Bob & Jan Green RTW

Well, for those of you who don't already know, we are now back in the UK, having flown back from San Francisco last Thursday!

Why you may well ask! The main reason is that we were getting so tired of travelling!! Living out of a suitcase and travelling on to a new place each day has taken its toll and both of us are exhausted (in need of a holiday!).

We thought if we carried on round the USA we would not do it justice and so we have headed home for a break of 4-5 weeks after which we can return to the States and pick up our round the world ticket again.

We are staying with Jan's Mum and Dad in Marston as our house is still let out! (We can be contacted on Bob's mobile - 07780 682123 or via email at bgreen@broad.ndo.co.uk).

So, this will be our last blog! Thank you to everyone who has stuck with us on our travels. We have been getting over 800 hits on each update which is amazing! Thank you too to all those people who have posted comments - we loved receiving these as it kept a link with all our family and friends back home.

We look forward to seeing you all over the next few weeks and will bore you rigid with our thousands of photos!!

The fat lady has sung! Goodbye and thank you from Bob and Jan XX

Well, what a start to our last week before setting off on our travels. Our good friends Richard and Judy hosted a Christmas Dinner for us, ably assisted by Derek and Louise with pudding and mince pies provided by Penny and Ian. We even had our version of the Queen's Speech (by Richard dressed up as her Majesty - see picture below!!!)

"The Queen’s Address"

Off round the world he’s set to go, Bobby Green and his young Beau
He’s packed their bag and locked the locks. I hope they’ve remembered their flight socks.

They’ll see sights we’ve never seen, go places we’ve never been
Electric Strawberry is raring to go, with Bollard Naked in tow.
With a fart and a prayer along the way,
They will be seeing new sights every day.

I know young Kylie will give him a thrill,
But please don’t throw your underpants or you may catch a chill.

Foreign food may upset your tums,
If you go to Jamaica go steady on the rums.

They go to Ayers Rock, what a sight
They will see it both by day and night.

In Chiang Mai when Bob’s on his hash,
Jan we are sure will be out on the lash.

When they rest up for a while they will raise a smile,
Cos when Jan reads her book, Bob will give the girls a lecherous look.

But with regret we see them go,
But if we follow the blog we’ll keep in the know.

Bon Voyage!!!!

Not much more we can say after that!!!!

Just to point out, Bob belongs to Oxford Hash House Harriers and his hash name is "Bollard Naked". Somehow I seem to have been named "Electric Strawberry" - your guess is as good as mine!!

Only 2 weeks to go and a visit from our granddaughter Erin who would like to be packed in the suitcase to come with us! Mind you, with all the offers we have had we would need a container not a suitcase to transport everyone!

Thursday 28 September 2006 - All flights plans in place.
Most hotels booked for at least first few days in each place.
Will put up detailed itinerary shortly.
