BLOG
In the beginning there was; if I really knew the answer to that question I would be very rich and not writing this blog.
CaS Personnel officially born on 31/01/2011, conceived many years ago when a youngish couple were conversating (an Americanism) over a pint or two of Guinness in one or other of London’s finer hostelries. In actual fact there may well have been more than two pints of Guinness (a pot of tea) but the author is trying not to appear as a total boozer.
When we were subconsciously making our wish list of all the things we might like to do before we trip this mortal coil came the idea of owning a business and working for ourselves in Australia. Assisting this thought along with the next round of Guinness was the desire for Sarah to return to her native land from which she had been absent for nearly a decade. In to the dreamtime popped; “wouldn’t it be great if we could go travelling and on our way and see some really cool places, like;” I shan’t bore you any further with the remaining contents of the wish list. Safe to say at this point the concept that will be shaping our future became a twinkle in its founder’s eye.
The questions begin, what shall we do? Where shall we go, how long shall we stay there, where will we go next and then what? How much money will it all cost? You may have guessed, being with a typical Aussie we were back on the topic of travel and business was on the shelf, close to the bottled Guinness. The laptop was out and Google maps and Google Earth were on the screen in a flash. We were planning a trip, an adventure; Michael Palin eat your heart out no camera crew following our every move. The trip would take us through seven countries and last the better part of six months. A blog of that epic adventure was written for quite some time until I reached the point where I decided I could be spending more time having more fun rather than writing a blog. The following is an excerpt from that very same blog:
