Pre-departure briefing

Hello world,

This is the first posting from Tash, Matthew and Davie!!

We have set up this blog to document our three week journey in Indonesia. Will we make it back in one piece? Will Tash be used as a drug mule and spend the rest of her life in an Indonesian jail? These are the questions that have been pinging around the staffroom of the British Council, and numerous living rooms in Yangon over the past few weeks.

First it was Sumbawa, then it was Sumba and now it is Flores - our destination changes every day (thanks Davie). Island hopping never looked so exciting.

So, in three days we leave Burma behind and dive into a holiday that holds all the possibility of catastrophe, crisis and pain - and those are just the positives!

So stay tuned to see if we all fall out on the plane to Bangkok (fall out with each other - not of the plane - although you never know and I will making sure Davie doesn't sit next to that tempting exit door) or if we find a peace and tranquility in our friendship which will elevate all who meet us.

Tash
