Hi everyone! first of all... SORRY!!! I haven't been able to get onto a funcitoning computer for weeks!! So I'm gunna have to bullet point a tad in this - otherwise it would end up being a never ending essay of randon stuff! :P Also - thankyou everyone for all the comments! - it's wicked to hear from you and i swear its keeping me from home sickness :) Anyway... back to travel stuff...
