Greetings from Queenstown - Happy New Year guys! Hope the hostel crimbo feast was a good un and that you partied your way into 2005. Its a bit weird celebrating it in the middle of summer isn't it?? I'm very jealous of your supa-dupa web site - much better than my rambling travel emails! Didn't make it to the west coast myself but heard its fantastic - and in a camper van too - how exciting! Are you still coming to christchurch in feb? Hope we can meet up at some point. Enjoy and have a VB for me! Ames xxx

Hello U2,
Just thought we'd say have a HAPPY NEW YEAR and enjoy your celebrations, cant believe even when your traveling you still dont know what to do. Anyway be good to hear from you soon (i.e why havent you replied to my email Melon?) Take Care, Love Carly and Rich x x x

Correction please. Meant to say glad to know you're in Western Australia, well EAST! of Asia. Good Day Mates!

Good'ay Shelia and Bruce!

You sound like your having a nice time. Helen your tan is coming on a treat!

Thanks for wishing Cameron happy birthday, he had a nice day. He got loads for Christmas & his birthday, he doesn't know which toy to play with next!

I am taking him to see Disney on Ice on Sunday with Tom and his family, hopefully he'll sit and watch it without causing to much trouble.

I'm been getting a strange exciting feeling that ive been travelling the world to! It must be a twin thing!

We were all round Nora & Vin's on Tuesday, Neil brought his Karaoke machine, I thought their cat had been resurrected some of the squealing that was coming out.

Not sure what we are doing New Years Eve yet, I think its a toss up between the Hogshead or Charlie Chanseither way were in for a fun filled night.

Well best go Superman 2 is on in ten minutes and I dont want to miss that!

Take care will speak to you soon.

Love Anthony

Yo! Yo! Yo! Just checking in once again. Merry (belated) Christmas and Happy New Year to you two. I feel better to know that the two of you were well west of the tsunami that struck parts of the Asian region. That was a horrible state of affairs. Nice pictures. I must say that I have thoroughly enjoyed them all. Well, seems like you two are carrying on very well. May God continue to bless and keep you two on your journey!

We hope you are having great time in Oz. We all want to know if you've seen any kangaroos?

Hi Helen & Dean hope you both had a great christmas on your travels.We spent christmas with nanny & uncle

Happy Christmas Helen and Dean from County Mayo - a long way from here to there! You seem to be having a great time and I hope it all goes well - take care of yourselves. Your trip seems to be a trip of a lifetime - a long way from playing with the cats on Granny's window cill here in Carramore - it seems just a few short years ago. I enjoyed the wounderful photographic record - especially of you both in front of the India's most famous landmark- Diana was pictured sitting in that very spot.
Well I had a very different Christmas here - a white one this year. I am looking forward to the turn of the year and to a better one in 2005 - I hope to make it my travelling year - so many places to go and so many people to meet.
Take care - enjoy - and come come back to us - refreshed I'm sure.

Hi Dean. Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year!! We have finished Xmas dinner and are now just about to over indulge with yet more food and drink. Photos look great, your both looking very chilled out. Enjoy Australia. Love all the Finchies xx

Hope you had a happy christmas, hope the new year is the same. Glad your enjoying yourself. We got your postcard from India, obviously having a wonderful time. Enjoy the rest of your trip!
