Preparations

---

March 14th, my leaving date and the beginning of something very special, looms just 2 weeks away. I'm jabbed up to the hilt, have my visa and plane ticket sorted, am in touch with other VSOs that I'm going out with (and so will spend the first 4 weeks in Dehli with)... all that remains is to complete my tour of my gorgeous friends around the UK and then head back to my parents in Berks for the final ten days of packing and hard core stressing.

On that subject, I want to thank you all for being such gracious hosts, generous friends and gorgeous people. Especially the lovely people at Horley Road who have gone way beyond the call of duty and let me invade their space so often over the last few months.

I will be sure to write on this site as often as is practicable, although of course not to the detriment of my ability to enjoy myself. I hope you enjoy reading this blog as much as I'll no doubt enjoy writing it, but please dont let it replace any personal communications we have. I'll be looking forward to hearing back from you.

I love you all. xxx

Bon Voyage
I had hoped to impress you with the Bengali for Bon Voyage but it seems Google Translate has yet to encapsulate this second most spoken language in India! Stuart....good luck! You never fail to amaze me with the challenges you set yourself and the level of time and energy you give in and outside of your world. You'll have an incredible time I'm sure and I will miss you while you're away and hope to see you before your return! Safe journey and if you can't be good...be careful. Much love, Robert x
