Recon to Ulaan Baatar is a go!!!

Today we received our e-tickets for our visit to Ulaan Baatar (UB), Mongolia - to see if we are up for the challenge to live there for 2 years! It made start thinking, planning, wondering (worrying) about a million things....and I thought now is the time to re-start and re-task my little blog! In hindsight - I should have started a blog when we were moving to the UK and chronicled our amazing adventures here - maybe I will do a summary at some point! I am very good at taking

photos, scrap booking memories and keeping tickets of events - but the idea of a blog to record the memories and experiences coupled with the ease of sharing them is appealing! So my new goal it to stick at this blog thing! We have had the most amazing 3 years in Gerrards Cross and they have flown by so quickly. Here we are on the cusp of a mind blowing adventure! Although we have not yet formally accepted the position in UB in our heads I think we up are for it! The kids are all quite keen - most days anyway! We fed them tidbits of information and photos over the time that Jeff was doing a project there recently. Plus the fact we can all go and have a look - see the school, housing and area before we make our final decision is fantastic and crucial to the success as a family of making this move a good one. So, it's going to be a wild ride - of that I have no doubt - but nothing worthwhile was ever gained easily I believe and there is a lot to be gained from this journey ahead. Now - what to pack??????
