Jenn Hey there you guys!! Not long til it's home time, will be wicked to see you little brown berries, and must have a good catch up...hope there are lots of photos to show, travel safely, Jenn

Mum Hey, T, What about an update!!! Nothing since New Zealand. I guess USA is getting a bit more down to earth - a staging point for return to UK. Hope you enjoyed LA and time with big bro and Manuela. Did you go to San Diego. Bad luck about the Grand Canyon or did someone manage to pull something out of the bag. We are all waiting with baited breath to hear your latest adventures. Take care. Lots of love. Mum

Averil Dearest T, I expect you are on your way now to California; wish I were with you. Give my love to John and his new bride. I'm just collecting my things for my holiday in Greece, so maybe see you early June if you are home then. Your PC of the caves arrived this morning - you are fantastically brave doing all that stuff, it would frighten me to death. And can you imagine what Gran would have said!! I hope you will be able to come and see Catherine and Alex when you get back. She is so sweet at just 2 she is putting sentences together and it is intriguing to witness the development of language with no knowledge of or recourse to the written word. Absolutely enchanting! Alex is so active he nearly drives you mad, but again, it's good that he's so bright. Currently everything he eats he wants to analyse into food groups, vitamin content and diseases that are warded off! Must go or Library will log me off shortly. God Bless. Love Av X

Fern Hey chick!! im so jealous your still travelling the world. Hope the weather in Fiji is kind to you, rained evry day non stop whilst I was there!! So much for topping up the tan before coming home. Yeah, fiji is pretty expensive. Theres an island on the nort called nananu i ri, near rakki rakki, which is cheap and beautiful. the Yasawas are meant to be incredible but the wallet wouldnt stretch that far for me! Instead went to Mana island, in the Manacua (or something) group. It was nice there, and cheapER than the Yasawas too! Dont waste anytime travelling the mainland, its not much. If your anything like me, Ive become a snob withbeautiful beaches etc, Ive seen so many now that my standards are so high! Just in case you need reminding, COMING HOME SUCKS!!!!! Nothings changed apart from the amount of debt I have (so worth it though). My number fro when you arrive home is 07900 926583 dont hesitate to call. Living in London now (found a bargain flat on Great Portland Street) so party round mine yeah?!!!! Stay cool and take care sweetie, Fern XXXXXXXXXX love to Fleaur X

Jim Hey t, hows things. Hope your looking after my sister and yourself. By the sounds of things your really enjoying yourself. Bit boring back here, have met a lovely girly tho. Six foot shes a stunner. Hopefully if i can keep her you will meet her. Cant wait till you and Fleur get back with all the goss and photos. Anyway better get back to work. Hope your well and having a blast all my love Jimmy

Ruth Hello T Just been looking at your pics. Find it quite wierd that you are on the other side of the world and that we're here, still doing normal day to day things! The Koalas are so cute! Hope you're still having loads of fun. Miss you!! xx

Tom New Zealand looks amazing and can't believe how brave/mad you are jumping out of a plane xx

PD Wow - what an little action girl ! Congratulation to your first free fall parashute jump - sounds fantastic, and i stunt i never did myself !! Bunji jump next..... Make sure you put the pictures on your web site. sounds brilliant xxx PD (i am just going to show a print out of your message to Mum - just have to wait until she is sitting down, otherwise she falls over !)

Averil Dearest T - I really can relate to your Bay of Islands note, as I was there about 8 years ago, and went to visit the same Maori meeting house and governor's residence, which struck me just the same as it did you! I also saw the giant tree - forgot the name! - said to be the oldest in the country, a sapling at the time Christ walked the Earth. Truly awe-inspiring. I shall be sorry to miss John's wedding - I will be crewing in Greece at the time. Hope it all goes well. My love to all. Not much happening here, we're trying to get Jane back on her feet again as the children have been such a drain over the years. James is now into smearing his poo over the TV set, into the video and over the radiator and window (if he gets a chance). Love Av x

Ruth Hello honey So good to hear from you and that your adventures are continuing! How's NZ? Say hi to my family out there for me! Bear and Badger send their love, although Badger keeps on trying to run away. Think he's trying to find you! He's still the same size, Bear is about 5 times the size of him now!! I can't believe how quickly time has flown. Thank you so much for the email, will let you know how I go!!! Love me xxx

Lex I cant believe your trip - talk about perfect?!! I am so happy that you are seeing Oz in its best light - as my Mum would say, God's own country. Mum is here at the moment & its amazing to see her. we went to Prague for 5 days last week, which was just amazing, and would you believe it T...I am in training to do a 10 km run in a few weeks. Not sure this is sensible! Otherwise nothing changes, it is freeezing again, raining and quite frankly I would do anything to be flying down those dunes at Lake Wabi all over again... Take care cherub xx

JUlia Hope Ages since I left a message and I did not know about the passport! All good experience for young ladies. We have recently returned from a trip to Vancouver and Vancouver Island. Very attractive part of the world and because of the history and the climate, SO English.There is a large population of asians so we indulged ourselves in Sushi , Chinese and Thai food. We leave Naples on Sunday [10th] and will stay in Evesham until 15th when we go to Cyprus. It will be good to see Amanda and co. and catch up with a few others if it is not too cold! Enjoy Aukland. Love Julia

PD Hi T, i love your adventure stories - especially your encounbter with the pythom when you were told to step back a little ! i was at Cape Tribulation in Feb 1991, the day the first Gulf war broke out. and can you believe it - in the middle of the jungle next to Crocodile Creek (and yes the Creek was full of crocodiles !!) the had a TV in a tree, linked to a generator with hourly reports from the war front - the aussies really went to the end of the earth - to get the news to you !! Can't wait to hear all about your fascinating travels when we meet up at the ranch ! xxx PD
