Ladies and Gentlemen your flight is now ready for boarding

Well, the bags are largely packed, the tickets are on hand, boarding passes printed, currency exchanges dealt with.

In a few hours we are off the airport, which is the first tangible sign we are on our way, but also the first challenge:

• Eight bags
• Three flights
• Two layovers
  
• 12 boarding passes
• One baggage transfer
• Total travel time - 25 hours, not including transit to teh airport and waiting around before we fly. Add that in and it's 28 or so.
  
• 2 children to keep occupied
• 4 very cramped economy seats

But we'll be right, it will all be over before we know it!

Have a great month while we are away, and we'll be in touch right here, on Odyssey d'Ambry.
