My Mum's dream come true!

My Mum, who is 72, has always dreamt of visiting the Caribbean but never thought it would be possible.  Up until a couple of years ago she had never been on a plane and then she plucked up the courage to fly out with our daughter Emily to visit us in Guyana.  She was even brave enough to come with us on a small aircraft to fly over the Amazon forest to see the Kaiteur Falls in Guyana and surprised us by being completely calm and stoical about it all!

As we were travelling to Guyana this time via Barbados we invited her to fly out and join us for a week.  She was really nervous about the thought of flying alone but we booked her special assistance, my brother dropped her at Gatwick and we met her yesterday at the airport here.  She is now enjoying her dream come true...she never thought she'd see and experience white sand and turquoise sea but her courage has meant she has now done what she thought was impossible.

A lesson to all of us...however old you are there may still be a chance to fulfil a dream if you're brave enough!  Here she is paddling in the Caribbean with me. 😃
