Duncans Dare

G is starting to get twitchy about travel plans. I think he'd go tomorrow if he could. Not without me of course, but still, he's champing at the bit.

I think this is mainly fuelled by watching Travel Bug on CBBC in the mornings. Former Blue Peter presenter Peter Duncan and his splendid wife and children backpacking round the world. Genius. They're going to all the places we'd like to see and more and doing it in a lovely unassuming way. I have no doubt I will be reduced to sulks (like the Duncan teen) and tears (like the rest of the Duncs) when things get rough though - it's good preparation for G.

Anyway, in an attempt to give ourselves a better handle on the timings of our trip, I have printed out some big calendar pages today and will take them home and stick them on the wall next to our map of the world with pins in. We really need to fix our flight dates in the next few days. Then it's time to book the tickets and sign up for a few injections...
