Last night in England

 Evening all,

We are sat here checking that we have all our documents - there would be nothing worse than arriving in Hanoi to find one of us had left our visas! We both can't quite believe that tomorrow we set off for the trip of our lifetimes. For Becky this the last night in her family home and she is quite emotional about that (her parents are moving house). Fortunately they have told her they are moving house so there won't be any awkward turning up on the doorstep in February and meeting someone different.

We have spent this last week together getting all the home comforts and luxuries we could possibly afford. On Monday Becky cooked Rob a three-course meal, Tuesday was the spa day, and today Rob was given a workout at Clubbercise. We think this will be the last chance to relax as we are given to understand that next week will be quite intensive - rather like a Freshers' Week - so we have been adjusting our bodies back to student level alcohol this week - see attached pictures.

Anyway we think we will both miss home but are excited to experience a new culture and place in a depth that is often not possible on a shorter holiday-style trip. We look forward to keeping you informed of our adventures in South East Asia.
