Hi Darren and Kirsty. Glad to hear you made it back to Bangkok in one piece! The bus journey sounded a bit scary! Not sure if you'll be checking your messages again before you head of to the airport. You'll probabley be too busy getting everything organised and enjoying your last evening before the long haul back home. Take it your on different flights back up from Heathrow. I'll be at the airport to collect you, Darren. Just give me a quick phone or text when you land and I'll get there by the time you retreive your bags. Mind and let me know when you get into Heathrow too, which if I remember should be after 7 tomorrow morning. Anyway, enjoy your last night in Bangkok and I'll see you tomorrow. Take care and a safe journey home. Love Mandy (Mum) xxx

Whatever you choose I hope you have a ball dude! I'm back in Delhi after a jaunt up to Kashmir...not sure if you know what's going on there, but it has its troubles, although I am still alive =D Obviously too precious to go yet =P I'll be home in less than 2 weeks, and you probably something similar, tooo exciting isn't it?! I'll right ya a huge email then, and get round to reading your ever-hilarious postcards from Kirstys Big Adventure! Much love, Sarah x x x

Arrived safely in Bangkok for the second time after suffering rediculous departure taxes at the airport in Cambodia- grr. Rough nights sleep due to wafer thin walls in the hostel we're staying in- constant cuffuffle in the hallways making lotsa noise, but ah well, only a few more nights to bare it! Gona deticate today to some hardcore blogage so that I can attempt to get up to date asap. Still need to get my scarpbook done as well- so here goes!! xx

Kirsty and Darren now on their way back to Bangkok, have had a fab time in Cambodia
Mum
Glad to hear you survived the big bus journey. TOO much info re the laundry situation!
Darren
Hey we werent going to get the bus but everyone we spoke to assured us it was "part of the experience". K, been there done it and not doing it again were flying out of Cambodia!!! sáll good though I did infact get about 2 minutes sleep so everythings fine! Got to do laundry its true what kirsty said about the underwear situation n Ive none left either due mine being worn by both of us for the past week, unfortunately Im not that way inclinded to share Kirstys. anyway off to find a laundrette!xxx

Arrived O.K-ish in Siem Reap, Cambodia, only 4 hours later than scheduled! The craziest bus journey I've ever taken- and my neck is pretty sore to prove the bumpiness! Would've loved to take a photo of the road- but my camera would more than likely have gotten smashed up! Poor Darren got a face full of mud twice along the way and I was sat next to the mental driver, not knowing if my leg was constantly jolting against him or the gear-stick. Nasty. Thinking this must be the poorest country I've been to yet, but Siem Reap is all built up for tourists so it's the bad mix of rediculous prices compared to the rest of the country- and lots of begging. Ankor Wat should be amazing tho- heading there tomorrow. Going to try to find somewhere to get laundry done now since I ran out of clean underwear about 5 days ago! xx
Kirsty D
Aw thanks guys. And Susy- yes indeed was an emotional final day! Darren and I are just getting ourselves sorted to move off on our travels again. We're off to Cambodia tomorrow to check out Ankor Wat. Should be exciting! Just put some more pics up of Sabah that I didn't get round to puting up earlier. Enjoy. there's more to come. xx

Hi guys. Glad to hear you've upgraded youraccomadation. The other one sounded a trifle dodgy. 5 star eh! If you're going to do it, do it in style lol. Can't wait to read you're latest "blog". Take care and let us know where you're next port of call is whether its Cambodia or elsewhere.
Thanks Fiona for the message. Its a Mums job to worry even when we have such mature and sensible (?) kids !
Love Mandy (Mum) xxx

Yoo hoo. So sorry not to have been in touch for so long, but I have a new computer and all my old links were gone. I had supper with Rosie last night hand she sent me your web-site this morning. Anyway I have had so much to catch up with and have only finished the postcards at the school. I was nearly in tears at the last one. Anyway I hope all is well with the travels. CANT WAIT to see you.
