This will be the last post from Mand I think as she's on her way home after an eventful 3 month sabbatical. Anyone wanna take bets on how long it is before she's called a goff?

anyway enjoy


Thursday 31 7 03 American Airlines flight AA0954 departs Tegucigalpa 13:01  arriving Miami int.
17:34  no stops.  PNR YCGW9L

Change to American airlines AA056  time 19:50  arriving London Heathrow 09:25  PNR YCGW9L  ( I
assume this means passenger number)

I leave the island at 5am on Wednesday and I'm not sure that I'll be able to find an internet cafe in Tegus - don't really want to be wandering around that town as I know 9 people who've been mugged there in the past 3 months!

Everyone keeps telling me I'm mad because I can't wait to leave, I've had fun here but the
island life is too laid back for me, I need to have things to do. Plus I'm
sick of being a shoulder to cry on for teenage Americans who sleep with guys they just met then
cry when they leave the island without saying goodbye!

I've had an annoying dutch bloke asking me to go for a drink with him all the time, until
Whitney told him that I'm here looking for the perfect place for my honeymoon and I'm getting
married as soon as I get back to England, he started asking me about what my dress looked like
and what rings we'd chosen and giving me advice about flowers! it was so funny, and now whenever
I see him he hums the wedding march and wishes me good luck!

Anyway, fake wedding planning aside, not much has been going on, I'm going to the beach this
afternoon and tomorrow I guess I'll be packing so I'll see you all soon!

well, I survived the carnival - just. It was a bit of a nightmare but kinda fun I suppose, people her are very strange, adults were fighting to get plastic shiny necklaces!

I am so ready to come home now! I think my last weekend here may be spent lounging around doing nothing... just for a change, although I could teach Sam to Kayak. She's so funny, she's 30 years old and can't ride a bike, Kayak, swim or poo in a shared toilet! you gotta wonder why she came here!

I am being driven mad by the Americans, they are very nice in short doses but are starting to do my head in! One of them, Whitney cried when she saw someone hit a pig with a stick the other day... we're talking huge hog and small boy trying to herd it with a small stick, I doubt it even felt it. Then again she does insist on kissing all the local stray cats, despite one scrathed face, one bitten lip and quite a few fleas!

I have made an interesting discovery though - they have never heard of the word queue!

I went to the cinema last night to see tears of the sun with Bruce Willis in... quite enjoyed it although it did have some cheesy moments that weren't necessary.

well, I am so looking forward to coming home now, I've got to kill time here until Tuesday then I leave at 6am on Wednesday flying out on a tiny little plane and I'm going to spend Wednesday going to the National Art Gallery and museum in Tegus, night in a posh hotel with a swimming pool and flying out on Thursday.

See ya soon!
