You want me to fit a wardrobe into a suitcase? Impossible!

Ok well maybe not impossible.... but as far as I was concerned it got pretty close to being so!

In case you're wondering what on Earth I am babbling on about; Stuart decided that this week we were to sort out our ENTIRE wardrobe so that we could work out what was coming with us and what was to be sent straight to Guernsey! Doesn't sound too complicated a task does it? Well it was (for me anyway... not so much for Stu)! All I can say is where a magical Mary Poppins bag when you need one?

Anyway after much blood, sweat and tears I am now happy to report that all the sorting has now been done and that a portion of our wardrobe is sailing it's way to the Channel Islands as we speak! Let's hope it makes it there..

TO BE CONTINUED....

Decisions, Decisions...

What an amazing and expansive world we live in! Just look at it!!! So many places to go, so many things to see, so many cultures to experience... where ever will we find the time?

When it comes to travel and exploration how many times have you found yourself saying "How great would it be if..." or "One day we're going to..." or "you know i'd love to see..."? Stuart and I know it all too well..

Well this year is going to be different - Stuart and I have decided that 2010 is going to be our year of European travel and adventure! We have scrimped and saved, handed in our letters of resignation (very scary!) and will leaving the sunny shores of Australia bound for London on 20th May 2010!

We have created this blog for 2 reasons really; 1, so our family and friends can keep track of us as we traverse Europe and 2; so that we can share our travel experiences (or "Travel Recipes" as we like to call them)! We are no travel writers that's for sure, but we do hope that you enjoy our tales! Who knows.. maybe they will awaken the dormant adventurer in you all!

Welcome to "ChickenStew's Travel Recipes from around the World"!
