Hi Rosemary great to hear from you. What a great experience to work in the orphanage im very jealous and sure Marion will be too. How did you manage to organise it with the orphanage,

we could not decide which Just you to go on this year but eventually decided on Malaysia, hope its as good as Kenya but I dont think anywhere could match that holiday. Ive got a video of you singing your "blue suede shoes" as a reminder.

must keep in touch, hope to see you again one day.

Hello there How lovely to hear back, yes I contacted Travellers Beach (to see if I could have my old room)and have also been in touch with the orphanage and as soon as I have my dates they are going to do the necessary checks on me and also contact the airport to agree extra baggage. I sent all the photos I took of the kids out to them and sent some money Xmas for them. If I had'nt been so rushed that day I would'nt have to go back but felt unfinished business !!!! I was going thru a Voluntary Organisation but was really expensive, so contacted Somak and its £1500 for 3 weeks opposed to £1200 with voluntary org, and then u have to get your own flight and share a house and a room with others,so would rather do it this way. I will keep in touch and let u know what happens,I am going docs next week just to get all clear healthwise, must make sure of that now i'm the big "70" Take care x x x

p.s. I will probably work 3/4 days a week then have a bit of leisure on a trip or 2 or maybe another short safari, must use it as a part holiday as well. x x

Hi Rosemary,

Told Marion all about your plans and she want to know if you would like any company out there. She has kept in touch with staff at travellers and even the stall holders down on the beach. Kenya was a fantastic place and Marion was so upset when we had to leave. Im sending all your news to Marion and Celia. (Cant believe you are 70) all those Just You holidays must be doing you good.

Best wishes Carol

Tell Marion I would be quite happy to meet her out there if she needs to get in touch I will get JY to give her my email !!

I have booked for 6th Sept 2012 to 26th for 20 days. I have had my check up at the docs and he is quite happy about my health. I have emailed the Orphanage to let them know also the Trustees in England so that they can make their checks on me , I like to get things done and sorted out and then your not rushing about at the last minute, My Boss has also allowed me to do whatever fund raising I want to do in work with his full support. This is all your fault JY haha,

Look forward to your reply
