Well, it all begins in 4 sleeps!  There are back-packs, lonely planets and pegless clotheslines all over the house!

We depart for London at 5:30pm on Sunday 4th March.  We arrive in London after a brief stopover in Bangkok at 6:20am on Monday 5th March.  We are staying with Lilian which will be fab.

We then spend the next 6 weeks exploring France, Spain, Italy, Croatia, Switzerland, Germany, Czech Republic and the Netherlands.  Paris, Barcelona, Rome, Lucerne, Dubrovnik - I can't wait!  Our homeward journey takes us for a peaceful stopover in Thailand where we visit Phuket, Koh Samui and Bangkok.

This is Brocks first time overseas and my third adventure OS.  There are some places we will visit that are new to me and many places I have visited and loved.

We arrive home on the 29th April.

See you when we get back!

Hey Jac and Brock. Hope the trip is going well and you are having an awesome time. How was Lil - did you have lots of fun partying with her? So where are you now? We all want to read what you are up to. Everything is same old, same old back here - we lost netball by heaps last night. I think we're in division 1 and its not good so hopefully they'll put us down a division. I'm no where near the GS you are Jac but hey I just pass it to Ben and its all good, hehe. Anyway hear from you soon. Enjoy!!!!

Hi guys. Not sure how long you're back in Paris for but if you're still there can you do me a favour and get a brochure with the layout of the metro rail system (in English if possible) and a timetable. Hope you're taking it easy with the chocolate!

Hey Guys, well Jamie arrived home last night at around 7.30pm. Very tired I might add, went to bed last night at 11pm and only just woke up at 3pm. He had an awesome time and I am sure when you get back you will all have fun swapping stories and pictures. Be safe and have fun, Jamie & Tarlie xx

Hey Guys Just signed up to your site after two weeks off in Byron Bay. Had the idea of visiting there every 6 months but considering how awesome European experiences can be I think I'll get the lady to rethink that idea! Hope you guys are going great.. .

Hey guys, assuming you will be in London when reading this? I hope the flight over didn't drag and you were both able to relax and perhaps have a few beverages! I am thinking of you both and am looking forward to reading little tid bits about the trip and of course seeing you both when you return. I am sure Jamie says hi, I think today he was going to be swimming with the great white sharks in Capetown - eeh! Take care and stay in touch. Love Tarlie xx

Hey Guys, what part of the world are you at present? We are wishing we could be there but last time I checked still in Mitchell Park, SA. Jamie has survived his first 2 days back at work, not much doing by the sound of it so seems a little bored even. At least no stress to go back to! My work is the opposite, flat out. Our major conference is in 4 weeks time and lets just say, not a lot is organised. Jamie has internal footy trial this Friday and then a bonding session after this. Brock can you clear up why Footy guys need bonding sessions? Anyway hope this finds you both happy and healthy. Thinking of you, Jamie & Tarlie xx

Mum and Dad Baker Hi hope the trip is going well. We've just had the marathon journey to Lakes Entrance on Friday - 8 1/2 hour trip due to 2 1/2 hours getting through Melbourne. Hope some of your trips between destinations have been quicker than this. We're having a relaxing time looking forward to reading about your exploits. Love from Mum and Dad xoxo Atina Shaun and Julia Hi Brock and Jacqui. We've just been in reading your travel blog. What a great idea! I've spent a week in Melbourne with the girls doing touristy stuff with Mum and her brother. Jacqui i had a shopping spree that lasted two days which was really fun and you would've loved it. Anyway Shaun was at home for a week on his own while we were adventuring. I'm sure you two are also adventuring lots and having a great time. Last night we went to a wedding and had a really late night. Margaret and Harold did a really good job with the girls and survived putting both Ebony and Julia to bed for us. We're together for the next few days so we'll sign on again and hopefully hear from you again. love from Atina

Hello Aussie Travellers. Just letting you know all is great on the home front, I can't begin to tell you how much I am loving your house! It's so neat, tidy, clean and organised! It's so nice to have my own space and the rascal is chasing me around the house to play games with me and even lets me pat him when he knows he is going to be fed! Keep in touch, feel free to stay longer in fact!

Hello Aussie Travellers, just a quick update to let you know I have won the Hudson game. After playing 'hard to get" he has given in now and craves my attention. He have already had a couple of sessions with his toys. All smiles on the home front. Have fun! KellyX
