1 Week 2 Go!

Well, it's Sunday the 28th today, so 1 week till I leave. A lot of people have been asking me what i've got plannd for this last week, so i thought I'd giveyou a little update...for those already checking! :)

This week is pretty relaxed, I had my last (of 10!) immunisations last week, and bought any last things I needed so not much left to do really. Tomorrow, hopefully, I'll be heading up north to a lovely beach for the day just to relax with some friends. That's mostly what the week consists of, really, catching up with friends and family before I head off.

I should get packing on Thursday so i have a few days to realise all those things I've forgotten!
I fly out at 3 something on Sunday so I'll be heading to church in the morning and then straight to the Airport so i can book in around 1pm!

My schedule from there is 1 day in Bankok...just like the song...maybe not. Anyway and then I'll head to SA. I'll stay in Pretoria and surrounds for a few days catching up with family (some of whom I haven't seen in nearly 12 years!) and friends, before the Cronje's take me back to Motopi!

Oh yes, that is another blessing sent my way. It was looking at one stage like I would have to catch the bus, which involves staying one night in Gabarone (the capital of Botswana), but then I had an email from Corlize who said Th Cronje's were arriving in Pretoria for something on the 8th Feb (2 days after me!) and that they could take me along! So praise the Lord! I have confirmed safe and easy travel to Motopi!

Well, that's it from me for now...I'll update again before I leave!

Oh...a quick run down on the people i'll be mentioning:
Mr & Mrs Cronje head the work in Motopi and have been there since 1999.
Corlize Viljoen - Joined them in 1995 and has been my main contact in planning. She's not currently in Motopi though, and probably won't be back till April.
There is another Lady there at the moment from Austria (I think), but I don't know her name sorry! We'll over lap by about a month.

God's blessings!
