I doubt many people, if anyone, is looking at this site now that I am home. But if you have come back then check out the poem that was written for me before I left, by a lady that I used to work with. I have added it as a postcard so you can find it under the UK. Enjoy! x

Thanks guys! Home sweet home!! Just to let you all know that the Bali photos will be on soon! x

Welcome home!

Hey! It sounds like your having a fab time! What an amazing experience... i cant wait to hear all your stories, from what youve written it sounds like you have done SO much stuff!! Have a brilliant time in Bali, you,me and Clare will need to catch up when you get home xxx

So, the adventure continues, and note you managed to get a mention in of yet another US Navy ship, even if it was on the seabed. Not to be outdone, your gran and I went to Portsmouth Harbour last week and watched a big US warship sailing out - just to show you don't have the monopoly on American sailors! Nobody bought us any drinks, though...
And here was me thinking you'd have a couple of weeks to relax & unwind after all the travelling - sounds like you're as busy as ever, but hey, might as well see and do as much as you can while you're there, as it might be a while before you're back again.
I'm just off to pick the wee man up from his last day at nursery - I'm going for the celebrity sunglasses look, to hide the fact that I'll be blubbing like a big girl's blouse. Given that I've already been in tears just making his thank you card for the 'teachers', my reputation as a hard faced mooey is in tatters.
Enjoy the rest of the trip, look forward to hearing from you when you get back.
Big hugs from the McCallums xx

Hi babe, glad you are having a good time. Sorry I haven't written sooner, just recieved your link-up from Sheryl cos my e-mail address has expired. Looking forward to seeing you when you get home and hearing all your news first hand. PS. Dylan is walking!

Yay, managed to find an internet place with broadband so have added a couple of postcards - should keep you occupied for a good while! :0) x

Hey everyone!! This is the first internet we have managed to get in Bali and the connection is sooo slow so no time for a postcard or photos! :0(
We are having such an amazing time here in Bali! Our first accomodation, Lumbung Damuh in Buitan Beach, was so gorgeous! The people are amazing and will do anything for you! We have done lots of shopping - I can't believe how much money I have spent already in such a cheap place! We have been to the biggest temple in Bali and many other amazing places and we have even been diving! It was absolutely amazing, although a bit scary at first! We went over 18metres underwater to see the WWII wreck of US Liberty at Tulamben!
This morning I woke up and had a massage and body scrub before leaving to come to Sanur - what a life!
We have 3 nights here in Sanur and then 3 more in Kuta, which is the liveliest part of Bali so may actually come home cream crackered!! ;0)
Kerry, Happy Birthday to you and I hope you have a fantastic party! I wish I could be there but I am sure I will hear all about it when I get back!
Lisa, wish you were here, you would absolutely love the place! Maybe next year, eh!?!? :0)
Anyway folks, the sun is shining so I better get out there! See you all soon xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Well done for surviving Oz Laura and telling us such great tales.I can't wait to hear more once you are home.
Have a ball in Bali -you deserve it.
lots of love

Hey wee laura,
can't believe your adventure is coming to an end.It looks like you have had a complete ball and I have loved reading all your capers on this site. Glad to see someone else has friends as mad as mine! By the time you read this message you will probably be home and I will already be an old 30 year old! What a depressing thought! Shame you just miss the party but dont worry we will all have a drink for you. Take care babe, enjoy Bali and see you when you come home.Luv Kes x

Hi Laura

Well the Aus bit is at an end, seems like it was an adventure and a half for you, really glad you done it, but so glad you are coming home soon, I am sure you will bore the ar*e off me with your stories but so looking forward to them. Bali should be a breeze for you now, enjoy it and chill out for the next 2 weeks. Will really try and get your room finished once the lodgers move out, fingers crossed. If not will clear the garage out for you. Enjoy your last 2 weeks and see you soon. Lol Willie xxx
