Today was our last day at work.
Its hard to describe how I feel right now. There's a real mixture of emotions - sadness and loss, but also a real sense of excitement at what is to come.
The best thing about working at NU was definitely the people - we'll miss not seeing the good friends we've made every day. This video is a reminder of some of them....

The Last Day
Thursday, August 23, 2007
Not long to go now!
Well, time has really flown over the last few months and we suddenly find ourselves with less than 3 weeks to go until we depart. Scary!
We are fairly well organised but still have a long "To Do" list which we are slowly working our way through. Its amazing how much there is to do before you can head off round the world for 8 months.

The itinerary is pretty well sorted out now. We have 5 weeks in SE Asia, starting in Hanoi and then working our way south through Vietnam and then crossing into Cambodia. The highlight of this leg of the trip will probably be Angkor Wat (above), but it looks like there will be so much to do and see there.
In the middle of October we fly to Perth where we'll spend a couple of weeks exploring Western Australia and visiting June's aunt Jean. Then its on to Darwin, Cairns and Sydney, before driving round the "bottom right" of Australia, through Melbourne and Adelaide and then up through the outback to Uluru and Alice Springs. We're really looking forward to visiting friends and family in Melbourne and Adelaide, and spending Christmas with the Steeles!
In mid-Jan we fly on to New Zealand, and have a couple of months to expore the islands. We will probably get a camper van for much of the time. We've both wanted to go to NZ for a really long time - June because of the scenery, Mark because of Lord of the Rings!
The final leg of the tour through South America starts in Chile and ends in Rio two months later. We're not too sure what we want to do yet, although Patagonia and the Iguassu Falls are definitely on the list. The Argentinian steaks might be worth a try too!
The current plan is to arrive back home in mid May......
