We have set a date for our Big Fat Family Adventure to begin!
And by sharing this blog with you… I’m in fact taking a scary leap of faith and locking ourselves in to this “deadline”.
The date is: Early August 2013!
Why?
- Because Nick will have locked down and finished all of his huge, long-term film projects by then (and we’ll have a chunk of moola to invest into the first few months of our trip).
- Because my youngest sister, Andrea, will be on school holidays – and we want to do a family history tour at our first stop (England)… to visit the places where my dad spent his early childhood – and to hunt down the stories (and the graves) of our ancestors.
- Because the Edinburgh Tattoo is in August – and witnessing the amazing scene of hundreds of pipers piping and drummers drumming (complete with fireworks) has been on my bucket list forever!
- Because we’ll have the house renovated & rented by that time.
- Because my online (actual bona-fide, income-generating online-business will be launched & operating full-steam-ahead by August).
- Because if we don’t flippin’ lock down a DATE and a GOAL and a DEADLINE… we can be humming and hah’ing… and IF’ing and maybe’ing and making a gazillion excuses… and faffing with little details… and one-day-when’ing indefinitely! Enough already! It’s time to DO this thing!!
August 2013 it is!
The countdown begins! 🙂
Wow Heather that is exciting and scary at the same time, I will be following your adventure with great interest!
Yes! Definitely exciting AND scary! (eeek!) 🙂

We were thinking exactly that….
