| 27th January 2009 Ivan | At last ! You're off ! - From: D-Day And I'm insanely jealous. You'll be delighted to know that it's freezing in Bradford this morning (and smells vaguely of either Paint or Mr Sheen - of which, Bradford could do with a good dose of each !). Mind you, t'net says it's only 6c in Madrid, so you won't have any time for sunbathing while you wait for your next flight. Lima on the other hand is 21c (more like it) so at least you're heading to the sunny half of the globe. Enjoy your trip, I'm sure you are going to have a fantastic time. Ivan & Lynne x |
| 26th January 2009 Tony And Sarah | Saving money - From: D-Day Guys, To save money you should have given us a call and you could have stayed here and you would have had your own private taxi to the airport in the morning. We wish you all the best and look forward to keeping in contact the the medium of email. Take care Tony, Sarah and Matthew xx |
