I did deliberate over whether to put a date on it as unfortunately the area she was going to was 60km from the centre of the recent horrific earthquake and we knew there was a chance to music tour would be postponed.
Well - as it turns out - the music tour to China is no more :( Instead they are going to a festival in New Zealand...in July!!! Don't ask me how I'm going to amend the notebook to read NZ now instead of China!! That will teach me for being too organised in advance!!!
Can I just say that while I'm disappointed my still 12 year old DD isn't getting to experience China I AM really pleased her first OS trip will be to New Zealand instead. Much closer to home, much safer (although they are going skiing!!) and almost like just visiting another Aussie state really!! But she will still be getting to experience another country, travelling without us and the excitement of travelling with her orchestra!
Talking to my cousin Rochelle in Sydney last night - she's always been heavily involved with Girl Guides - and she's thrilled to hear my girls are enjoying it so much! Told her about eldest DD being made a patrol leader and turns out she's PL for the same patrol Rochelle was when she was a Guide! What a coincidence!
Looking forward to catching up with all the cousins in October in Sydney - Rochelle and my brother are organising this gathering as we tend to only get together for weddings and/or funerals!
Youngest DD has been home from school ill today...have a feeling she'll be off colour still tomorrow. So much illness around atm...I'm STILL fighting my head cold!
