Mom and Austin Love reading the updates - although episode at the airport security sounds a bit scary (the mind can only boggle at what you had in your bags that took on that appearance!) Enjoy and let us know when you are back in Oz. Love Mom amd Austin xx

Anthony & Siobhan Happy Birthday Carl. Sounds like your having a wicked time, your have to wait for all gifts etc, as I have an issue postal offices. Take it easy, and keep living the dream. ALso there is some awesome thing out there you can do, where you sit in a rubber ring travelling down a river, and every so often someone pulls you into the river bank and you can buy a beer from there bar. It looks wicked!! Remember don't point with your feet its offensive!!

SUE AND STEVE A birthday and a New Year in one weekend!! Have a really good birthday, and the experience of a Chinese New Year must be brilliant. Keep Enjoying! Sue, Steve, Joanna and Naomi XX

Jeff Happy Birthday Mate. We'll put a nice cold one behind the bar for you when you return!!!! Jeff & Cindy xx

Lou Hi you two, Vietnam sounds fantastic! Great news Carl on the Job, Amanda you old trout, how dare you live out there, what's wrong with Wrexham! Enjoy guys, speak soon xxx

Mum and Phil Hi Carl and Amanda, Sounds like you are having a great time but it doesn't seem like Amanda is looking after you too well with all the accidents you're having!! We've found even more great things to do in Melbourne when you arrive - only 3 weeks away now. Hope you are managing to see the footy - we're top of the league again, for now anyway. Enjoy the rest of your trip - see you on the 13th Feb. Mum and Phil xxx PS-Let me have an idea of what you would like for your birthday.

Kathie Hiya! Sounds as if you are having a marvellous time! Talk about moving around the globe. It all sounds wonderful and you are clearly having a great time. Certainly enjoy the warm weather as it is freezing here. What is this about moving to Melbourne?!! Was that a NY's laff?!?! Andrew Smith has just moved back to the UK so you missed him. ANyway continue to enjoy the world - Love Kathie

Mom and Austin Hi both, glad you enjoyed Fraser Island and Noosa - we are so envious, seems not so long ago when we were heading up Rainbow beach ourselves - its quite bizarre! Have a fabulous Christmas even though Christmas decorations might be a bit thin on the ground! Will speak on Christmas Day. Lots of love, xxxxxxxxxxx

Jeff Dear Carl & Amanda Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy Newe Year. With Love Cindy & Jeff xx

Matt Mand, dont know quite how to tell you this but there are pictures of Carl on the net with a French model in Australia!!! Greetings from Bratislava. May your luggage vibrate throughout 2009. Mary Christmas sends her greetings. It is snowy here and looks like a city size version of Tottenham. With a good Xmas market. Dobry den !! Tel xxx

Jeff Hi Guys, Just thought I'd say a quick hello from a very cold Tower Hamlets!!! Carl, Man U had a 0-0 draw at Villa over the weekend, which leaves them 3rd in table and 8pts behind Chelsea, but I'm guessing you must know this already as I cannot beleive you would go weeks without knowing their scores!!! Amanda, hello xx Pleased to hear you are still having a great time, and look forward to when you return. Have fun guys and love from Cinds xx

evelyn forde Hi guys, I now have access to this site and what a fantastic idea! Wow what a fun time your having, I am so jealous of all the wonderful places you have visited especially as we woke up to snow this morning. I have been scouring the internet for cheap hols this easter and a fab one in the summer so I will continue to tune in to your blogs! Can't wait to see you Ms.Mckay/Sides, looking forward to sharing may bottles of vino with you. Lots of love always Evelyn

The other soeur Hello to you both! (I only saw this website yesterday! Not sure if you emailed before but I have a feeling I thought it was junk mail so deleted it!) Well it sure is not junk.. your trip sounds brilliant and we are so pleased you are having a fab time! Makes us want to pack our bags and go travelling. Fiji is brilliant isn't it? Well worth the journey to get there. Glad you are both still on track with the travel plan and keep us posted! Love the blogs. Keep em coming Love Dil and Jop xxx
