My son is out with his mates having a meal which was a surprise for him. They have all rallied realising he was going. Its just showed me how popular he is adding to the guilt of taking them away from those they love and need
They are 19 & 21 whch i think will make it harder for them to settle.
Right know i cant remember why we wanted to go!
Anyone else there have children my age
Anyone else feel like me?

O well i best get back to cleaning this bloody house and still sorting and packing.
Im tired, stressed and totally fed up

It only seems like the other day when we were all keeping each others sanity though the TRA and VISA waiting times

Been reading alot of your goodbye posts and gets me thinking of how hard its going to be to say bye to ppl you love so much.

I am a big softy at heart and i think Kat will have to keep my chin up and keep kicking my ass to hold beack the tears.

The best of luck to all of you and i really hope its everything you want it to be, just over 4 months and it will be our turn to say goodbye ( not looking forward to it tbh )

CHASE YOUR DREAMS, CATCH THEM, HOLD THEM TIGHT, AND NEVER EVER LET THEM GO !!!!

They got to bangkok on time but their flight was delayed and then cancelled until tomorrow due to problem with the plane. Poor things are stranded in bangkok till tomorrow now its been so stressful awful. They would have been in their crate for 50hrs so they have let them out they say overnight in an animal compound crap I dont even know if they are ok. How we are going to fly tomorrow not knowing if they have set off is a killer.

Im so sad.

love Trudi

Anyone in the same boat?

Karen xx

We sent an enquiry email and are still waiting to hear!
Very annoying, especially as we can't get in touch with her personally as we don't have any contact details.
I guess we've waited this long
