1. The idea of a Royally Dickey European Adventure is born...

When Paul (aka Dickey) first broached the idea of embarking on a trip to Europe I was pumped! What an opportunity. Two-three weeks travelling to Italy to see the Giro d'Italia cycling race, soaking up the Tuscan sun, glorious food and spectacular wine and then heading back to reality in our home town of Melbourne.

A few conversations later it became apparent that this trip was something he had dreamed of doing for around eight years and he had no intention of making it a quick one. In fact, he wasn't going to settle for anything less than eight weeks I was informed!

Prior to meeting me he had only day dreamed about how he could achieve this trip and which of his mates could get leave passes to accompany him. Now with me he finally saw this dream as a possibility and was keen to make it a reality. Apparently I was proving to be a reliable type of girlfriend, not afraid of a challenge or some heavy lifting!

In this blog our aim is to show others with mobility issues just how we made our trip of a life time a reality. To hopefully help you on your way and to share with you our journey.

Hey babe, want to come to Europe?!
