Sarah Hope you have a good flight home Emily! Can't wait to see you soon. Maybe on Christmas eve if you're not too busy with family or too jet lagged?xx

James Wow, sounds amazing. Do a boat trip around the bay of islands if you can. We saw flying fish, dolphins and all sorts. Umm, that's about it I think, maybe see you for a welcome home drink on christmas eve?

Sarah Hi Emily, I hope you're enjoying your trip! Where are you now? You don't update your blog nearly enough for my liking, it leads me to believe you are having so much fun that you don't have time to sit down and do your homework, tut tut!!xx

Katie Hey Emily, Your trip so far sounds amazing........ I love the stories of the different people you have met. You are definately making the most of the trip and seeing so much. Can't wait to read the next installment of your advetures.... I never made it to the west coast so am really interested in hearing about this part of OZ. Keep safe and enjoy. Katie xx p.s. James say Hi too

Cathryn Hey emily!! Finally got internet at my new gaff with Mr Happy in hants!!! SO - got to have a peek at your pics. Brings back so many memories of Oz 05/06 which has brought a smile to my flu ridden face...loving new life and job but the winter is mega depressing and I just wanna hibernate :) Had a great half term last week - saw Sarah in Chipping Sodbury for her birthday and went to Leeds, the Lakes and Plym. Saw Mad Dog in Plym which made me think of you!! Have to organise a big weekend when you get back here or at Sarah's - obviously need a Plymouth do around Xmas to celebrate your safe return. CAN'T WAIT to see you. Have missed being able to chat to you and can't wait to catch up. Great to see you enjoying yourself - well deserved. Lots of Love xxx Cath

Simon 'the brother' Aright Chav. Mum and dad have come up to visit Dina, Sabian, Daniel and I for Halloween... I mean mums birthday, MWAHAHAHAAA.... Missin you loads. I guess I should give you some good advice... but knowng me it might get you killed. O_o Hope you are having the time of your life. Simon X

Sarah That hostel you thought was bad looked like a palace compared to what we stayed in when we were in Sydney! Bondi Beach looked amazing in the sun, it was raining when I saw it! Loved your aboriginal get up and the fairy wings!! Enjoy the Whitsundays. We miss you lots xx

Sarah and James Hi Emily, hope you had a good flight to Sydney and that it's not too dusty there. Lots of lovely pictures of wildlife, the squirrel is the cutest! Really love reading your blogs, looking forward to the next one!xx

Jackie Hi Emily!!! We miss you already. We figure you landed in Australia a few hours ago. Hope your flight was good. We really enjoyed having you stay with us, and can't wait for you to come back for another visit. We will be following your adventures on your blog! Have fun, take care!! -Love, Jackie, Perry, Scott, Melissa, Wendall, Barney, & Chloe

Becky Emily! Gosh I miss you! Hope you're having a great time! California certainly seemed awesome from your blog! So glad you got to see whales, they truely are amazing ey. I loved watching them in South Africa. We also had to wait a while to catch them but once we saw them they seemed to stay with us for a while! Funny thing was, we weren't even looking for whales we were looking for sharks so we were very lucky! Can't believe you managed to get kicked out of the shops! That's an achievement in itself lol! What's the shopping like out there? Brilliant i'm guessing :) Those sea otters are soooo cute! Also very switched on, wrapping themselves up in kelp order to float, High Five otters!! lol Can't wait to hear more of what you're up to, keep in touch and stay safe! xxxxxx

Sarah Hi Emily! I hope you had a good flight to LA - did the noise reducing headphones come in handy when watching the in-flight entertainment?! How's the jet lag? Looking forward to hearing what you're up to!!xx
