I messaged Sian a couple of weeks ago as hadn't seen her around in a while - also to tell her I'm moving back to Scotland, so we'll practically be neighbours soon! Anyway, she did write back,, and she did say she doesn't have much internet access at the moment, but all is fine -------------------- Scotland & Ireland Dots round Europe & A Brazilian New Year The Big Trip! & Israel

Thanks also for passing on your address ...... I have e-mailed it to bloomer so hopefully when he checks in next time he will be able to pass it on to his friend. Oh and what a strange thing to learn your last name now...... never thought about what it might be and sort of expected something like "77" ........ hahahah!

I can't believe I skipped over this one all the time, as it's such a good idea, and I will sooooo do it justice for you all! I can't wait to get the pod now excited scream Cool let me know when Bloomer picks it up and passes it on (hopefully soon, as I'm moving back to Scotland in March! Yes Brian - new job!) And Brian, my surname IS '77' - the name you got was the Irish translation - that's what the postman here will understand -------------------- Scotland & Ireland Dots round Europe & A Brazilian New Year The Big Trip! & Israel

I feel guilty myself, and I could never imagined that although sent a week before Bloomer reached London, the book would arrive with a delay even if I had it posted EXPRESS! I think there was a mix up somewhere. I arrived London December 23, and on January 10, I flew to India. . .Darn, woulda loved to read it and show it Rajastan. Got the info for the next in line, and I'll let you know when it is on it's way. I'll have another adventure in the summer, maybe it can reach me by then! -------------------- My travels.

Rolling Stone Group: Local Expert Posts: 4290 Joined: 25-March 09 Member No.: 273790	I went back to check and be sure of the exact date I mailed the envelope. It was on the 5th January and it was sent by Express mail. I just wonder why the book did not reach it's destination promptly. The only reason I can think of, is probably the snow in London. I was told from the post office that one thing was for sure and they could guarantee me - the envelope would surely be at the airport in Athens the same evening. So, .....where is the envelope now? Who is having it next? -------------------- My LATEST BLOGS: Marmari, Vasa, and CYPRUS, the Unique Destination for Business and Holidays!!!

Vagabond Group: Local Expert Posts: 1527 Joined: 12-December 06 From: Scotland Member No.: 30044	Things were at a bit of a standstill with the snow in the UK - plus there were postal strikes too. It all seems to be fine now though. Bloomer, thanks for organising to send it on to me, and I'm sure you'll get it again soon, have fun in India -------------------- Scotland & Ireland Dots round Europe & A Brazilian New Year The Big Trip! & Israel

You are travelling so much that I am sure it will be in excellent hands! Popi Yes, Kathyrn will be an excellent host I am sure! But just to clarify...... one does not have to be going on a trip to be able to contribute to the Pod. To try and get as many folk involved as possible, it was always the belief that just including a blog entry and photos from even your home area would be enough. There are lots of us who likely have never visited where other Podders all live so such entries will always be interesting to someone!

I wish I didn't have so much to do, so I could read it all right now! How exciting - just had to let you all know! Bloomer thanks for organising with your friend, and please let her know it's arrived safe and well -------------------- Scotland & Ireland Dots round Europe & A Brazilian New Year The Big Trip! & Israel

Rolling Stone Group: Local Expert Posts: 4290 Joined: 25-March 09 Member No.: 273790	Kathryn believe it or not, the "Pod" was the first thought I had this morning when getting up from bed. I was so anxious about its luck thinking that it got stuck for such a long time, that I thought later on in the afternoon to get in touch with sb and ask about its luck. I am so pleased that it reached you,.....do take a photo of it and post it for us if you have time, just to give life to it before writing anything! I felt So guilty that it did not reach on time when it left my hands even though it left by Express mail, and it had a whole week from Athens to the United Kingdom. It was unbelievable! Anyway, I trust you so much that it is sure that you will give it life again, you will soon lead it on the right flight for the next member to get it. Thanks Kathryn for letting us know!
