All work and no play?

KID'S POST: british things

A british ambulance - YELLOW!

And a strange little toilet!

Staring at the lovely british countryside and looking at planes!

update from enroute:

We successfully got our 400lbs of medical supplies on this airplane. British Airways kindly waived the overweight charges for us - although only 1 bag was over. So, we were over because 50 more receiving blankets got to go for the babies. YAY.

Saw a beautiful sunset on the flight. We flew over Hudsons' Bay, and Baffin Island and Greenland and Ireland, then Heathrow. The british countryside looked so lovely and a green and pretty and emerald-like. The flight was long, but British Airways took good care of us. And we all remembered our Malarone!

So, we are sititng at Heathrow drinking (expensive) British starbucks.

We miss you all already, but we are really on the adventure now....

Sarah, Tina, Carole, and Jody

All packed and ready to go...

We are all busily packing and sorting and squishing and editing and re-packing. I can honestly say that if it is not in my big pack by now, it isn't coming! I will be driving down to Vancouver tomorrow and then we all meet up at the airport on Saturday. We will try to post whenever we can.

Looking forward to it.
