I leaned against the desk, held my head in my hands and said "this can't be happening to me...."Several minutes later after balling, pleading, begging and getting shirty…

Albert Einstein once said 'if at first an idea isn't absurd, there is no hope for it'. No truer words said. Me, Amy Jones, take 6 months off and go around the world? Yeah right, like THAT's going to happen!! 'State your intentions and the rest will come' I told myself. And if you're reading this, it worked - I have gone and I'm actually 'doing it'.
Bring it on! Stay in touch, I'll miss all of you loads, I'm terrified and excited all rolled into one but this trip, simply, 'h…

So please do use this site, text and email, I'll be thrilled to hear from you. 'I'm off to put my flip flops on'! xxx

Hi Amy, not long now until we see that smiling face of yours again, with that slightly hippy demi-wave hair style you've adopted lol.
I hope you're ready with your thermals as we've had the first frost here a balmy -1 this morning. Not what you've been used too!!!
I hope India lived up to your expectations and look forward to reading your next installment.

Well Darling, can hardly believe that your time away from us is almost over. But I know you will be home shortly as I have just received your grocery list! Words cannot express how proud everyone is of you. Your site has been an enormous pleasure to so many friends and family, and I would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for accompanying Amy on her fantastic adventure. I know it has been of great comfort to her (and me) to know you have been by her side.
Can't wait to see you. Love to you and Na. Your Mum.xxxxxxxx

Hi Amy
I have just emailed you directly but also just wanted to say you are amazing and we can all learn alot from you - you made me cry at my desk reading your journals!!! Thanks for that!
I hope you had a lovely time with your Mum and Mart (Dad!), your photos are fab.
Safe trip home and can't wait to see you on 25th November!
Take care my sweet, lots of love, Suzie xxx
Sandra
Wow, what a deep and meaningful journal entry. I am so glad that you have had a ball and discovered so much about yourself. I think its true that most of us don't have the balls to do what you've done and we admire you for that.
Enjoy the remaining time you have away and see you on the 25th.
Remember.............
Life is a promise; fulfill it.

Well love, you are in my old home town now and it sounds like you are starting to have a blast - such a shame the fleet doesn't dock there any more you would have had such a good time!!! Enjoy it even though you are dying to get to Na. xx

Dear Amy,
Reading your entries and seeing your pictures of all your adventures i feel inspired. I feel like i, too can stretch my wings and would love to share my experiences just like you.
However, the girls at work have told me to shut up (and get on with some work) that NO-ONE but NO-ONE will be in the slightest bit interested in my shopping trips round Calne...my dog walks to the rec...my two hour ironing sessions or my opinion of the current storylines in Emmerdale. So, i continue to dream through your entries and pictures. Wishing you every second is better than the last. Have to go back to my thrilling life and wash kitchen floor. Hey ho! Much love & hugs, Laura, Marcus & Jess xxxxx
Sandra
Hi Amy, What a brilliant time you're having. Reading your journal makes me laugh so much. Have you ever though of a career as a travel journalist? Got to be better than coming back here lol. By the way Jono is back from Iraq and is in Warminster on a course.
Speak soon

Sarah and the boys
I know you were queuing for visas and such but I still hope you had the most amazing birthday!!!! All the boys send their love and kisses and hope you bought yourself a fab present.
Love you loads
