On the countdown

hi

Not long to go now! 1 month and 14 days (42 days) till i fly out!
I'm looking forward to the trip, but im a little anxious, its the first time i have done this sort of thing on my own so its a bit worrying - in case i get lost, or i miss my flight! You know the usual things to get worried about!

Ive spoken to melinda's adopted mum twice on the phone now, they are picking me up from the airport so i can see little melly moo! (thats now her nickname!) Shes getting really big now! shes 17 months old! I cant believe it!

There is so much to organise! I have to make sure i have the medication from the doctor that ive been told to take with me, they said i should bring antibiotics with me just in case - so a trip to the doctors is in order.

Im so busy at the moment that i dont seem to have time to think! Ive wrote a few bits and pieces down that i need. i just ahve to hope and pray that i will be okay with finances and stuff whilst im out there. I should be ok, just gotta make sure i dont over spend!

I got a camcorder for my birthday so i will have video footage of the babies. For christmas i have been given a day out at a safari - pilanesberg. So lots of photos and videos will be taken of that too!

Im excited bout this trip, i cant wait to see the babies! there are hardly any of the original crew there from when i was back there in 2005. Gatsha and Fana went back to their mum the other week! she was so pleased to have them home.

I think the only ones still there are: Lillian, Lerato, Thulani, Faith and Jolene! Thats 5 left out of 35! Pretty good going if you ask me!!!

Right i best be off, im currently on a night shift, thats why the unusal time!
