St James' Way - Self-guided 4-7 day Walking Packages, Reading to Southampton, 110 kms
Getting Excited? (He said as he has his bag sitting next to him for comfort)
Not quite! Just-married-and-moved-to-the-other-end-of-the-country daughter and son-in-law are coming home this weekend so that takes precedence first! When I pick them up fomr the airport I think I might glance across at the international terminal and get a flutter in the tummy though!
Here are our bags: IMG_6665.JPG
Truly, we are bringing them! 115kg. They are filled with goodies for refugees and we're leaving them in Madrid. Our packs are sub-5kg carry-ons only (actually, mine is more than that but we'll redistribute my extra weight amongst the others in the case of an official who actually wants to weight them!
Wow. That sounds great. How many of you this year?
Four kids and me for the whole thing. Hubby and Grandpa coming for just over two weeks (and an uncle zipping across from Turkey for that portion too). You'll be off to the Portuguese before we're back I think.
 
I'm at the writing Birthday cards for someone to post while I am away stage. Final plans being put in place to ensure various people have support responsibilities for Mom. List of last minute jobs before I go made and being ticked off. I know one should not wish one's life away but I could happily lose the next 12 days! Come on May, just get here! You have been too long in coming!

Ha ha, love the bags. What a great idea. 5kg backpacks are a real achievement. Mine weighs in at 6 kg without water.
Back 1st July and off again in August. Might finally meet up in between. This time I bring the biscuits! Go well.
