At the first day of July, the new adventure begins.

Guess what! we got married yesterday. And so Mrs Frankies Travels can, by definition, really begin.  We are sitting at the airport hotel waiting for the airport shuttle to arrive. The shuttle will take us to international departures where we will check in to the SAA flight to Buenos Aires. How flippen cool is that?  I am pretty excited for the idea of exploring a new continent but more than that, I am very excited for my new husband, MrT, to be flying overseas for the first time. His first time in navigating passport control. First time in the perfume and cigarette and alcohol bazaar that is International Duty Free. (actually SA has a pretty interesting international duty free compared to other places in my experience). His first time in navigating an airport in a foreign language country. First time in climbing off a plane and realising that you are very very far away from home. and in a completely new place.  I'll be with him trying not to get lost and figuring out the new places too. But the wonder of the first new adventure is a unique thrill.  In three hours it will be time to zoom zoom zoom once more!

Countdown - less than 2 weeks to lift off

Mostly this post is to test that my mobile blogging for MrsFrankiesTravels is working but in the moments that I forget how stressed and worried and scared and intimidated and awed that I am that I am getting married in less than two weeks, I feel a thrill of excitement that I'll be exploring Argentina really really soon.

One big new adventure ahead - with snow and glaciers and jungles and tango dancing! My passport is ready and so I say bring on the fun times!
