Welcome to Nicolette & Brandon's travelling blog. We have started this blog as a means of keeping friends and family up to date on how things are going on our trip, as well as a great way to record memories day to day so that in a couple of years we won't have forgotten the funny, weird and frustrating things that have happened along the way.
We fly out in 17 days (who's counting?) and in the meantime are frantically trying to wrap things up at work, sort out pet accommodation and wind things to a close at home before we go.
I've taken to learning some french in the car on the way to/from work so that I hopefully won't completely embarrass myself while in France, Switzerland and Belgium - I speak enough high school German to order a sandwich and get myself arrested so that will come in handy in Austria, Germany and Switzerland too.
I can pretty much just say "Hi", "Bye", "Please", "Thank You" and "Do you speak English?" in Spanish and Italian...god help us if they say no..at that point we resort to Charades..
