Hiya hun!!!

Sounds and looks like your having a great time; the beard is just something else!!! Think your making everyone very jealous!! Not much has been happening in the world of la not that im there much these days but all seems well. Update on uni; not going too well but am still standing strong, have got myself a tattoo yay!!!

Glad your enjoying yourself!! Take care.
Love megs x x x x x x

Merry Christmas u2, make sure u2 have the Best Xmas & get on them Sangsom Buckets for me! So your going 2b on East Side for xmas then, enjoy that & your diving should be amazing just remember 2 check the water visability before you book as a friend of mine did it there and only had 2m Vis & is pointless diving with those conditions!! I had about 22m when i dived of Phi Phi... Its worth waiting 4.!! Stay safe & watch your backs at the Full Moon parties, some locals will try on the scams & alot of drugs going round (The one's you wouldn't choose 2 take) sawat-dee!! x x x

Thanks for adding me to your travel blog thingy... looks like u guys are having an amazing time and living the dream... im loving the inclusion of Yahztee! to the photos!!

The Beard is making u look more and more like Shane Ward... Watch out for any crazy fans!!

Big love to Tim... my head is nearly healed!

Stay safe xx

Hi Matt,

You're Nans doing well so don't worry, it sounds like you have been to some dangerous places that don't serve alcohol....not sure I would survive, have a great christmas and New year keep safe

Love from the Lee's!
