Oh my very dear friend Lavina, you have made my night seeing you  here...oh how i have missed you my friend it is about time that gone fishing sign disappears. I wouldn't put you in  a suitcase but you would stand right there beside me.

 That would be wonderful to have the opportunity to meet up with you, sweet when you want a holiday you know where we are and that biggest loving hug would be return with such warmth.....anytime.

Love you muchly  JJ

 It's a figment of your imagination Nicki, i'm not counting haaahaaa !!!!! If we get chocolate strawberries, i will be sure to have one just for you.

Love Janice xxxx

 Dear Bel sounds like your Kenny and Steve would get on like a house on fire, he also is a train addict from way back as a boy growing up in England......he use to train watch at every opportunity he could get and ride them when he could....here a few years ago i bought him the flying Scotsman train but as yet he has not set it up. As we will be taking two train trips while in Canada, Steve will be in his element.

Excitement isn't the word now Bel and i can't think of one to describe how i feel at present.

Love Mum xxxx

PS you take care while  i'm away.

 Dear Emz, i'd make room for you in my suitcases but because your in a fragile state now, we might have to wait til next time....maybe it might be in the UK and we won't need suitcases, hey.

For sure emz in less than 20 days i will be hugging Marg,, for myself and for so many others....can you imagine Marg, Jess and myself all in a big bear hug, oh yeah !!!!!!!!

Thanks so much for your lovely thoughts it is  certainly a dream holiday coming true.

 Going to miss you like crazy also Helen, i can see me crying when it comes time to shut down the computer on wednesday, silly isn't but i feel that all my friends here are my family  .

Helen got Steve to even go into the camera shop the other day, so they could show him how to do a video clip on his camera....so hope he doesn't forget by the time we get to Marg's.

Love Janice

  Don't be jealous Rue as you all will be with me and along for the ride.....sounds to me that you have done some travelling in your life time, there will come a day that you can do some more, i'm sure.

I've been where most of the Mums  here on minti are, bringing up a family....so now my children are grown it is time for  us.

Love Janice

PS Looked at that puzzle you put up last night, but it was to late for this brain of mine to work, haahaa !!!

 Dear Leisa,  glad your Mum & Dad enjoyed their trips to Canada and the train trips....there a quiet a few people here in Woopi that have made the trip and all that we have spoken to, have nothing but great memories from it.

Love your style Leisa, with the countdown, sounds less in hours gee the feeling in the pit of my stomach is creeping higher and higher....we fly at 5pm, so now it is only 101 hours...haahaa!!!!!

Love Janice

 My feelings exactly Marg,   HURRY, HURRY but only til we board the plane, then time like when we were younger can go oh so slowly....oh i so wish! Will be taking in every single second that my eyes, mind and  heart can absorb and yes with my soul mate beside me.

 Thanks Rach for your kind words.

Hugs Janice xxxx
