This week we feel like we are in practice for the 12 months ahead with living out of one bag each; sitting in a car for many long drives and swapping beds frequently. We have stayed with my parents, Steve’s parents, a motel and friends. We have eaten a lot of take away food for lunch and dinner but also been very well fed at our ‘homestays!’
