Al Hello! Can't believe how soon you guys come back! Hows Vancouver? Good to see bro? Whats the plan for the last few days of travels? What date is it that you get back? So many questions! xxx

Aline Hey peeps! I'm hoping for some NZ pics before you move on again!! Are you enjoying it? Where have you been so far? xx

Aline Awww! Your last wee blog was lovely! I was filling up!! You are both going to love NZ though, just enjoy the holiday - you've certainly earned it after putting up with teaching for so long! Can't believe how long it is that you've been away! I'm looking forward to hearing about the next few stages of the journey and am SSSOOOO looking forward to seeing you when you return!! I'm working on 2 essays just now (which has been fun considering everything that has happened in the past week!) so really need to get back to work! Big hugs to you both, Al.x.x.x

aunty maureen Hi Just back fron Sydney had a very busy week at the conferance there but managed a bit of sightseeing Not long till i fly home for Christmas . Have got myself a dog have called him Hamish He is so cute. Have a busy weekend coming up Party on saturday and about 18 of us are meeting up for lunch on sunday Glad you enjoyed your last trip Hope to hear from you both soon Love Aunty Maureen x

Me Again!! Hey guys! How are you both? I was at a Paolo Nutini gig last night, was pretty good! The lead singer from The View made a wee guest appearance which was cool. Best of all I got my ticket for free coz my mate Sarah's husband couldn't make it so I got his ticket!! Just thought I'd let you know that!! xxxx

Numero Uno Taz-a-taz-mania looks gorgeous! I reckon you'll both love NZ as a few of the pics reminded me of it. I love that you met a duthman with a pet alpaca and that you added the pic as though that happened all the time... Sounds like you had a fantastic time! I'm very jealous! My day today was spent with a doctors appointment, a haircut, visiting Iain's gran and now watching Murder She Wrote!! Not quite as exciting as your hols!! Did you get the e-mail of the 2 dresses I've seen? I need feedback! Talk soon, big love to you both, Al xxx
