Quick Hi D-4 / Petit bonjour rapide J-4

Monday, October 30th, 2006

Just a quick hello from France where we are really enjoying the indian summer. It was still in the low 20s when we arrived. The trip was a bit of an adventure as we had too much weight, one too many bags, and the ckeck in agent was a bit of a stuck up bi*ch – but her colleague was ok so she let us through with just a 7 quids fee. For now we catch up on our sleep, the family/friends/pets/food… The big trip begins in just 4 days. Mumbai here we come!!!

Juste un petit bonjour de France ou nous profitons de l’été indien. If faisait dan les 20 degres quand nous sommes arrives. The voyage etait un peu une aventure car nous avions trop de poids, un sac en trop, et l’hotesse de Ryanair etait un peu couillonne mais sa collegue un peu moins donc elle nous a laisse passer avec un supplement de 7 livres. Pour l’instant on profite de pouvoir dormir, de la famille/les amis/le chien/la nourriture… le gros voyage commence des 4 jours. Mumbai, nous arrivons!!!!

Big thank you to our colleagues/ Gros merci a nos collegues!

This is our last day at work. We just had our presentation. The best thing when you leave this place is that you get chocolates, champagne….and Jane’s card 😉 . As soon as we can we’ll put a picture if here. We both would like to thank all our colleagues, family and friends for their help and understanding in our project. It is a once in a lifetime opportunity and we are lucky to be able to do it. We will be keeping in touch and pleas let us know how you get on.

Take care

Voici notre dernier jour de travail. On vient juste d’avoir notre presentation de depart. Ce qui est super quand on quitte la compagnie c’est qu’on vous offre des chocolats, du champagne…et la carte de Jane 😉 . Des que possible nous mettrons une photo de la carte sur le blog. Nous voudrions remercier nos collegues, nos familles et nos amis pour leur aide et leur comprehension dans ce projet. C’est une chance unique dans notre vie et nous avons beaucoup de chance de pouvoir le faire. Nous resterons en contact et donnez nous de vos nouvelles aussi
