(This year's theme was 'Chicago')
... we also had our very own 'leaving do'...
(The theme was: Drink as much beer as possible with no food)
... and of course, birthday drinks, friends' Christmas parties, final book club of the year, not to mention the ridiculous night of karaoke with my advertising agency. Thankfully, no pictures of that one (that I have been made aware of).
But, all good things must come to an end, and so today 3 gents came along and packed up our stuff and hauled it away. Mom & Dad, here's what you can expect arriving in a few weeks' time:
 |
| Not too bad, eh? |
And so, I'm sitting here in an apartment which is empty of all except the landlord's furniture, one turkey pot pie, oh, and a room full of 'don't pack it, we'll take care of it later' stuff ... some to be lugged to Colchester (Jason's mum's) tomorrow, and the rest of which to be lugged around the world!
 |
| Be afraid. Be very afraid. |
Possibly one or 2 more updates to come before we take off on 2 January, but we hope to be actively blogging as we circumnavigate. Fingers crossed that we don't get another inch of snow that cripples the airport, and we'll be off a week from Sunday! As they say, watch this space.
Merry Christmas to all!
-Jess & Jason
