How awesome! Maggie-so proud of your efforts here. Well done! You and ur kids there-me and my kids here.Yes, started at the RCH y'day. My kids are all either abused kids, or ones with severe physical handicaps/recent big brain injuries (my teams are Child Protection/General Paediatrics and Paed rehab). Anyway, I love the fence-it looks great!!
Hello Hey Margs my darling,

This sounds like the best experience and I am extremely jealous.

its all a mind game hi marg, your on a journey not many will experiance to go to high altitude. dont give up push on even when you think you can go no further. you will know after 4000m what i mean. but make sure you take loads of pics for me. it was always a dream of mine to climb to the top of kilimanjiro. go hard!!! dean
miss the photos Maggie,
I miss the photos, but love the story. Your writing is good and I enjoy reading the blogs. It is weird to be on the other side of these blogs. Love it though. If you need anything, just let me know. Good luck with the Mt, and we still think you're nuts for doing this, but plan an enjoying your adventure.
big hugs to you.,
wow wow babe,
love your adventures, love africa man. I am living vicariously through your travels now, so will eagerly await each installement. Stay safe and have heaps of fun. love and hugs Sxxx
Sounds like you've had quite the journey thus far! Sparklers hey?!? Wonders will never cease ;) You've painted a really wonderful picture into the amazingly different culture and way of life in Africa. Through your words I really feel an amazing sense of both wonderment and sadness ...but feel overcome by such profound joy in what these kids will experience through your teachings. After all, they are only being taught by the best! :) I'm sure it will be one of the most moving and heartfelt experiences you'll ever have. Its definately moved me! Well I've arrived safely back to the not-so-sunny brisbane late last night and it feels wonderful to be home. However, my time away was thoroughly enjoyed. Hope you've trained for your climb up Mt Kiliminjaro, its 5896m entirity is not for the faint hearted, especially upon reaching the summit. Which route did you use? I've heard the Rongai Route is very popular. Can't wait to hear more about it. Love you and miss you loads xx
I'm working on it! The photo's were tken with my camera phone but I promise I'll put some up with me in them when I find an internet cafe that will let me upload photo's. M xx
twas a brite and moony night there were lots of fire works in dead-in-bury.new year is never about the bang always the fizzle. loves and hugs, sunshine and lollipops. your duracell scot. alx
hair colour Yes i remeber our discussion about hair colour and travel. I like the brown hair, but from my past experience of hair colour changes, i now blondes do have more fun. So jealous of your travels and that you got to catch up with the gang over there. I now you will have heaps of fun anyway and dont stress too much about money, rember our other talk?
love you lots and looking forward to all the photos (new camera) and stories over some fondue when you get back. xxxxxxxxxSusan x
Happy New Year!! Hey M, a Happy New Yrear to you too!! Thanks for the blog updates. U certainly seem to be enjoying ur overseas adventure which is great to hear after slaving away at officeworksfor what must have seemed like an eterntity! And as a Scotsman I was pleased to hear ur made the trip to Edinburgh for Hogmanay - bit as u said the street party was cancelled due to the bad weather. How annoying. Never mind...u will just have to go back again!! :) Pleased to hear u are having a great time. Keep in touch...Chris
Just catching up Maggie,
Good to see you are getting along fine. Everyone here is asking how you are doing. Got the last of the cakes delivered (believe it or not). Love the photos and loved having you here. Will talk soon.
ps: Mikey is sending you pictures.

I wish I was still there too!! Hey babe! Loving the blog entries - what a great idea. I didn't want to come home on boxing day but had to.NY's day in emergency was fun (as you can imagine) but at least I have been allocated no nights!! Missing you heaps - have tons of stories to swap with you when you get home (oh and pressies to give you too). I agree with your uncle with the "no random kiwis" rule. Oh!! Moving to Herston this week (what a headache) -wish you were here to help me organise. Keep the emails/blogs coming. Love you lots, megs
Oh Uncle David - you don't change Bless Uncle David, always looking out for you. As the other side of the 'Devils on your shoulder' twins, I say get amongst it, don't let fear of spending your money stop you experiencing everything you want to. You, and the experience, only come around once this time and my real, true belief on life is that we are here to experience it; every experience is an invaluable lesson on something, even if we don't know it yet. There are things you will do that you will regret and things that you will love, each of them is an invaluable step on your path. Revel in all of them, live them now and re-live them later; they are what make you the beuatiful, warm, giving person that you are and we all love you for it. So keep on going beautiful babe; but I agree on one thing, no more short Kiwi's!
