Telford, UK
Home Sweet Home!
I landed in Heathrow at 5am this morning, after which the whole plane clapped in joy. The joy soon left me as I learnt nobody could make it to the airport to collect me, and tears showed up. I sucked it up as I made my way through immigration, and waited for nearly fifteen minutes at the luggage carousel as everyone else's…
The Old Man Well better late than never darling; we are very glad to have you back home, even if only for a few weeks as Canada is calling.xx
re: Telford, UKMum and Dad Hi, we can just imagine being there with you and going through all the pitfalls that you are experiencing. With regards to the weather here, it looks as though we can guarantee it but hope that you will be able to land at Heathrow. See you somewhere. Take care
re: Ho Chi Minh City, VietnamMum and Dad Hi, on the final leg of the journey and what a journey this has been. We all wait for your return along with the white stuff. Roll on Tuesday.
re: Ho Chi Minh City, VietnamDad Well so glad you are ok - enough said bet you a lot of people will give you advice but they aren't the other side of the world with you are they? They just feel for you as we do. Anyway forward and onwards as they say in the army.I once lost a flip flop after a little too much of the amber liquid, let's keep it in the family.All things considered you are doing great girl so stay focused and get back safe. Don't slack off on last days. xxxxxxx
re: Phnom Penh, CambodiaAli Glad you're letting your hairdown! Drinking is fun as long as you follow up with lots of water and painkillers!!
re: Sihanoukville, CambodiaCatherine & Gill Hello! things really do just happen to you don't they? Is this what travelling is like for everyone or is it just you that has to give adhoc English lessons to all and sundry and gets kidnapped by rogue Tuk Tuk drivers? Not sure I will be travelling anywhere in a boat with you again...seems too risky! And yes, we did read about the white water rafting experience. I'm not trusting you with so much as an oar next time! Come back soon, winter training pain is less fun without you ;0)

re: Bangkok, ThailandMum and Dad We are trying our best to picture all the scenes that you have seen and cannot wait for the photos. We were just thinking of taking you for a chinese on your first day back (only joking).
re: Hong Kong, Hong KongMum and Dad Yes happy birthday to you, we did think of you and even though all your brothers did not send you a message we are sure they were thinking they would like to be doing what you are doing.
re: Kinabatangan Jungle Camp, MalaysiaMum and Dad Looking at the picture above we can just imagine you doing this and wondering what it was all about. Yet another achievement.
re: Sepilok, MalaysiaMum and Dad Another feather in your cap having achieved another adventure which we never did. Keep this up and the rest of the family will want to follow.
re: Kota Kinabalu, MalaysiaMum and Dad We can just imagine being there with you as you reached the summit and then back down again. After all your training beforehand this must have helped. Your pride at having achieved this goal holds no bounds and anything can be achieved. Keep going know that you can relay all that you have done back to all those at home.
