Well, we are on our way at last....!! managed to get just about everything sorted out before leaving, Helen & Les were great, could not have done this without them.
Had a great weekend with Dominic & Sarah, Enjoyed a couple of bottles of Bollinger with Eileen, John & Josie.....shame we missed Colin, Adult panto with Jackie & Jean....and lots of family get togethers......will miss you all and thanks.
Colin has chopped off his hair &n bsp; &n bsp; &n bsp; &n bsp; &n bsp; &n bsp; (gone for a no.4) see photo....
Now, after a very long travel day (21 hours) we arrived grump and tired....but relieved to finally be here ! ; ; 
Our house looks great, sky is blue and everything is right in the world....spent a couple of days just chilling out and soaking up the Caribbean atmosphere, Aruba is great.....touch me !! Not all going well, can't get the mobile phone to work, may have to go with plan B..if we had one.
Not happy about trying to live on a budget, but part of the sacrifice, but good for the diet as walking everyday along the beach, and eating lots of fresh fruit.Still managing to include grapes as one of the five a day (wine I mean). Been to the Sunday market, done some deals and squeezed the traders until the pips squeeked on prices. Tried to utilise my amazon style hat for Aruba, but when people were laughing on the beach, decided to spend $4 on a new hat.
Thinking of you all working away in the great British weather makes us smile.

Following your progress with interest and not a little envy!
Pity we weren't able to see you for a drink or meal before you left but I'm sure you'll have loads of tales to tell when you get back.
Have a Pina Colada for us.
Steve, Debbie, Henry & Elliott

Hi Kim and Colin
great to see the photos of you, and read comments too. hope you are not suffering too much with all that sun, sea and sand! and that you are pacing yourself with the reading. Kim, I think I'll have to start keeping a journal of all the things I want to tell you to share when you get back!

Hi, it's Tracey. Had to go to fall back ID as anything that you'd recognise was taken already!
Eagerly awaiting all your traveller's tales and sorry to disappoint you mateys - weather's lovely here!!
It's been very springlike this weekend.
I have a meeting with Betty-Ann to see what I'll be doing in your place so will imagine I am chilling on a beach with you to calm my nerves...
