I was so confused just then, i saw my name further down on this message board and i thought when did i write that, i dont call people my lovely??? and her email address is hellsbells, must be a common nickname for us Helens.

anyway, would be nice to see you one last time before you leave, whatever happened to tea at Damons?, but if i dont get the pleasure i hope you have a great time (impossible not to really) and dont forget about us.

love you long time.

bon voyage.

Hi Andy, I have just read your itinery and you are doing an almost identical trip as my son ( he went 3 years ago ) except for the states. I wish you all the best, have an absolutely great time and don't hold back from doing the things you really want to do, you might never get the chance again. Take care and happy travels ... Anne xx

Hey Andy.....I didn't get to say goodbye either.....

Have a 'fab' time on your travels, I'll be checking in to see what you've been doing, be safe but have loads of fun, Lots of love, Jo xxxxx
