Departures

2 February 2007

It is with great excitement and anticipation we leave for India tomorrow. Most of us have an idea what we are taking though getting it into the suitcase is proving to be a struggle! I don’t think any of us can actually believe that we are off to India to visit Udayan – the place that much effort has gone into raising funds for. It will be great to see the work of the home and how our money has helped the children.

We aim to send you a diary entry most evenings, obviously depending on the technology and whether we are in transit! Please keep checking for updates. It is anticipated that our first diary entry will be available on Sunday afternoon.

All that remains is to say see you in India!

We look forward to hearing from you through the comments feature.

Hi everyone,
Hope you all had a good flight and enjoyed yourselves in Delhi today. Hope you haven’t spent all your money and have learnt to barter and haggle. Missing you loads Siobhan and sorry about the pencil case. Surely you must have spoken to at least half the people on the flight and at least one of them must have had a pen!!! Granny, Grandad, Jo, Vince and Eddy wish you luck and sorry they didn’t get to call before you went. Can’t wait for your updates. Don’t forget the tablets!!!!!! Dad says he misses you sort of, it’s kinda quiet, no it’s very quiet but he’ll get use to it. lol Amazing things happened yesterday QPR won. Yes I said won and Ciaran said to tell Neil that Leeds lost. England beat Scotland at the Rugby, Ireland is about to play Wales. Hope the food is good have a good day tomorrow, lots of love the O’Bs

The photos are brilliant and the daily diary is going to be the highlight of our day, we are going to have a special time slot each evening in front of the computer. Shane we are missing you like mad and you forgot to pack your new tracksuit bottoms!! Shannon is delighted she doesn’t have to fight with anyone for the telly but she is also missing you loads. Take lots of photos and savour each days experiences!
Until tomorrow, luv Carol xx
