It’s been a while in the making but today we set off for our adventures in South America. Well, Brazil and Argentina anyway. Meanwhile our normal (kind of) travel companions are also on their travels, Joyce and Enid in deepest, darkest Peru and Adrian and Pam in Canada and then Alaska!
So, today Jane and I have made it to our first stop, the Hilton Hotel, Terminal 5 Heathrow. We were going to be in the Ibis but upgraded because…..it’s my 60th birthday TODAY. I must say so far I rather like being 60, I’ve had a lovely day with lots of cards and amazing presents. How lovely everyone is. I’m very very thankful for all our lovely friends and family.
It’s 32 degrees outside and this is acclimatising us to the temperatures that we may get in Brazil. We’ve got a fantastic itinerary planned which even we can’t believe when we read it so I hope you enjoy travelling with us via my blog!
Meanwhile , here in the air con of our hotel room we’re celebrating with a complimentary drink , watching England v Ukraine before dinner.
See you in Rio ❤️

Ready for adventures.
