Alison has made it to Vietnam

Sitting at the kitchen table having got the kids in bed and it's sinking in that Alison is now in Vietnam.

For Alison all the packing is done, the last minute things have been organised, and the inevitable hiccup has been dealt with.

Yesterday we drove from Red Hill to Kew and had yummy pizza with Don & Meryl and Lyn and after having a good catch up with farewells, headed on our way to the airport.

At the airport we met the Francis & Groen clan members for coffee and an ice cream. Thanks for making the effort to meet us there and say good bye to Al particularly with Andrew due back at the airport at 6am the next morning.

At 10pm Alison said good bye and headed through the international departure gate on her way.

Once in Vietnam Alison will attend a weeks in country training and orientation and will start work on the 24st September at the Lifestart Community Centre.

Pete and the boys will leave on the 1st October and join Al to begin their big adventure.
