Hello you two, we are both so so so so jealous we were looking at your photos and it looks like you r having a great time. We wish u both a belated MERRY CHRISTMAS and an early HAPPY NEW YEAR. We want 2 deliver the yellow pages it looks like fun.

Happy Christmas to you all. We have just had a glass of home made mulled wine with a kick in it. Jenson is really excited this year about Santa coming. By the look of the Christmas trees he will be opening presents till teatime. Marjorie and Eric send their love and good wishes for Xmas. Oh! I must give you this message from Joyce which came with your birthday card .

Dear Courtney, Great news about the engagement. Glad you were listening to your dad on 5/5/05 and are going to give him beautiful Laura as another daughter. Looking forward to a video or DVD. Have a great time in Australia, hope you don't get married there. Love to you both from Joyce.

Your Dad and Aaron are steadily getting into the spirit of Christmas so I better get back to the kitchen if I am going to get any work out of them. See and have a terrific day, we will be looking forward to hearing from you. The photos are brill. I like the refueling one, moments like that make good holiday memories and give you a laugh (maybe not at the time).

Love and Happy Christmas wishes. Mum and Dad. xxxxxx

How funny! Lisa told me there were new snaps on here of your camping trip to the outback. So I logged on and looked...and looked... But no tents held up with string, no queues at the toilet block, no shots of people sitting with faces like fiddles. Lisa must've got it wrong.

But hang on...wait a minute...is that articulated juggernaut anything to do with your weekend away? Surely not. That's just a quick photo of a passing circus. That big white thing must contain the elephants.

Oh, I get it now... Camping my a*se! What was in that truck? Drop-down sun deck, jacuzzi, sauna cabin, nail bar, massage suite...

We're all jealous here. You look like you're having a great time. And aren't you sorry you're missing all the fun here? People cutting the tripe out of each other at Woolco for a parking space or the last turkey breast. You're well out of it. Plus, I've got the cold from hell.

June says...I enjoyed looking at your latest photos and envy you the sunshine. Shopping here as if there's no tomorrow. Newry is full of people from the south. You all look happy and healthy. Looking forward to more snaps.

Take care, Andrew and June xxx

Hi you two,

G'day to you both

Love the new photos and the dots on the map so we can see where and when you are heading.Just so anyone looking knows- click on the map and then on the dots and it will tell you when they expect to be in that place.

Keep delivering those yellow pages - we need lots of spending money when we arrive - there's a credit crunch on you know.

Not long now!

Love Mum and Dad xxx
