27th December 2010 (please see drop down box above for earlier entries)

I know I said I wasn't going to write again until I left but I just wanted to say...

ONE WEEK TODAY!!

I can't believe how quick time has gone. This time next week I will be in a Travelodge near Gatwick airport with Marion, eating a sandwich she lovingly made (hopefully - I get very hungry).

My mum got a webcam for Christmas from Benji, so we spent some of the afternoon setting her up on Skype so we can talk while i'm away which will be nice. I can show her my amazing New Zealand tan(!)

We are hopefully going out for a family lunch this Sunday (I leave on the Monday) so it will be lovely to see people and say goodbye before I go.

Next time you hear from me I will no longer be on my home island.

Wish me luck!
