Getting there
on Charley and Jane in Vietnam (Vietnam), 22/Aug/2009 10:21, 34 days ago
There are now two weeks to go before our departure. The flight is confirmed - Thai Airlines to Hanoi via Bankok leaving 12.30 Heathrow on Sunday 6th September. The CRB check has been received and I've been security cleared by VSO. The only remaining task is to get our papers legalised in Milton Keynes. I'll do that on Wednesday. So everything is looking good. I feel a certain tension - low level stress - anticipation! The game's afoot. We both just want to get there now, it seems ages since I first heard about the placement - the 5th July I think.Quick mention of the SKWID course I went on at Harborne Hall a couple of weeks ago. Very intense but the learning will be highly useful I think in the job. Caroline at DRD reckons she uses it all the time. The crowd were pretty mixed - not as uniformly fun as the Supervols we met at P2V. But big shout to Alan and John who are going to Cambodia, Anja who will on our flight to Hanoi and Victoria out to the Phillipines. I hope to see them all again, either in HCMC or visiting them in their placements.PS England doing well at the cricket!
