5days

So the packing began at 10am, today's task was to pack the clothes we wanted to take...

Where to start!!! We ended up packing and unpacking our three large planned cases five times, ending up with a pile the size of primark of clothes that originally made the cut and in the end ended up being ditched. After numerous tantrums by Rosina, a very aching back and knees after bending over for 10 hours, four cases were finally packed. Not overflowing of course for ease of wheeling (and also new York shopping :p).

Our last day in Milton Keynes, saying 'see you soon' to Domino was much harder than we had thought. Myra and Rog' are all trained up on Skype…so these last few days in the UK, texting is banned so we can get used to Skype!

We also had a little farewell gathering in London last night, an eclectic mix of our favourite friends, some  of them who are visitors to this country won't be here when we get back so were already planning a trip to Australia! Monty the Koala was introduced to the family too!

9 days...

Remembering 9/11

10 years ago, getting off my school bus, the bus driver says to the 6th former in front of me 'Have you heard the terrible news'. I had no idea. Until I'd walked home, gone into the house and saw the hell unfold in front of me.

Reading stories and seeing documentaries always haunt me, I get choked up hearing peoples accounts, their bravery, the incredible unity, amazes me.

Today, marks two weeks to go for us and a massive change, and marking 10 years since a changed America.

One of my first sight seeing trips will be the memorial at Ground Zero, along with the 2,753 empty chairs in Bryant Park.

Paperwork arrival

Our Orientation week information has arrived and our first appointment with directors, October 3rd marks the start of our course and our 'freshers' week as an ISVP student. A few assessment classes, some meet-greets and a self defence class…!

Exciting times,
Class at 8am again will take some getting used to but sunrise over NY…that will be easy to get used to!
