We like travel but did not do much outside the UK until our children had grown up and moved away. We needed the time and the money to do it! We both took early retirement - Elizabeth on health grounds and me from choice. We have been to New Zealand twice before and to Australia once but it will be our first time to Japan and San Francisco. We start our long trip on 1 November.
