement and dreaming gets mixed up turned into something new.

Saying all of the "see you later"s has been hard because we know that we will be missing out on sharing loads of experiences with friends and family. House warming parties at first homes, greeting new babies into the world, the first words and steps of others that we have only recently met. The world seems a smaller place than ever with so may different ways to stay in touch but we know that we are trading the experiences we will have on the road for those we would share at home. Thanks to everyone who has given us an amazing send off over the last few weeks.

That is quite enough emoting for one man so I will get back to my guide book...

so what is there to see in this place they call the big apple?
