Hi, Jo

Poor you with the bed bugs - reminds me of a trip I did to Ethiopia in the 60's - only that was fleas! Still you would expect better in Oz in 2004! Glad to see you got over your cold and that the diving was worth the trouble. Have fun - do you have a phone number I could call on your birthday - alternatively, Happy Birthday for next Friday and we'll celebrate properly when you get home.

Love, Mum

Jo,

We lost you for a couple of months. Sorry. Accessed the Offexploring.com Home page this morning, and recognized your photo immediately. A celebrity! And, your travels and adventures just keep happening. Boy, Washington, DC seems calm compared to your experiences. Enjoy the Aussies; they are fun folk. Love, the Morrises

Hey Jo,

Looks like you've done loads since we saw you last(Quito I think!!). Sorry we missed you in Cusco but you know Cusco, although I cannot believe we didn't bump into each other!! I only found this as I was bored a had a look at random websites and saw your name come up!! Our user name is Zippy and we're just putting our Brazil photos up! We're now in Melbourne at my sisters relaxing and enjoying having a wardrobe again. Get in touch and let us know how you are!!

Take care

Matt & Helen

Dear Jo and Derek
How's Derek enjoying sleeping in a camper van. What is it like travelling around in a van? Sophie's grandad has a van and she has been in it. It was very comfortable. Our classroom is still out of use so we are having to use a different one.We will have to have a new carpet. We had more snow. It was great fun. Do you enjoy sky diving? What did you enjoy the most about sky diving? I hope you like bungy jumping, did you have a go? Is it cold or hot at the moment? How many different kinds of foods have you tasted? What is your favourite? Are you going to Australia next? Have you seen any castles?
We wrote this together. We hope you are having a great time. All our best wishes. 3S xxxx
