Hi Dawn,
You must be sooooooo excited!
Your mind must be swimming with the things you must do. Can understand quietly leaving ... we said our goodbyes to family with the best of British reserve - a wave and "see yer", as if we were just going on holiday.
You haven't told us of your plans (or I've missed them somewhere) - are you going straight down to Welly or touring the country? Shocked at the price of flights for your dogs - would hope they get plenty of comforting words and the best a la carte doggy menu for that!
:smile:
