Hi Steve Darling! I love your site and sooo thrilled to be able to keep abreast of your travel stories.... will keep checking for updates. Can't wait to see you in my neck of the woods as SOON as you can manage to be here. Love and miss you as always, Jude x

Hello Steve!
So pleased that the encounter with the wierdo in the hostel didn't put you off - not the best of starts to the trip! Can't wait to see your photos - I am hoping that they will inspire me to book my hols as I am desperate to escape to somewhere beautiful & hot for an adventure.
Keep writing & take care - Bec x

Hi Steve
Mike said you were having problems with the size of your photo's ,and up loading them to this site. What I would do is keep burning them onto cd'd to send home, and with regards to updating the site. I recommend taking differant quality shots just for this website. I would expect top quality shots from your camera to be in the 2.5 meg region, so if you take sepcific photos for the site on low quality they should be less than a meg, which will make it alot easier to upload. For me to upload a 126 meg file at home would take a long time (4 hours, with broadband), so to upload a flash card the same size, it is gonna take the same time. What might be a good idea, is to buy a 50gig harddrive and external casing and just bang everything on there. I know you can get some small configurations now there days. I hope the above is some help as I know you are a techno heed yourself. Catch ya later.

Stevie hi,
How are you doing?!New York New York the city that never sleeps!!

Hi fruit, Hostel stories are always the best, brings out the madness in people, as I have not been to the Big Apple yet, (big hints to hubby though for this year) so I shall not be recommending places to see or eat in, but somewhere along your travels i shall throw in some handy hints. Enjoy your mamoth bus journey to Torono love, I wait in anticipation for your next installment, love me xx

Hi Steve
Soooo jealous you're in NYC ! I know you've been there before so probably don't need any top tips but just in case this is a new one for you .... go for a Patsy Grimaldi's pizza if you get the chance (Old Fulton St - almost under Brooklyn Bridge, Brooklyn side) Best pizza I've ever had !!Looking forward to hearing more
Love from
Carolyn

Hey Steve,

Just had a trawl through your site - how wonderful.

Glad that you've had fun cheking out NYC. Isn't it a crazy, fabulous place. The whole accomodation thing sounded a bit scary - glad you made it out alive - lol.

Have a blast in Toronto. I have many happy memories of the times that I've spent there and have no doubt that you'll love it. Check out a club called 'The Fly' if you can. Very friendly and tons of fun.

I'll keep checking out your site - I love things like this. Youll have to let me know where you plan to be over the next few weeks. I'm gonna be in LA and Hong Kong over he coming weeks so, you never know, we may be able to meet up for a cosmo or a sake!!

Take care whilst you're out there in the big world. Can't wait for the next instalment and especially those photos.

Catch up with you soon you lucky thing x

Cheers Amanda. It's nice to be missed. Just save all your washing up and I'll do it at Christmas when I come home!! You may have to wash your dirty knickers in the meantime though, they won't keep!! Sx

Hi Stephen,
I know you have only been gone a few days and already I am missing you like mad. Who is going to do my shopping and washing up now? Hope you are having fun and keeping safe. Take care sweetie. xxxxxxxx
