Hi Eric - didn't get to attend your leaving do as I was in Cornwall, but wanted to say goodbye. I'll be checking your website regularly to see all the exotic and sometimes not so exotic places you've been to.

Health and happiness always to you both!

With love from Jan XX

By the time you read this you will officially be out of the country, and well on your way. Hannah has been asking all day if she can go and see "Margit and Eric". We told her you were on holiday - she asked if she could see you tomorrow and when we told her no she asked "next week?" She eventually settled on" Soon.?".........

She was happy tonight though as she got to eat the last bit of your leaving cake, with the photo of your head on Eric!!!!

We are gonna be missed loads by lots of people.

Take Care of yourselves

After all the months of planning you are now off on your big adventure. (Phew!!!). The last couple of weeks have been great fun, sharing your excitement and moments of panic. Have an absolutely super time: looking forward to all the photos etc. Just one final toast "BON VOYAGE"

Love Jim and Pam xx

Dear Eric and Margaret

Will be thinking of you Thursday. Good luck to you both.

p.s. I will post the name of that group within the next few days

Best regards

Mike

Eric

Didn't get to speak to you on your last day at work. Hope you both have a wondeful time and it's everything you expect it to be. Very best wishes

Paul

PS you know where I am if you need a bed for the night in North Yorkshire.

Hello Maggie - You havent gone and already I am posting a message. Anyway i would just like to say once again a big THANK YOU for all you have done through the good times and bad. You have always been nice and helped me out. So doing the work that i did was never a problem - besides that's what I am there for. All I ever aim to do in life is to make people happy and get along as best I can with people so I hope I achieved that. You have been a real assest to the team and the division!

You will both no doubt take away with you a lot of good memories - use those to encourage you to keep going on your quest.

Today was the 1st time i had met Eric even though i speak to him on the phone a lot. He's a really nice guy and a real character. You are blessed to be married to him. :)

Please look after each other and travel safely and when you get back it would be nice to meet up with you so I will keep in touch and will post messages on here of course.

Take care and best wishes to both of you!!!!!!!!!

Had a lovely hangover after your night out. You shouldn'y have forced all that Deuchars down my throat. I beleive they are looking for golf professionals in Irkutsk, especially if they have experience of playing at Ravelston ! Hope you made it to Montrose for pints with Mr Paton. Remember we're meeting in Buenos Aires in March 2008.

Brilliant to see you both at the weekend we had SUCH a good time and can't wait to see the photos (again)!! Did you ever find your Oddfellows Margaret? Enjoy the rest of your farewell tour and your last week at work. Can't wait to read all about your travels on this website and who knows, we may even catch up with you in Alaska..... Lots of love, Ashley and Graeme xxxx
ps - 'Hello' to Ron, Dot, Susan, Bruce, Craig, Cameron, Steven, Sarah, Jessica and Elliott xxx

Glad to hear about your trip. It sounds amazing, and we're sure you'll have a great experience. Obviously, we're excited for the American portion of the trip (whenever that turns out to be). However, I (Tom) also wanted to let you know that I travel to China every couple of months now for work. It's a longshot, but if you're going to be in the Shanghai or Hong Kong area, please send me an email ([email protected]), and I'll make every effort to find you. Have fun.

Look forward to seeing you both in a couple of weeks before you set off on your travels. Good luck and have fun- we will be following your voyage on the website.

Thanks for all the info in your letter. Looking forward to reading more as the journey unfolds. Hope to see you in December if we can organise to cross paths in Cambodia.

Found your website at last. We are really looking forward to seeing you on the 16th August for a real Aberdeen send off.
