Holiday! Oooh! Holiday!

In three weeks today, Riccardo and I will be off on our HONEYMOON!

Who's excited? - MEEEE!

Our three weeks in Africa will really be a dream trip! The only problem is, what started out as an expensive dream trip, has turned into a ridiculously expensive dream trip.

It all started with those stupid Americans.

When we booked the trip, over a year ago, the prospect of paying in American dollars was a good one: the pound was roughly 2:1 to the dollar. Now, however, for reasons completely unknown and, one might say, unsubstantiated, the pound is more like 1.5:1. This means our honeymoon has now costed approximately $3000 more than budgeted!

Needless to say, since we had to pay for the balance of the honeymoon yesterday, December is going to be a tight month.
