ray and lesley Hi you 2 You have had a wonderful time and we are jealous of all the place s you have been, but it will be good to have you back where you belong in good old sunny hot ENGLAND. Will speak to you next week have a save journey home. Love R and L xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Laura & Mike Hi both, That certainly sounds wonderful! I wish I was on a yacht sailing round some uninhabited, beautiful islands, instead of stuck in the rain planning next week's lessons! Absolutely can't wait to catch up and see all your photos, hear all your tales next weekend! Lots of love - see u at the now infamous terminal 5!!! xxx

Sandra Not another miserable day in paradise? You two will probably not stop talking for 6 months when you get back. Fiji sounds wonderful and I agree with David, a real envy moment. I am planning a trip to NZ next year and am undecided where to go on my way back, I think it might just be Fiji. Although James told me that it rained a lot and that many visitors were disappointed because of that, but it does not seem to be your experience. Will look forward to picking your brains when you get home. Love Sandra

The better looking twin!! Hi Marion & Paul, Great pics as normal. I am trying to work out the difference between envy and jealousy. I think it is envy because I doubt that I will ever get to the places you have visited. I am sending out a bra for you Paul, size 32F that should do it! Not only is your car battery flat but also two tyres, but they are only flat at the bottom, not so bad. Took Julie to NY for her birthday, I tried to lose her in Macy's but she kept poping up with bags for me to carry. Take care, David

ray and lesley Hi you two do you think you are scooby-do in your camper van, shame about arsenal not being able to get a little cup!!!! New Zealand sounds brilliant and so glad you are enjoying yourselves cannot believe you have only about 4 weeks left and you will be home. We want more pictures, miss ya loads, love r and l xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Sandra Have been off-line for 3 weeks due to problems with AOL. Glad to hear that you are enjoying New Zealand, the only place that I still want to visit. Camper van, oh happy days. Had a lovely day with Andrew on Saturday. Good news about the euro rate, it stands at 80p at the moment. Only good if you have euros obviously!

Del & Sheila Hi Guys As always its brilliant to hear from you - Yeah we are about in June. Please phone us when you get home to arrange dates (as and don't be too shocked Christopher is finally visiting us for a few days in June). Keep the messages coming Take care - love to you both Del and Sheila xx

Shirley & Sarah Hi Marion & Paul Glad to see you are still having such an amazing time. We have had snow here and it's freezing cold. All the magnolia trees are in full flower, I keep thinking of your one in Potters Bar. Looking forward to all those photos, I fear I may need to take a week off to see them all!! Take care Love Shirley & Sarah xx

Sean Marion/Paul. Sorry it's taken so long to write, I'm sure that it is just pure jealousy on our part. It great to see that you are having such a good time.It must be one hell of an adventure and thanks for the post card from Sydney. Karen is in the process of building up the enthusiasm to cut your lawn !! Look forward to the next exciting update. Sean & Karen. P.S. Your car battery is flat... but do you care........???

Anne and Peter Hi Paul and Marion: We've been following your adventures and we are sure envious of the fun you have been having! (We' d like to see some pictures that are more recent than Feb 15 though.) Don't know if you have heard yet: Rachel and Arthur have a new son, Maxwell Aran Vigil, born March 22, 2008. You can see pictures of the little cutie here: http://maxwellaranvigil.blogspot.com/ Peter will be going to Denver in 2 weeks to continue work on Rach's house so he will see Max then. Take care, keep on truckin'!!! Anne (and Peter)

Sandra Hope you enjoy New Zealand and a let up in the hot weather. Lovely to talk to you Paul, it's nice to hear that you are both well. As you know David is running in the marathon for Great Ormond Street and could do with your support, all joking aside, it is a great achievement and he never gets the credit he deserves. I know that I could never have done it. Seeing Mum tomorrow and will take in your latest blog. Love to you both.
