We have a leaving date!

We have taken the plunge and bought our tickets and travel insurance.

Our departure date is Sunday 29th January 2006.

We will be flying with Quantas to Bangkok from London Heathrow. Then we will have a week’s acclimatisation in Chiang Mai, Northern Thailand before flying to Phnom Penh on Saturday 4th February.

Needless to say we are very excited, it has been a long time coming. Indeed, the day Tim bought the tickets it is almost ten years to the day from when he realised he wanted to live in Cambodia.

Eden was born at home after a straightforward labour and peaceful delivery at 4.48am on friday the second of september 2005. He weighted 8lbs. He has been happily breastfeeding and sleeping since. He is a very calm little fellow. Catherine is recovering well and Forrest slept through the whole thing.
