Finally, all packed and ready to go!!!

I have always hated packing for holidays, but packing for a 3 month trip is the worst! I'm sure I have taken too much of everything but I just couldn't decide what to leave behind ... so it's all coming with me!

YAY!!! Less than 24 hours to go before take-off!

Farewell presents from MS!

Thank you to everyone for my lovely farewell presents and the beautiful flowers!

Irene, the card has still left both Adrian and I speechless! You are absolutely AMAZING and definitely the most thoughtful person I have ever met!

At least now, Adrian won't even have a chance to forget what I look like!

Tomorrow is the first day of the rest of my life ...

I have been talking about this day for as long as some of you have known me!

My last day of work, when I can finally say goodbye to spreadsheets and formulas (at least for the time being) and face the world of unemployment by gallivanting around the globe wine tasting in Bordeaux, learning to cook Italian in Genoa, catching up with friends in London & Glasgow, touring Romania, hiking in Montenegro, island hopping and kayaking in Croatia before heading up to St Petersburg to start the month long Trans Mongolian express to Beijing!!!

I can't wait, only a couple more days in HK before my first flight ...
