My 14 year old grandaughter and I are so excited to be volunteering with Sleeping Children Around the World in Kenya. From there we will travel to Australia to meet her family, Meredith, Jeff and Brady. Then I am off to New Zealand to visit friends and home in April.

Irene Reid Hello Carol - caught up on your stories and pics in beautiful New Zealand. I remember Time Hope. Looks like a beautiful and relaxing country. Weather appears glorious and you sound the happy traveler. No doubt you're looking forward to coming home to see your family and friends. What an adventure and a once in a lifetime opportunity! Do hope you have a safe and good flight home and, no doubt, with wonderful memories of that part of the world and people in it. Do call me when rested and caught up as I look forward to hearing from you. Ed and I leave for Graz Austria May 6 so I know we'll connect soon Irene xx

Irene Reid Hi Carol and all: I have been so busy these past weeks but I finally got to sit down and back and enjoy hours and hours of reading your aptly titled blog "Stella's Great Adventure!" Loved every minute of the stories, pictures, history and culture in your notes. So much so I almost felt as if I was there with you and Lauren in Kenya. Lauren looked as if she was working very hard in every pic. I know you took the pics Lauren so, thanks loved the views of Africa particularly. From the sounds of it, the trip has been humbling, heartwarming and such an eye-opener. Looking forward to more news from Australia and eventually New Zealand. Be safe in your journeys to wherever you all move to in the week or so ahead. Lauren, I'm sure you'll have lots to talk about when you get back to Yellowknife. Love Irene
