Not long now...

For those who don't know, we're off on a global trip - for a year or so.

Leamington has finally lost its sheen, after 16 long years (for me anyway) it's time for me (us) to say goodbye. Goodbye to the midlands, Goodbye to the video game industry, Goodbye to the UK, Goodbye to Europe...

Hello world here we come!

Guest Starring yours truly, my good wife Sarah and our good friend Simon.

Rough itinarary so far being:- India, Thailand, Borneo, Australia, New Zealand, Cook Islands, LA, Central America and South America.

In preparation for the trip, Sarah and I have now passed our Open Water Certification which means we can dive, we'll be hitting those reefs in Thailand, Borneo, Australia, Mexico, etc. no doubt swimming with turtles, rays, clownfish and er... possibly the odd shark or two :S !

Personally speaking I have every intention to ride down something as soon as possible on a bike - whenever the opportunity presents itself... currently eyeing up potentail in Bolivia. But hopefully sooner than that in Oz or NZ hopefully.

We should be hitting New Zealand bang on snowboarding season so spend a bit of time doing that...

Can't wait.

Last day at work today for me... then a few more weeks and we're off.
