Hi Katherine glad you are having it so ruff - keeping up to date with your wonderful travels, hope no more incidents with the wildlife. Hoping to go to Brazil next year just got out the brochure and looking at a extra tour to Rio and Iguassu Falls and reading your E-Mail it does sound fantastic. We are off to Cuba 2 weeks on Monday so will hopefully be able to send you some photos of our hols when we get back. Where is your next port of call? somewhere exoctic I expect.Just going up to Sally and Johns for dinner - Lucy gone to see Razorlite in Sheffield.
Look after yourselves and take care lots of luv

getting the hang of this computer malarky.
might try again soon,
loved photos

Hello

Apologies about the phone situation, seems we´ve been sold some duff contraption.

Only certain numbers can text me, so apologies if anyone has and I have ignored you, it just means it did not arrive.

Off to Easter Island tomorrow. Have no signal there or in Santiago where I am for the night. Will be at the payphones next week when Im back in Santiago.

Camera dates and times duly noted. Aftçraid of touching it incase I delete pictures. You know technology is not my strong point!

Will chat soon

Katherine

Hello sister dearest, it looks and sounds like you are having a auperb time so far!!! Apart rom the bus toilet antics - only you could do end up doing that!!!!!

I have persuaded the 'parental unit' to sign up for broadband and as I type they should be in the process of ordering it (Mum / Dad, if you are reading this and haven't already - GET IT SORTED!!!!!! :) :) . Once they have enbraced this new technology they will be able to see you photos without having to make a cuppa while they wait for them to load!!!

I have tried to text and call to see how you are getting on but only get voice mail and no reply - can you email me your number / call me off it, to make sure i have the right one please?

Take care - speak later,

Dan.

Thanks for the message Marg! Nice to hear from you! Maybe this time next year we will tread the boards again!

Mrs Minky is fast becoming a minor celebrity on this message board! Brilliant! Keep them coming!

Alan Bennett (and there is only 1), mission accepted. Will update you in due course...

Hi Katherine
Who'd have have thought I would be talking to you long distance like this. Good for you girl having the guts to go out there and do it! I'm not doing the amdram this time - a bit too busy to fit it in. I guess the same goes for you too! Let me know what it's like when you get out into the Pacific. I'm at Mary & Rich's looking at their holiday photos ( including your mum the worse for drink!) and now I've had a look at your's too. I wish I was on a 9 month break. Enjoy yourself and I will now keep track of you.

Love Marg

Hey KS.

Your mission whether you choose to accept it is to get a picture of a man with a beard. Just an easy one to start with. And a picture of a topless women for a bonus point. Send the second one to my e-mail-thank you.

Sorry for being rude Mrs Minky.

Thanks for the vodka advice, must first learn the Spanish for ´with lime and lemondae please costas.´

As for the naked men, I will endeavour to find some and get them to you pronto.

And as for the missions, set the challenge and I will oblige. As ever!

Kathy xxxx

Smith,

I am not very happy as i am yet to recieve ANY postcards of naked men from around the world.

Also not impressed with the lack of Missions on this so called holiday of yours. Just remember that you have to keep the team alive even if you're not in the UK.

Miss ya lots. Anor x

Problems with nature must run in the family - I was attacked by a wolf (well, a really large alsation) in Parga. Luckily your dad managed to send him back from whence he came whilst I hid behind a large bush!
Everything sounds great up to now and hope that now you're on your own things will be just as good. Tried to reply to your text but expect it didn't get through again.
Three postcards have come through - one appears to be missing from Cococabana/Brazil.
Look forward to the next update - I expect we will speak soon on the phone.

PS - Thanks for spreading the word Tanky!
