    Well, I'm going to post anyway even if you havent gone anywhere yet! I've never really chatted to you but I still know an important member seems to be "graduating" from our midst.

    The word "inspiration" has been used a lot in this thread and rightly so. You've earned your trip well and truly and given hope to a lot of people on here with your positivity and fun.

    Dont need to wish that you have the time of your life on your travels cos there is no doubt you are about to!

    Have fun

    Ms London you will be missed. You are a lovely person and as all have said a great inspiration. I hope you have a wonderful time. The friends you have here will be on the end of a computer anywhere in the world. All my best wishes and thanks for your contributions on the site.

    I'd like to echo these sentiments too. You have been an inspiration and I hope you have a fantastic trip. :)

    Aaaaaw thanks guys & girls. As you can see, I am still here, but finish a week on Thursday and cannot wait!! WhooooOOooooo!!

    I really appreciate all of your kind comments, and will definately stay in touch when away, I may do a blog/diary of some kind, so will post you the link when I decide which one to use.

    Dottyanne - you asked how long it took me to become debt free, well around 3 years in total, but the majority was paid off in 2005 (£10,000) and most in 2004 (my 3 credit cards, around £5,000)..

    Thanks a lot for your messages. xx
