I am "sort of " packed for the umpteenth time and probably not the last time, will still be adding or discarding things up to the moment my chauffeur says " I am leaving soon, get moving and get organised". Reality will hit when I pass across my passport to the Customs Control Officer at the airport and the first glass of wine that Sue and I will have on the Qantas flight will be well earned. We are flying on an Airbus 380 to Dubai where we will change to a Boeing 777 for the last leg of the journey to Dublin. where we will spend the first couple of days recuperating from jetlag and excitement.
I will walk some smaller 6 - 10klms before work this week, I only have 4 working days left before I start my LSL and an early morning walk up Mt Cootha next weekend as my final walk before I leave.
A very good friend told me last night that the hardest part of this sort of trek is not the walking but the organising and the training and I feel he may be correct as I have walked over 1000 klms in the last 15 months. 500 klms will be a lovely walk in the the park
The Cancer donation page is now over $7600 so I am still hoping to reach $10,000 before we close it down on 12th September. I would like to thank everyone for their patience and support for me over the past 15 months, I really started to doubt myself at times - had I taken on too much? I guess only time will tell.
I spent yesterday in Brisbane with my little grandson, a bit of me and him time before I go away and the next photo was taken as we sat having a picnic and watching the "ducks" - his version of anything that has wings and in this case they were pigeons. I will miss the three little ones while I am away.
Keep watching this space as we walk through the green fields of Ireland for Cancer Queensland.
