Thank you for your p/c. We've always fancied Kerala, would you recommend it?
We just wanted to say Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. We look forward to seeing you when you get home.

Hey Louisa, I hope you're well!! Was thinking about you just yesterday and have only read your latest entry today. Some of the ushers were talking about how much we miss ya!! I'm glad that you're enjoying your travels and I'm really looking forward to reading about the 'escapades of the bag lady' (lol) in Thailand (^-^) Usher-hood at the YV is alright. Currently working a lot in a children's show called 'The forest'. 'Annie get your gun' in the main house is also proving to be a very successful run. It's definetely bringing in an interesting audience... Also trying to see if I can get a bit of experience assistant duty managing (wish me luck).
I hope you have an amazing Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!! Hope to see some time in the near future. Take care (^-^)/ xx

Hi Louisa
So great to read your updates - I'm very envious and really glad that you're enjoying it - sounds like you are well into your stride. It has been so busy here - think they're really getting thier money's worth out of us at the moment. We are beginning to adjust to Dave not being here but know that it'll never be the same. Put some more pictures up!
Take care

Wow; you're so lucky! It's brought back some fond memories of trekking in the Khumbu region I did about four years ago. I also satyed at the Shangri-La (a fantastic feeling after the colder comforts of the Tea Lodges), and I just ADORED Kathmandu. I'd go back in a heartbeat, and the Annapurna circuit sounds ideal... Wow.
Dave is sorely missed and he would have loved to hear about your travels. He'd want to wish you well with the rest of your adventures, too - and so do we all. So happy trekking, and I'll look forward to the next update!

Silke
Hi Louise,
great to read your report! It brought back all the memories! Finally have managed to put video clips on DVD and will send a copy to Jen soon. I hope you are o.k. and enjoyed a good break from all the walking etc in Goa. It was great to meet you on the trek. I hope the coming weeks will bring you many more adventures (good ones!) and memories. Take care for now, Silke.

Feeling really envious reading of all your travels,(Pat) sounds terrific and makes our 3 weeks in France seem pretty tame! Glad you are enjoying it all; we knew you would. I expect you are looking forward to Jen arriving, take care love pat and Barrie
debbie
hi louisa, have been looking forward to reading your blogs. sounds like you had a narrow escape, you always did go with your gut instinct, weather here in london is nice at the moment we havn`t had any rain for at least a week or so, not much change in london still the same old rubbish, we are a week away from annie get your gun and i can`t wait to get back to Y V. take care and stay safe. x
Sally
Hi Louisa....sounds like you did exactly the right thing - with nothing else to go on your instincts are really important!! Don't feel guilty - there'll probably be plenty more opportunities. Love reading the updates and looking at the photos. Keep going! Sally x
