Mum Sadly this is going to be my last message on your board, it has been great reading all your blogs and also looking at all the photos, can't wait to see the photos of your travels in Australia, really looking forward to seeing you on Friday. With very much love and prayers for your safe journey home. Mumxx

VICKI YO YO jo's daddy ..... ur last message was legendary ...... the big metal bird is soon to arrive and we are on our last springs of days ... i think jo's toe needs a photograph, maybe she needs new legs and cauliflowers put on instead ha! FACT! keep sending the cool ones peace out bro! xxxxxx

Dad Hmmmm!!!!! Maybe I should have checked the splinge pin as well as the doppleganger rod on the Purple Princess Joanne. Too late now I've crossed the Gypsies palm with your silver. You will be shocked to hear that it has turned cold here as well. Enjoy your last few days you two, I'm sure you will soon be planning your next exploration.......see you when big silver bird carries you home from land of upside down fella that never falls off. Keep safe girls Dad xxxxxxx

Lisa McElhinney Joanne and Vicky, so sorry to hear that your camper van let you down, can just heard Dad saying 'it must be a dry joint' (he always said that to me when my cars let me down)!!!! Well enjoy your last few days and look forward to seeing you back in the UK safe and sound. Love Lisa and Michael xxxxxxx

Mum Just to let you know we have survived the Irish wedding. It started with the Marriage in the church at 12.30pm on Friday and finished when the last left the reception at 6.30am on SATURDAY, they certainly do know how to celebrate. The wedding reception started with a band, followed by entertainment, then Irish dancing which was fantastic, then the band returned and then the disco! Daddy lasted until 1.30am and I gave in at 3.0am thank god we were staying in the hotel so only had to go upstairs! Have read your blog and am glad the sunshine returned after the disappointment of the dolphin day being cancelled. I think you should have taken Geography instead of History at GCSE and A level! Looking forward to some more photos, where are they? Will email tomorrow as need an early night. With very much love mumxx PS Text as soon as you have DONE the skydive as want to know it is over with!

James Hmmmm..... I'm some what confused....... I know I've been in my study a while now and hysteria is setting in - but did I miss the news saying Fraser Island miraculously floated round to Western Australia......

Mum Joanne and Vicki, have read your updated blog and it sounds like you have had a fantastic sailing trip. I assume the weather has continued to be hot and hope the sunshine follows you. Have a love time on your next trip and please don't tell me about any sky- diving or bungy jumping until after you have done it! Missing you lots and looking forward to your next album of photographs. With very much love Mum (K)

Pam Message for Tasha in the hope that you will read Joanne's message board. We haven't got a telephone number for you or your new address so this is the only way of wishing you good luck with your new job and we hope you enjoy the first days of your teaching career. Much love THE KIERNAN'S

James Hello travellers.......Loving the photos and blog. Glad to hear that Asia's lived up to all expectations. So the 8 week Rice and Noodle diet's over - I'm guessing a bit of Aussie Barbequing is beginning to sound quite appealing! Enjoy the next part of your trip Jo - Just look out for those Crocs/Sharks/Bluey's/Redbacks and of the course the lethal 'Drop Bears' that seem to thrive on English Tourists. Australia's awesome, so make the most of it! If you could bring me back a 4 and 20 pie - this'd be one happy boy! Take careJames X

Mum K Joanne, Vicki called round last night and is very excited and can't wait to meet up with you, she is so much looking forward to exploring Australia, so ENJOY. Would you try and email or text as soon as you have met up safely so as I can call Vicki's mum to put her mind at rest. Sam have a safe journey home, and you will be pleased to know we have ordered some sunshine for your return. Have just checked the 5 day forecast and it says sunshine for the next 5 days, although it won't be a hot as you are used to. Looking forward to speaking to you over the weekend after you have had some sleep and recovered from the long flight. Much Love Mum/Pamxx

Kate/Mum Hi there you 2, I don't feel I've used this message board enough while you've been off galavanting but some of us have work to do and can't spend all day lying in the sun, seeing amazing places etc and therefore i have very little to say. Jo--I can only reiterate your Mums words regarding the english summer--it has been foul and to be honest, why would you want to come back with sam and face all his washing---I personally can't wait!!!!!!! The puppy is wonderful and behaving himself very well--we've decided that all the hard work we've done with him will be undone in a couple of hours with sam--bless!!!!!! you'll need to come and visit very soon after you get back from Aus just to sort him (do i mean sam or the puppy??) I'll be at gatwick to pick up on saturday and can't wait to hear all the news, enjoy the last couple of days in Thailand--don't forget our presents! Jo, have fabulous time in Aus and we'll look forward to seeing you at the end of September. Much love to you both xxxxxxxxxx

Mum K Have just read your updated blog and looking forward to seeing the photos. Sam enjoy the final couple of days of your travels and have a safe journey home. Joanne, if you are feeling just a little bit home sick especially as Sam is coming back, don't bother, the weather here is very depressing, grey sky with constant light rain and cold enough for the central heating in the middle of our english summer! You would only be home for a day or two before wishing you were back there. Have a safe journey to Australia and continue enjoying with your new travelling partner, Vicky. I have made contact with her and I am arranging to meet her mum within the next couple of days. Also have spoken to the College of Law and we have all the information you need which Vicky says she will bring out with her, together with your mob phone. I will email you regarding the content of the book from the College of Law. Much Love Mum/Pamxx

Lisa McElhinney Shivers down my spine after seeing your photos of skulls and the mass graves sign! x

Nicky Hi guys! Pics look fab. Couldn't look at them for too long though as they reminded me too much of our travels last year and we are now in cloudy, boring England. Jealous to say the least! Jo-have sent you an email at long last. Rubbish big sis, I know! Hope you are enjoying Sihanoukville. Watch out for the hoardes when you get off the bus in Siem Reap-they are seriously nuts! Make sure you have a Jolie cocktail there-you'll see what I mean as soon as you enter any bar. Take care peeps. Missing you and love you lots, Nix xxxx
