Hello there! Sounds like you're having an amazing time. Dammit, it makes me want to up and go travelling again. I notice Dean keeps mentioning the sleaziness as a bad thing - yeah, whatever Dean... Claire's looking over your shoulder and all. "Oh yes, Claire, it's just awful"... I understand.

Anyway - just thought I'd wish you all the best.

Well hopefully nobody so the last message I put on here before I had chance to take it off, but just in case I will explain. Claire heard someone in a bar saying it was Mothers Day yesterday, so we put a message on here wishing our mothers a happy Mother's Day. As Claire's brother Michael quite rightly pointed out, is that Mother's Day was on the 6th of March. So maybe the Americans celebrate Mother's day in May? Or maybe somebody saw Claire coming. Makes sense to me

Oh well, as they say here; sabai sabai (means take it easy)

hi deano and claire, just been looking at your postcards from koh sok national park. I was in stitches about the lobster on the towel and the monkeys. When are you putting more photos on your website? Hope you are both keeping well. Love mum x

Hi. What a fantastic idea, I love your site, im gonna be on it everyday just to remind myself there is more to life than living in Darwen! Its freezing here, this week frost is expected, weve had a massive thunder storm and a real tornado in Preston that damaged houses. Anyway, enough of the weather forcast. Claire I cant believe you are actually doing this after the two weeks in Costa Del Sol when we were 18! Im so proud of you, and extermely jealous! Lots of love, have a great time, Emma xxxxxxxxx

Hey, everyone thanks for your messages so far. Currently we are in the tourist trap they call Ko Samui. There is plenty to do here but it is very sleazy and everything is extortionate, so we will be heading off again soon. Our next port of call is Khao Sok National park, where we hope to see lots of exotic wildlife and then (shock horror) to the tsuami stricken region of Krabi and the Phi Phi isles

Hiya Dean and Claire! Just been looking at your photo's in Thailand. You both seem to be having a great time. Where are you going to next and when. We are just about surviving this excellent weather in sunny Nelson (ha). Only got four weeks left at college for this seimester. If I pass and do ok I probably will do the level two in September. Love you and speak to you soon.

The pictures in your photo album are great - If i hadn't seen you (although obviously drunk!) with that grass hopper I wouldn't have believed it! BUT did you REALLY EAT IT?? Your posrcards are great too- you are obviously having a great time!!!

Hi Guy's, Excellent website. It looks as good as your holiday sound. Enjoy life. Darcy
