Kirsty Watt Thanks Fiona! You would have loved the race! Can't wait to see you in the summer -not long now!x

Fiona Love your updates Kirsty, you write so beautifully about your travels I feel as if I am there too !

Julie loving your descriptions of Costa Rica ... an incredible waterfall, so close to the ocean...like something out of a film set! Your description of your dinner is making my mouth water! Enjoy xx

Julie Wow what an incredible couple of days! Sloth, rainforest, sunset, stunning beaches, tacos and gelato .. amazing to read about, thanks for sharing xxx

Simon Dodding Great stuff Kirsty! Looking forward to hearing about Panama! Stay well lady and have fun! Best wishes Simon.

Uncle-in-law All about your stomach young niece-in-law

Julie D Sounds delicious, I have wonderful images in my head :-)

Rebecca Smith Hi Kirsty, I read your food blog just after I'd had my dinner but I'm wanting to try some of the Costa Rican delights! I was not surprised that your first blog would be about food! :-) Becky x

Lisa Lamont Hi Kirsty! Great to read about your adventures so far. Top marks for your writing style from your old English teacher. We'll not worry about the odd homophone, as the descriptions are brilliant and you're using punctuation effectively (your dad put me up to that) ;-) Looking forward the next installment. Buena suerte! Lisa x

Janie Weeks I travel a lot too! I like your accounts. You are my kind of traveling partner.

Dad Nice, but I remain to be convinced that 'crossing over to the other side' is for me. Keep trying with you vivid descriptions and you never know!

Mum What an amazing day! Thankyou for taking the time to write such a vivid description. I felt I was there sharing the day with you. I don't think I'd be very good in that heat. We have snow on the ground today. Lots of love from Mumxx

Simon dodding Fantastic! So good to see and read what you are doing and how you are feeling about the whole thing. Seriously think about writing a book, your powers of description are wonderful, many will be interested in the full story! Stay well and keep it coming!! Best wishes Simon.
