Deby's Travelling Thoughts

My name is Deby, I'm a 50 somethin'-or-other woman who has just entered the age of , dare I say it? Grandmotherhoodism. I was in denial for 9 months but when the most beautiful baby in the whole wide world EVER was placed in my arms by eldest son I kinda thought "yeah, I think I'll be loving you"

 Let me go back a few steps before we all lose ourselves in the wonder of babies.

It was only 6 months ago that youngest son flew the coup to be with a terrific chickeebabe (coup/chickeebabe. Get it?) That day is hard to forget. When the door closed and youngest son had really gone my husband, Martin, (name has not been changed because there is no innocence there to protect) and I looked at each other like we had not looked at each other in 20 years. Romantic right?

Nah...... I was thinking, strangely in a Chandler Bing voice, "Oh My God, who are you?"
He was thinking "Why are you so old?" I don't know whose voice he was hearing, maybe Janice?
We were both thinking "Just you and me for the rest of our very long, long lives?"
We didn't verbalise our thoughts though, we just smirked, shrugged and sat in front of the telly for about...... hmmm roughly 3 weeks.

This story is leading nowhere. Really. Absobloodylutely no where.
So let's talk about what this blog suppose to be ........

Martin and I love to travel. No fancy Monte Carlo, Venice, Paris, Auckland trips for us. No sir-ree, I've never even been out of the country, we like to tour Australia, like the Leyland Brothers, except without the caravan and the movie cameras and the kids. And when we travel we like to talk about it. So this is what the blog is about. Over the next couple of days, weeks, years, decades, I'm going to ramble on about our trips gone by and trips in the future including a big one we are taking in July this year.

There'll be lots of pictures too. If it's possible there might even be a video or two. As long as someone shows me how to load videos onto the blog.

See you soon
