Touchdown - Safe and Sound



Touchdown in Blighty.

All returned safe and sound, baggage intact, including amazingly Ms Stephens broken "designer" bag, which utilised the last 8m of my 50m roll of Gaffa tape !


Thanks to everyone involved, Explore, Essential Travel, Emirates, Pok, Guides, drivers, porters, public transport, the staff and of course the girls. The trip went perfectly well with no major incidents, which is a testament to good planning and organisation !

Arrived back to THS at around 4pm, we got home around 5, washing started at 5:05.
Assume for all parents that this was similar.


Our last travelling day was my birthday, thanks to the girls I got a card and gift and many good wishes, including the Captain on the flight wishing me a happy birthday on the intercom. Just the thing to lift me after 19days travelling and 15hrs in a cramped chair. Thankyou all.

We pushed on through till 8pm and crashed to our lovely soft bed, pillows and our unloved cat.

Unlike the girls and staff who have 2 months break, I am straight back to work today.

I will update and backdate the blog over the coming days

If any of the girls/parents/staff who have much more time than I want to post, then please do.

I maintained during the trip, it was the last one (we have year off next year for sure) however, the girls are very persuasive and we shall have to see what we can do for 2009. Watch this space.

All the best and have a great summer.

    So glad you're all back safely. Looks like you had a great trip. How about next year to the USA? Ask the girls.

    What a brilliant 'holiday' you've had! - I've really enjoyed reading the blog whilst you were away.

    Many many thanks to the staff, and especially to Rebecca and Peter for organising it. Back to work for a rest I think Peter!
