Time is speeding by andI am leaving Calgary on 21st january (Rosie's birthday! she is such a sport). I am not travelling with the group because I can get a direct flight from Calgary to heathrow and so just 2 flights to tanzania and also allows me to stop in on my parents in England on the way back without extra cost. The rest of the group including Michelle , Chris and others leave Montreal on the 22nd I believe. I will miss some of the camaraderie that travelling together brings.

Kristina and the next kilema mission leave Montreal 2 weeks later.I will be at kilema for the first week of that caravan.

My plans for future caravans at the moment are to go again in October. However there may be more need for a surgeon on the fall trip to Uganda. I will have to see how the wind blows when I am back. As I found out when you think of plans to suit yourself they can fall through. But somehow everything does work out for the best.

Happy New Year
