Hi there you two clowns, its Mary!!!

How you both doing?? Absolutely brilliant by the sound of it!!!! How good is this online journal thing you've got going on - very professional!! It sounds and looks fantastic!!! I hope its everything you imagined it to be and more.....

Gosh, I'm so jealous of you both, you little feckers!! The views/sights look amazing - I cant believe you have been to so many fantastic places in such a short space of time - make sure you take tons more pictures (as everyone keeps saying!!!!) I've really enjoyed reading your little account of things - sounds wicked when you compare it to here (no suprise really!!) I've enjoyed reading the banter from Kerry and Aneesa too (HI THERE you two if your reading this, you crack me up you eejits!!!) Ha Ha - Howson, you made me look like a proper weirdo at work today - I was scanning through your photos and just cracked up laughing out loud at the pic of you with the Top Gun glasses on!! I couldnt contain myself and looked like a right freak, sat there at my desk, on my own, laughing away to myself - what a geek!!! That pic of you making the JUMBO monkey nostrils made me crack up too - it looks sooo much fun!! Keep misbehaving!! I've just got back from Dublin (not quite New York!!!) and it just made me think - I've just gotta get out of Preston and my 9-5 routine and see the world - this has defo given me an extra incentive even more so - I guess you are the guinea pigs!!!! See and learn!!!

Anyway, gotta go, Im at work and am clock watching (nerd) - roll on 5.00pm!!!!

Keep me filled in!!

Keep laughing and keep safe!!
