Hi Moyra

I am taking two bags as advised by JY.

My safari bag I am putting side my beach suitcase, so that I only have one bag to check in.

When we get to mombassa I will split them up, as informed by JY and just have my safari bag, and meet up with my suitcase at the hotel. I think that's what the notes said.

YEEEAAAHHHH only 1 week to go,

How about I give my mobile number to Olly the editor to pass on to you all as I am going to be the first at Heathrow then when you arrive I can tell you where we will be. how does that sound?

Doing the same with my bags, soft one inside main case, still not sure Ive packed the right stuff tho.

so much still to do, but sure the time will fly now.

looking forward to meeting my new friends.

What notes from JY have you read about the bags? I've seen nothing about it apart from what's been here, that's why I've opted for the one softsided bag.

Hi Moyra

The note came with the booking confirmation, in the hints and tips , on the attachment to the confirmation.

I can always bring it in to work tomorrow and scan it and send it over. I have your e-mail address now.

The note said that if you were going on the beach extension it might be a good idea to pack two bags.

One soft one for the safari and one suitcase for the beach holiday.

The beach bag will be taken from you at Mombassa and held in storage for the time we are on safari and you will meet up with it at the hotel, or on the way to the hotel.

The trouble with that was my flight from Manchester to London, was only allowing me one check in bag for the hold and not two.

So, I am putting the safari bag ready packed,into the suitcase and then ,when we arrive im Mombassa, I will take it out of the suitcase, then re lock the suitcase, for its journey into storage.

Dawn is doing the same.

Hi Dawn

I have given Olly my e-mail address, if you want to ask him for it.

I'm the same as you still lots to do, re thought my clothes for the holiday too many times to mention.

Keep weighing it as well, no shoes out yet and reaching the limit. !!!!

Might have to wear a pair of yours, from the trailer that you are attaching to the back of the plane :-)

Hi Ladies

Don't know if anyone will read this before you go as its nearly time but just to wish you a safe journey. I hope you have a fabulous time, I'm so looking forward to going in October.

Looking forward to reading your reports on your return and maybe seeing some photos - but nah don't leave out the embarrassing bits - there the best!!!

Regards Janet (28th October trip)

Hi Girls

Getting more and more nervous and nearly excited !!

Moyra and I been on e-mail this morning discussing the trips out.

I have now decided to take a baby's potty, 2 use for a tinkle, and when not in use for that it can double up as a sun hat !!

Yes Dawn I think my packing is sorted, still the shoes to put in though, not packed any.

Got your number in my phone and Moyra's also. Will text when I have cleared by bags from arrivals and on my way to bus for terminal transfer.

hi Jan

Many thanks for your good wishes for the holiday, shame you not coming with us.

I am sure we will give you a report when we get back.

Olly has my e-mail address, if you would like to send me a mail, its a bit quicker than the message board. Plus I can send you some pics, and not have all the world looking at them !!! especially if they do not show us four in a good light :-)

.

See you Wednesday girls OH MY GOD ITS HERE !!!!

Hi Jean

I have hung up a pair of cropped pants and top, that are comfy. Wear my clarks shoes, that my friends say make me look in need of care!!!!

Don't care they are comfy.

I would wear what you will feel comfy in (there's that word again) that is the order of the day.

I will look a right tuttle, in my cut off's special shoes and black flight socks !!!
