This is for Strump and anyone else looking for info on friends and family caught up in the Tsunami... Saw it on Yahoo a few minutes ago. My name is David Holloway from the UK and I'm on holiday in Phuket. If anyone in the UK needs any help in looking for family here in Phuket then I would be glad to help. Please email me on davidholloway @ golfingfife . com - I can ask at hotels or hospitals for information on your families, or anything else which might be a help to you. David Holloway All the best.

max/vicky iv tried to log onto the site u mention but it dont work also tried it by altering it but wasnt any good as they had no Christian Aid flights ..... wanted to help by a donation towards flights but cant help.....................

I'm leaving for the airport now. I have packed nothing much, my luggage is from Tescos! I know it seems incidental but I've bought lots of water and nothing much else. My flight is free, but I will donate the cost when I get back! Log on to www.britishairways*com/www.virginairways.com. I am being flown out by (confirmed now) Christian Aid! PLEASE DONATE, if you haven't already, even if it's only 50p it all adds up! 0800 60 60 900! All banks/building societies/post offices are collecting now. 123,000 are dead! 5m people are displaced! I'm tugging at all your hearts now! Catch up with you all when I get back! SPECIAL MESSAGE FOR STRUMP! I've made a note of your friends you are looking for! My daughter, Vicky will send you an e-mail tomorrow; I've given her my log-in details for this site and your e-mail address but I just can't make any promises. I'm scared, frightened and worried but I know I'm doing the right thing (for a change!) max xx

Strump I cut and pasted this from my reply to you earlier! Strump I'm not sure which airlines are flying out there at the moment but I'm going with an old work colleague of mine who has spent many years of his life helping others, Crisis at Christmas, Help the Aged and he flew out to Kobe in Japan after they had their major earthquake. I believe it's arranged by one of his many charities he is with. I only decided to go at the last minute (which is why I'm up at this unearthly hour!) as we are leaving for a flight from Heathrow shortly. If you are serious about flying out, I can have a word with him and see how you go about it as I've never done this before, although I have been to Thailand before, including Koh Phi Phi and Phuket. We are flying to Bangkok for a connecting flight to Phuket! You will need to ensure all your vaccinations are up to date and I can only stay a week as I can't afford to lose my job!!! max xx

Bryan. Thought about you, when typing my message. I really do think Max should get all that sorted before rushing into anything. Jenny x

max,do phone nhs direct,and get advice about the jabs required...you really cant go without them. good luck. bryan.

Max. What a lovely gesture. But, Where will you stay. Are there not vaccinations that you will need to protect you from all the disease that will be rife out there? I really do hope you have thought all this through properly. Promise us all that you will do your best to keep us informed as to how you are doing. Take care. Jenny xxx

Good on you Max. Wish I was fit enough to join you. XX Jim

****GOOD LUCK MAX**** but please do be careful & take care Love Lorraine xx

Jean, it's not just money - IT'S COMPASSION! max xx

Max are you working with one of the UN Agencies or are you going alone ??. I only ask out of concern , having done UN work in Bosnia and Serbia. :-)
