Just let me know which cooking ingredients you want me to get in for Jan. Grandad says you do not need to worry about including him in the guest list at your first Thai diiner party after you return. Ali & Dan cooked for me & them when he came to stay this week. Your sister's lasagne is the envy of the rest of Neen Sollars. Looking forward to reading about your day with the elephants. In the meantime pleeeze don't try the paragliding. Sounds horrendous. Have given your elephant a cuddle in your absence (sorry is that supposed to be a secret). Only just getting used to the idea of the scooters. Are you provided with helmets? Probably a daft question. Today spoke to Shirl, Jacki, Joe & Ben on Skype. They are all at Sylvan Lake at the moment. Luv both lots. xxxx

Your first day sounds amazing. Can't wait to hear more.

So you thought I would not find this blog well aha your sister gave it to me so the secret is out! Looked at the website for your 1st hostel. Hope it is as good as the reviews say it is. Will read your posts with interest so expect it to include plenty of detail. Sooty is missing you. He says meow.

Hope you have a wonderful trip. I can't wait for the end of it. Your poor family though, they will miss you so much. Take care of yourselves.

Love,

Jacki

Why not add New York to the itinerary- I hear it's beautiful in the winter.
