I would like my DDs to be independent free spirits but at the same time just the thought of it scares the pants off me Hope your DD has a safe journey home and you get to spend some time with her before her next adventure

Thanks everyone

Received an email from her last night (missed her online by about 20 mins! ) to say she's in Caracas so just the flight to arrange now and a call to Dad to say where and when to collect her

Truth told, for all her adventures, she's terrified of coming home as it'll all seem so busy and commercial

Over the last two and a half years she's *holed* herself up in National Parks, small villages and the RainForest, only calling into the cities for her flights either way, so Heathrow will seem pretty frantic for her

Still, she'll survive, as we all do, and it'll be great to see her again - Eve is looking forward to being able to spray the windows with her at Christmas like they used to do

Excellent news, Alison, do keep us updated.

Well, my countdown has *ticked* it's way to the end and we're off to Berwick this morning

DD is still in Caracas - trying to arrange a flight home!

Hopefully she will get herself organised as I haven't a clue where or when I'll be able to find Internet access (it being Bank Hol the library will be closed..... )

For all her travels she'll readily admit that she'll *faff* about, with little or no direction, if not prompted so I'm going to work on the dog crossing his legs for extra luck

I'm certain I was never this much of a worry for my parents ............

 

[ariel75]

hope you enjoy yourself and try not to worry too much

 

[alisonbestford]

Thank you to everyone for your kind wishes and pixie dust

Laura is now home and, steadily, drinking her way through our beer, whilst being tormented by DD (7)

She managed to get home without being fined, or being locked up, for being 'illegal' but I've threatened her to never make us worry so much again.......................

 

[wils]

Glad she is back home!

 

[Lizzy Lemon]

Good grief, that took a long time, how do you stand the wait? Glad she's home.

 

[wideeyes]

Glad she is home safety.

 

[arieljasmine]

So pleased to hear this, Alison, great news.

Just wanted to send you you must be very relieved, maybe you could get her to write us a trip report of her adventure, i bet it would be compelling reading

 

[Spook]

LOL I think it would have to be a very edited version as some of her adventures make you shudder

There seem to have been many trips to the 'beer shop' though, in amongst the dramas

Here's a pic of my three biggest 'kids' on our first night out together for years.
The little, sensible one, was at her Nan's
