From Diana, September 26, 2006:
As I sit at my desk, my mind wonders to the trip we have all just undertaken. The most wonderful part for me, and Ken Cooke already noted this, was the magnificent people we met along the way who shared our adventure and who helped create the marvelous memories that I am sure we all have. In addition, my fellow crewmembers each played a huge part in my experience and added such intangible value. At the time, some of it was overwhelming and hard to absorb but now, with the benefit of time and relaxation, the enormity of the experience is sinking in and it will remain a treasure for the rest of my life.
For River, thank you for reminding me what is important – relationships with people and unrecoverable opportunities. I would be missing much of life without you to help guide the way. I am so happy and honoured to be your future wife. I give you my heart.
For Mummy, you are my rock. Your strength, courage, wisdom and joyful way of being inspire me.
I love you!
For my friends and family at home, thank you all for your support and help behind the scenes giving encouragement and enthusiasm. A special thank you, Ruth, for your understanding and for making it easy to take the time, and to John and Ruth, for loving my kitties in my absence and giving me the peace of mind to leave them.
