Packing.

Biscuit Mania
Henna’s undertaking a major farewell present task! A card and a world themed chocolate chip cookie for all her classmates!
Arlo played a big supporting role in this and then decided to hand out chocolates to all his classmates after we used up all our ingredients.
10 days to go!
Arlo’s adventure
I’m looking forwards to meet elephants in my heart
I’m sad about missing school, my friends and playing tig.
This is Spencer, we’re brothers
Don’t forget Spencey!
Henna’s busy making a note for the inside of her suitcase! Mega important that we never leave Spencer Bear behind!
I need one that says don’t forget everything else but there’s not a suitcase lid in the world big enough to fit a list that long!
It’s not about the money, money money!
So we’ve been finding out all about different currencies and what £1 buys you! Get your counting heads on kids! Way too many notes to show but here’s a selection. Who da thunk that you could spend a colon? : But you can! Costa Rica!
What more do we need?
Passports, jab certificates, sun cream, insect repellent, hand sanitiser and credit cards…. just need a clean pair of knickers and we’re off.
MY FEELINGS, BY HENNA
I am really excited for our world trip , but there a few good and bad things about going around the world . The good bit is that we get to go and see all these wonderful places in lots of different countries . The bad news is that we have to miss school and it won’t all be to a regular daily basis , I think I’m going to miss the routine of a normal day at school. I do and also don’t want to miss school because I shall miss all my friends especially my close ones, luckily I have most of their email addresses so I can keep in touch with them .

Places to stay.
We’ve been busy since April 2017 researching, planning and deciding where we would like to go and where we would like to stay. It’s really important to me to know where we’ll be staying each night…no, we’re not winging it and ‘just going with the flow’ – this is a military like fine tuned operation, organised, safe and comfortable.
When you’ve got two young kids travelling around the world with you, ‘winging it’ is not an option.
Here are some of the accommodations we’ve booked up to now, from campervans to tents to lodges to cabins to buses to trains carriages to hotels to treehouses to sky high apartments to jungle yurts to farmstays to homestays…not too shabby eh?
