Hellooo!!!
I got back on Sunday so i'm still kinda confused at the moment :)
Your trip sounds really cool i would love to join you, have you calculated costs and stuff? What companies are you looking at for the golden triangle tours? Have you booked all of your flights and stuff already? so may questions!! hehe
Singapore thats cool made friend went there and had a brilliant time. Don't be scared it really isn't as scary as you imagine. I managed to survive and i'm completely useless! :P
Namibia was amazing I had a brilliant time it is a very special place. I fell in love with all of the animals though i was slightly terrified of the lions and baboons!! but I really bonded with a 26 year Cheetah who i really really miss. But i've got India coming up so i've got lots and lots to think about. I hope your all good have you started packing yet? XxKat

Hiya
Hope you don't mind but I'm shamelessly begging for votes as the closing date for voting is fast approaching (in 4th place right now!) and SO many people seem to not be able to vote I need extra extra votes!!

This competition literally means everything to me. I'm now truly beginning to discover who I am, and find the path I need to be on. Winning this trip of a lifetime, one that from a financial point of view I cannot ever really seeing myself being able to afford, would literally change my life, shake up my world and give me another perspective. I beg of you to vote for me more than any other competitor, because not only would I use up every single second of it to the nth degree and make the absolute most of it, I think it would make the most of me. A way to make new connections, spark new possibilities, and give light and hope. A trip to expand and explore, my location and my own mind. A trip. Of a lifetime. PLEASE VOTE FOR ME!

cool thats great well i will be signing on for Feb tomorrow. It all worked out in the end. I need to change my airfares and insurance but not to big a deal lucky, little cost though. well its great we have sorta already met. we can help each other think of stuff to pack. well hope all the plans from here go well and most of all enjoy your trip your going on with the lions and such. cya k8e xox

I'll be paying the full amount next mon when the cheque clears!! but yep yep it looks like were both going to India. Now i've just gotta worry about flights :(

hey i just rang this morning before i read your note. yeah as long as you and the other girl pay for your trip i can swap over yay how much better. i felt so relieved.I hope to much stuff does not change. I'm sure we will still get to see the elephants and hopefully everything else. thanks for your email proberly will be easier than on here. woohoo i'm going to India. catch ya k8e oh my name is Katie Hamilton Im a Kathryn techinically.

Did you get an e-mail from i to i? They basically told me that as soon as I pay the 50% balance they can confirm the trip as it is now allowed to go ahead with just 2 people- so you should definitely be able to come on the feb trip :) It's weird because I e-mailed them Monday morning and basically got an answer straight away saying that they've changed the name of the trip and a couple of the things we'll be doing. I think were just spending less time with the elephants. I've seen turtle conservation in Goa (not sure it' s itoi) you could do it after this trip! My full name is Katherine Murphy and i'm on the Hollyfield School network and my e-mail is mrsjovi@btinternet.com. If you haven't got the e-mail I can send it to you if you want? XxxKat

i have booked my flights, they can be changed fairly easily though.i have payed for the trip and yeah scary because may not go ahead, but if it does not ill get my money back or ill have to find another trip, i am pretty certain Jan is cancelled so still hoping for Feb only need one other person. otherwise ill find another trip in Jan, Feb or maybe we could find another trip and go at the same time? your trip sounds fun. I love animals i've always thought of doing turtle conservation.We should get eachothers emails or Facebooks? happy packing and such.xo k8e

Thank you!! I can't believe I'm actually going but I'm so excited hehe :) It is a volunteer placement at a place called Harnas ( or Noah's Ark) where I'll be looking after lions,leopards, cheetahs and other animals. We basically look after orphaned animals and try to rehabilitate them back into the wild.
I'm a bit stressed about the trip because they want all the money in November so I'm gonna have to pay it before I go which is slightly worrying because I still don't know if it's going ahead either. I'm going to wait till when I get back to arrange flights, I'm not risking it :) Have you heard any more on what month your doing? That sounds really cool, I've always wanted to go to Mumbai have you booked any of your flights yet? XxKat

I was really thinking about it , its such an amazing country it seems silly not to see as much of it as possible!! What other parts were you thinking of going to? I'd love to travel around the north of india for a bit as well. How long do you think you'll be travelling around India for? Xx

I went to Egypt last Jan for just under 3 weeks and 'm going Namibia on the 27th of oct. Little bit terrified because it my first trip on my own!! You thinking of doing any other trips? Xx
