Thanks for e-mail.Having looked at the runs at Whistler I've decided there are several to avoid!!Don't be fooled that they appear mid-way up the mountain (which is about four times the height of Alpbach), but a clue must surely be found in their names,such as "Black Magic", "Sorcerer" , "Sledge Hammer" and probably most frightening of all - "Freefall". I advise you go for "Upper Whiskey Jack" ie. whichever one you decide on get pissed first! To tell you the truth i'm jealous as hell!!! (but realistically probably a lot safer too!!!).Take lots of photos as love to see if they live up to their reputation;I hear it's fanastic skiing.Have fun and don't foget stare into their eyes when you say "Cheers!!".Love Charlie

Hi Em
Just got back from drowning my birthday sorrows so have only just had a look at the latest stage in your expedition, but it sounds like you've been doing all the proper sightseeing tours of Seattle which we should have done the first time round! And all the proper refreshment breaks too, talk about rain, you sound like you've been drinking it dry! Well done!
Hope you've taken a photo of yourself under the space needle and we can do a comparison - then and now!!!
Am incredibly jealous of your trips and tours and cannot wait to see all the photos!
Take care, speak soon, love always - Em xxx

Great to hear all your news Em,continue to have a good time and look after yourself and keep pure.xxx Fran
Cocktails,Canadian beer?! Is this the Emma Ive come to know and love?? I sincerely hope so - have a good trip.love Pamxxxxx
Hiya little Em - the family wanted to say hello - we've all just looked at your website - told you I was keen on it! In Worces at present doing bits and seeing people. Am getting a nice little bump now- can no longer deny being preggers! Feel well and looking forward to 5mth scan on 25/4. Will keep you posted.
Great being off work for a bit- IOW great but s***ty weather-went to a sweet factory which was really good!
Take heaps of care and enjoy every moment-you deserve it,
Love Mel, Joe and Cash x

Emm, Keep moving and having fun - eventually you'll end up back in Ruskins (thank God!). oh, by the way ManU slipped to third place this weekend, shame . . . . Best, Simon

Em, brilliant web site, brilliant piccies and top news on all your travels. I am still very excited for you and your wanderings and Vancouver looks great, thanks for checking it out for us, Ay :-) All is well here in the UK. I have just got back from Ireland and all my gang send you their love. We miss you loads but can see you are doing important work in bringing rain to draught ridden countries. I look forward to lots more updates.

You sound to be having a fabulous time. Seriously considering requesting a year from my job to do the same. We'll see. I've just come back from a week in Lourdes as a volunteer helper with a group of handicapped children, Had a fab time and will definately go again, but very tired. I have had more religion in the last week than in the past year, but enjoyed all the 'happy clapping' singing. Really proud of myself as I know know all the words - and actions to the Noah song! Take Care H x

Hi Hon, it has taken a while but at least I have finally managed to get around to posting something! Still v jealous that you are off whilst I'm stuck here with a ridiculous cold in the rain - some things never change hey? Love the picture of the bears - they look so cute! Sounds like you are having a ball, but there does appear to be a lack of gossip - surely there must be some?
Must go before the children kill each other - take care & speak soon, Michaela xx

Hi Em ! Sounds like you are having a great time ! Ange and Bev say hi - we all think this website is brilliant. It brightens our day stuck here at work and we enjoy keeping track on where you are - you lucky person !! Look forward to reading your next postcard - take care. love and hugs, Andrea xx

Hi hon

I am soooooooo jealous. I have just read through all your news, sounds like you are having a fab time. Sorry I misseed your drinks, it feels like I haven't seen you in ages. No real news from me, trying to organise a get together with Andrea and Ang, but it feels like we are not destined to meet. Just returned from a week in Spain; you know me lying on a sun lounger is my limit! Anyway, you take care, I look forward to reading all your news.

Well if Mum's getting in on the act then so is the sister! Sounds like you're having fun Em! Gran got your postcard - she was well chuffed and Kris if you read this she liked her pressie! Just got to teach her how to use the DVD player now!?! Anyhoo continue having fun!

Good to hear you're having a fab time.When will you get a chance to ski? Don't get too good, as it will be annoying and I may be forced to brave the friction burns and go to the dry slopes!Mel is looking well, and feels much better now which is excellent news.Kind Regards
