In the build up to our trip, Lisa and I were really looking forward to including everyone in our adventure. Through various means of social media we were going to keep everyone abreast of our travels, posting videos, pictures and updating this blog with our daily escapades.
That was until a couple of weeks ago, where an incident, all to close to home, occurred.
Lisa was at work, doing a few extra hours to help catch up with a busy week at work and I was returning home from a PT session with my cousin. Turning into the road we live on, a police car was parked up outside our house and two police officers were walking around the house of our neighbours, across the street.
They were joined by another car and officers a few minutes later and a police dog unit. They were searching around the property for something but I could not tell what. Lisa returned home and we waited to see if we'd get a knock on the door...
Sure enough, around 9.30pm an officer came to the door to report that there had been a burglary and were out asking if we had seen anything. Unfortunately we couldn't help our neighbours as we were both out at the time.
Immediately my mind turned to our road trip and we decided that it'd be best if we didn't make it public knowledge that we'd be away and that unfortunately meant that we'd be unable to involve everyone in put travels.
Whilst the house won't be completely unoccupied during our absence, we feel it's better to keep details to a minimum BUT when we get back, it means we can relive the entire journey all over again by sharing all our pictures, video and memories with everyone - I guess every cloud does have a silver lining.
