Hi Guys! It sounds like you're having such a great time! I love the adventures of the last blog. You're really experiencing so much and getting in there with the locals. I'm really happy for you...and as you know slightly jealous!!! Anyway, I'm glad to hear about everything and I enjoy reading the blogs! Stay safe and keep exploring!!

Hey you two, lovely to read your latest blog - every day seems to bring something new to you. Variety is the spice of life eh? I know Jamie & Laura would have spoiled you with home comforts and then their generous offer of Murtle Beach!!! Sooo lucky and I bet the reunion with Irene, Marion, Donna and all your friends back home was very special. Caye Caulker must have taken you both back to Beachcomber at times - sliding doors and all that! How a chance meeting can change your life path. You both look incredibly happy, fit and tanned. Take care of each other. PS. Jo they won' let you bring ANY monkeys through Auckland airport - oh they look so cute - you must have been tempted to adopt one. Keep your head my Sweetheart. Love to Greg. Hugs. Mum xx

Greetings, Greg thanks for the new glasses they are nice. A little small for my big polish head but theyll do till you return. Sorry the visit was so short and I was so distracted. There wasnt anything I could have done. It was great seeing you both. Im sure your having a great time with our southern neighbors. Take care...God bless and hopefully we'll be able to meet you somewhere along the journey. MAybe I can get Uncle Marion and Aunt Donna to pay for it...haha. TAke care of each other

Greg and Jo, it was nice to see you both, to have the family together even if it was for a short time. Hope you are having the time of your life. Babcias are asking every day of where you are today? Where will you be tomorrow? They are relearning their geography again. Imagine that at 80+ and 90+. The pictures are great.

The ride from the airport was uneventful. Stayed up all day, too. Hope you had a great flight. Phillies lost 2 in plyoffs. But, its not over yet! Flyers had their first game today, still playing Guess where Dad is? Eagles are on a buy week....Hope to hear from you soon! Love Mon and Dad.

Hi guys!

We miss you guys so much, and CAN'T wait for our Thailand reunion :) Hope that you guys have a safe flight to Belize with some great accomodations to boot! We just got back from Cape Cod, and guess what...I picked up ANOTHER dog...just kidding, Ryan would kill me. I love the new pics you put up, especially the one of Cher and the motorboat ;) Have a great time, keep those blogs and pictures coming!

Miss you!

April and Ryan

It was great seeing you! Jo, you have grown to be a beautiful young woman, and Greg's not too bad for a yankee! (just kidding!) Hope you got some much needed R&R before heading off to South America. I am not sure Spartanburg SC was on your short list of must sees, but we sure are glad you stopped by. We are happy that we could return some of the hospitality shown to us by your parents over the years. We will be following your travels, as you make your trip of a lifetime. Be safe, and stay in touch.

Jamie and Laura

We are just in the door....home from our long weekend break in gay Paris and I couldnt wait to switch my computer on to make sure you are both safely out of the Grand Canyon. Wow - what a place to trek! Makes the Tongariro Crossing look like a morning's dander!... but thats in the words of an experienced hiker ...yet!!l That is one big one to cross off and I just can't imagine all that exercise in that heat. You are two big stars... you deserve the red carpet treatment. Well done. Photos are again amazing...I love the humour in some of them too. Keep up the intriguing blog..you write so descriptively - we feel we are on the same trail without the blisters. SO HAPPY that you are both safe and well. Now get that salt back into those fit bodies...fast. Take care. Love you heaps. Mum xx

Hi there to my wonderful grand daughter and Greg, I just love getting your newsletter and only wish I could be with you both. Enjoy every minute of your travels. I will send you atext on Gregs cel phone I have the number. So looking forward to having you all home for Christmas. Poppa and I go up to Auckland to morrow for my eye injection , we are so thrilled with the results, I am seeing much better and I playe golf without my glasses and my score was amazing, when I came home Poppa put the medal I won at the masters games around my neck - he was so pleasedMust go to bed I will write again soon. Lovre Nana and Poppa

Greg and Jo -

We miss you dearly. We are heading out on the town, pre-gaming just isn't the same without you guys and one of my concoctions. April said that if you guys came back she wouldn't even mind Montreal anticks. Stoli and Sophie are the bestest of friends. They tear up the house on a regular basis but I guess we wouldn't know what it would be like without the little terrors. I finally got rid of all that excess fense and that smelly fridge from the basement. Thinking about a cocktail party in the basement with some fine home-made wine, wanna come? Oh, and we are thinking about a holloween party, what are you going as, pirates? Anyway, I wish you well with your journey to San Diego, an amazing place. Hopefully you will inspire us to hop a train soon, ciao.

April and RJ

Great to have just spoken to you now as you wind your way towards Yosemite. My USA geography skills are improving by the day thanks to your experinces on the road. I track you both daily. Right at this moment my atlas is open and I am following you with my finger on the motorway that you are on. This way you feel closer and your blog and photos are a Godsend to us. Every place you visit looks so spectacular and as for the lighthouse hostel... Jo you beat me to to it - I have always wanted to stay in a lighthouse! Your accounts of your travels just seem to get better and better - will there be a peak or will it just be ongoing? Makes me just want to hop on a plane and tag along... but as you so rightly said Jo.."There's no room in the boot".. opps thats meant to be 'trunk in US lingo. Safe travelling and take care of each other. You are both very precious. Love Mum x
