IS Absolutely FUN!<BR> Well, seriously...the girls are having a great time.&nbsp; In the end, it's as good as it can ever be.&nbsp; A trully funfilled family vacation.&nbsp; We are loaded with food, water, milk powder, chocolates! When the boat is moving we still can lie on our familiar bed, not like the aeroplane where we have to sleep upright! More later...better sign off before I get cut off!!<BR> Love, Meng Ngee :)<BR> &nbsp;<BR><br /><hr />Share life as it happens with the new Windows Live. <a href='http://www.windowslive.com/share.html?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_Wave2_sharelife_112007' target='_new'>Share now!</a><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/constante/~4/190711659" height="1" width="1"/>Meng Ngeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00865690598936673213noreply@blogger.com2http://blog.sailconstante.com/2007/11/cruising-is-fun.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1933465837047713008.post-2794387184317342722007-11-21T19:03:00.000+08:002007-11-21T19:09:29.166+08:002007-11-21T19:09:29.166+08:00Hi friends,<br /><br />It's for real now we are really leaving. The date Sunday Nov 4th 2007 in the morning around 10 am. Hope we will have everything ready by then. It is a mad rush for Franck and I now. The girls have NO IDEA what is going on. When the boat is in the water Friday afternoon, we will post a photo...IF we know how.<br /><br />Love, Meng Ngee :)<a href="http://onecare.live.com/standard/en-us/purchase/trial.aspx?s_cid=wl_hotmailnews" target="_new"></a><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/constante/~4/178231419" height="1" width="1"/>Meng Ngeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00865690598936673213noreply@blogger.com8http://blog.sailconstante.com/2007/11/departure.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1933465837047713008.post-12395040432895540642007-09-21T21:59:00.000+08:002007-09-22T12:03:58.770+08:002007-09-22T12:03:58.770+08:00<p align="left">Voila cinq années que nous nous préparons a cet instant.
