We are Packed and (very nearly) ready to go, have dug out our passports (which took me about two hours of turning the house and office upside down) and just eaten a very huge steak at my mum's house. Not much left to do tommorow before we fly but say some final good byes and get a lift to the airport.
Hopefully we will arrive at La Gomera and find that the boat has made it there in one piece!
