Oh my goodness just when i thought the journal enteries and photograghs cant get any better you two just bowl me over with more intriguing adventures and pictures to be green with envy of-you two are having the time of your lives where as us back home are doing the usual last minute shopping wrapping etc ready for xmas.cant believe xmas is here -an emotional time of year but even more so when two of the most important people in our lives wont be here with us.miss you both so very much just knowing that your not going to be popping over and its not going to be the usual mad house at mom's when we're all in one house and moms fussing and looking after everyone just wont make it the same! We will be fine weve got mr james to keep us busy but no matter how hard we try to distract ourselves i can bet our thoughts and conversation will keep wandering back to the budding adventurers who we love so very much.Merry christmas to you both we love you so very much please remember this especially today if your reading this xmas day.Everyone back home is behind your adventures 100% and we are so very proud of you and admire your every step.stay safe stay happy and keep living your dream.sending you magical thoughts hugs and kisses love you always bruv and dawn-from me mark and jamesxxxxxx When we have our christmas lunch we will raise a glass to you two and wish you well for the rest of your journey-bless you both with all our hearts.

Hi Jay and Dawn congrats on passing the diving thingy (hull talk) and the photo's are great. It looks like you're having a fantastic time and I'm soooooo jealous. Werever you end up spending xmas hope its one to remember, I'll look forward to following your adventures next year. Take care and enjoy. Love Julie xx

To Dawn and Jay - Have a very different but wonderful Xmas and New Year experience, can't wait to see what you've been up to over Xmas in the New Year!! Love Clare xx

Hi Jay & Dawn Have really enjoyed reading all your exploits so far - you lucky people (am I bovvered though?) Looking forward to much more next year. Only three weeks tomorrow before we hit Goa - can't wait - just have to get through the festive season?? As you would have expected I have a house full - every man and his dog turning up for Christmas dinner - what a shock they'd all get if I did spam and chips. Hope you both have a fab Christmas (as if). Stay safe. lol Sal xxxx
