Mike and Mel's American adventure
In and around South America
wooooo, so the day is finally coming. Me and Mel off to the far flung corners of the world in search of adventure. We fly to Buenos Airies on the 12/04/06 and out of Vancouver on the 12/07/06 (ish) anything could happen between and probably will. We will hopefully be meeting up with few familiar faces along the way and even making a new friend or two as well. Its going to be soooo good, first stop BA then onto one of the biggest waterfalls in the world for Easter.
So in the words of a very wise mammal: So long and thanks for all the fish..........
