Mummy Daddy and Debbie and Vicki are in Thailand! We have seen temples and Palaces and bridges and caves and travelled by boat train bus plane taxi and tuk tuk not to mention the air conditioned private limo type thing! Weve gone from the craziness of Bangkok to the isolation of Kanchanaburi and all in 5 days!
Now we are in Chiang Mai (north) looking forward to thai boxing tonight, followed by night bazaar, elephant trekking, rafting,ox cart, cooking classes, cultural evening,more temples and flying like gibbons all in the next 8 days!!!!!!!!!
Phew i am exhausted just writing it. Off for a nap befor dinner i think as we have just had a swim in the pool.
Hope your travels are still going well and that you have a good time with John and Mary and the girls. Guess well meet you back in the UK in a couple of months.
Love you lots and still miss you mum, dad and debs xxxxxxxxxx

Hey mum, i'm in negotiationa with the racoon saloon to try and get hold of john and mary-they think im a stalking lunatic so it's not going too well just yet!
Valentines day-we walked 20km to a lake, then watched the rugby! So not a bad day, but not my best idea for a perfect valentines day exactly!
Hope the wedding was beautiful and fun, and that craig and nigel were on time! And have an amazing time in thailand
Lots of love xxxxxxx
Mum
Just got your postcard from the most southern city in the world. It definitely looks cold but quite ethereal aswell.
Dad and I are really excited about our forthcoming trip to Thailand. Once more I wish we could all go but I guess that Ill just have to tell you all about it when we get back. Such is life!
My last day in Coventry today which is a bit scary as I have to get up and make a speech. Sall is coming to watch me graduate so that will be good and Ben says he might but he has an exam today so Im not expecting him to.
We ve got michelle and james wedding on saturday so as you can imagine Diane is very excited about being the mother of the bride. Weve got the job of getting Craig and Nigel to the church on time! I thought we were just going as normal guests to enjoy ourselves I didnt expect to be given responsibility!
Hope that you are still enjoying yourselves and we ll see you now in a couple of months.
Love you lots mum xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Lucy I have looked in all old diaries and address books. I have even rung Aunty Sue to check out Grandpas address book and then I have spoken to Uncle Don the oracle of the Shaw dynasty and he hasnt come up with it either.
We have however trawled the internet and come up with a phone number for a John Palladino in Wrightwood California so I will forward that to you for you to try. Just be aware that im not positive that it is correct!
Dad and I have booked our flights to Bangkok on the 21st of February and we arrive back in the UK on Tuesday 8th March. I am very excited and cant actually believe that this is happening.
Hopefully I will get to speak to you on skype before we go and have a chat. Ill send you that text now and then I have to get going.
Love mumxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
PS did you do anything exciting for Valentines day?
Lucy
Hey mum, i never had any copy of john and marys number, last year you called them for me, i'm sure it was written down in a diary because it took no time to find it! Didn't dad call their son michael not so long ago? it is getting a wee bit desperate that i call them soon, as we want to stay 3/4 nights at the beginning of march. Come on dad-help me!!!
Anyway-go you guys on the thailand trip!! That's so exciting, you're going to have an amazing time. It's crazy!
had a look at that website, looks interesting, but more like it would be a voluntary thing? Are you looking for work with them? Good luck with the receptionist job, you'll do great-you are the best person at organising, and good with people so just enjoy! very proud of you for finishing the course. Amazing mum.
The glacier was so incredible yesterday that we both wore out our camera batteries-in 5 hours! now we have thousands of pics to edit for the blog that we are miles behind on!
Love you lots xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Mum
Hiya Lucy
Hope you are having a good time at perito moreno today. It looks as though dad and i will be flying to Thailand on the 22nd of February for 10 to 14 days. We are just waiting for Debbie to confirm whether she thinks flying to Bangkok or Chiang Mai will be the best option for us.
I am quite excited as i finish my course in Coventry next week and have been offered voluntary work there on the reception so that will give me some work experience. Cant be bad.
Im also in touch with a Theatre company called Ego who are based at the Motor Museum but Have the Belgrade Theatre at their disposal.
They sounded quite excited when I told them that I knew a scenic artist and a joiner! I think that they are probably more interested in meeting you two than me. Anyway I am meeting them on Wednesday so Ill let you know.
Im sorry but we do not have John and Marys phone number. I think that you had the only copy of it. Im trying to get your dad to phone his uncle Don up to get it but have so far been unsuccessful.
Really looking forward to seeing you now. Enjoy the rest of your stay in South America.
Love you lots Mum xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Lucy
Ah no I'm by no means wishing my time here away, but i will be ready for home when that day arrives! It's crazy to think that we are nearly done with south america, and will be in the states before we know it!
Deb, hows Aisa? You with Vickie? I'm very excited for you both, we've headr amazing thinga about the places you will be going to! And mum and dad, keep me posted with your adventure plans!
Going to see a massive, active glacier today (perito moreno), it's meant to be a real argentina highlight so we're both very excited! Lots of love xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Debasia
You're counting down the days already?!! haha I'm liking Singapore so far - hostel is awesome you'd love it!! It actually rivals Cairns Girls hostel! I have seen any nursery themes!!!! What happened to equality eh! haha
Off to explore a bit now. lots of love
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Luc
Ah me too mum, just 93 days to wait now!
We´re pretty chilly in patagonia still, currently on the chilean side (the borders are mental) and heading to the continents number 1 national park, torres del paine. We´re very excited as it´s meant to be amazing, but it´s going to be windy, and freezing, and expensive. Think it´s going to be a 5day trek (wish me luck!) and the blisters have only just healed! So don´t worry if you don´t hear from me for the next week or so, we´re heading into fairly bleak territory
Lots of love xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Mum
hiya
