You will either love this or hate it after the anticipation we stirred up from the 'Just a thought' Blog. But either way we thought it was a touch of genius, so enjoy.

Koh Pha ngan, 1pm us and our bags say goodbye to the beach and head for the ferry port by taxi, which gave us 30 minutes of memories and feelings we cant even begin to put into words.

8pm we are off the ferry and on an overnight bus to Bangkok for the next 9 hours!! In the early hours of the 31st October we arrived at Khao San road in Bangkok, (pause now and think back, this means that we were in Bangkok when the last blog went on!!! Also at the point we spoke to some of you and you thought we were still on the island!!) shortly after which, we were at our pre booked hotel and checked in a few hours later when our room was ready.

We had three days in which to buy all our last bits and pieces and presents and tie up a few loose ends of our secret mission. So thats what we did, we shopped for hours searching for the right stuff and in between had regular contact with secret agent PO. Secret agent PO was arranging a few little things that we could not do but were essential to our success.

For our last night in Bangkok we took to the bars both as you would know a bar and in the form of a VW camper van selling beers from the back and sitting on garden furniture in the street, while also people watching and mulling over what was to come. Oh and we did sneak a few rather tatsy cocktails on to the menu as well before heading to the river side to watch the festival where hundreds of fire ballons are let of into the sky.

3rd November, Bangkok international airport, we caught a flight to stop number one! This was Kuala Lumpur and yes we have been there already so no that is not the surprise. Now in the evening of 3rd November we take a delayed flight number two to ........... oh yeah its still secret!

Several films, 12 hours and two very tired people later we cleared immigration and customs and emerged into an absolute bone chilling horror of declimatisation, otherwise known as bloody freezing cold weather in ...........

Now in order for our grand finale to work we had to be invisable fo the next 24 hours at least, so we collected a hire car for our under cover work and drove north to our first nights hiding place which was another hotel! After a decent nights sleep and some decent meals we were ready to spring the first surprise.

Parked in the darkest part of the road in a dark car peeking over the window edge we waited for target one to arrive, a slight problem had occured in that someone was in the house and they werent meant to be! So we had to keep a good distance to avoid been seen.

Our target pulled up in front of the house and promptly went inside before we could start the car and pull up in front of him. Carina's phone rang as it was her dad letting us know he was home thinking he was about to be on skype with us. This could of blown the whole operation as the phone would now ring normally because we were in sunny ENGLAND, we quickly knocked on the door and hid, a moment later Carina's Dad opened the door and got the best birthday present he's had in a long time to see us in front of him on the eve of his birthday!

As you can guess this was a happy reunion with Tim and Juli, we are pleased to say Tim was lost for words with the delight and relief his little girl was home safe. As promised as well we were made our well deserved first cup of decent English TEA!! Amazing, oh and the coal fire was a welcome warm not to be missed as well.

After recovering from shock we were treated to a meal out to celebrate and caught up with each others goings on from the last twelve months. The following morning we were up early for Tims birthday having hidden out for there for the night. Sadly Tim had to work that day so couldn't stay with us and Juli was off to work too but under instruction to keep quiet as she too works at fd and a leak could really ruin the plan.

That day we collected the eggs for them from the chicken pen which was an interesting welcome home experience, especially when the rooster charges you for interfering with his women!!!

Now on the 6th November we were ready for stage two of our mission, both our mums would be together at a bonfire party at Carina's mums house and were as far as we knew still under the impression we were in Thailand just as everyone else other than agent PO was.

Now just to say here that all our family in some way had messed up this plan more than once as they changed bonfire night at the last minute and changed their shift patterns and remember when you're keeping a secret getting this information without arrousing suspicion is not easy! But as we had done hundreds of times on this trip we adapted and overcame and had agent PO for confirmation and detail changes.

Contact made with agent PO, the weapons of mass chaos were in position and so were we. Sitting in the car a street away from Carina's mums we waited for the fire to be lit and people to arrive. At 7:20pm both our mums were instructed to be ready to light a firework at exactly 7:30pm, each of rather a large nature and told it was in our honour and we would be doing the same where we were so connecting us somehow.

By now agent PO had given us the second signal as he was inside and we had moved into position outside of the garden waiting to scale the wall and come over the fence, just seconds before they lit the fireworks. HOWEVER, Carina's sister decided to be late to the doo and drove past the end of the street blasting on the horn causing us to make a dash for cover!

Our plan going pear shaped we were forced to react as the fireworks were just been lit!!!! Knowing Alicia would have the gates opened to get in the drive we made a dash for the open entrance, running directly towards her car with our heads wrapped in scarves and only eyes showing.

Having passed Alicia who was now wheelspinning up the drive after us having realised what was happening, we passed another sister holding the dog, vaulted a wall going straight through a rose bush and picked our targets...the MOTHERS!

Emerging from the hedge and running across the garden a wave of shock passed across the faces of the party goers, disbelieving of what was happening and seeing two masked people. We reached our mums without resistance and pulling of our head scarves announced....."Did you really think you could do this without us???!!! to which we were greeted with more shock and disbelief followed shortly by many tears and hugs.

Carina's sister appeared protesting at why she had not been trusted with this secret as she had been to Thailand to see us, well lets just say we wanted it to be a secret!!!!

For ages after our arrival people were trying to figure out how we had done this with things changing and how we had fooled them into thinking we werent coming home so soon. The champagne came out and we kept giving away bits of clues but never the whole thing.

The night was dramatically livened up and the fireworks got bigger and bigger as every year there is a stand off with the men trying to outdo each other (its a size thing), we finished our return day off with a fire balloon at midnight, that floated up and away visible for miles until eventually we lost sight of it.

No one other than secret agent PO aka Philip ever knew anything about our return or had been trusted with any part of the organisation.

Agent PO did a brilliant job never letting a thing slip and what made that better, was that no one thought that PO could hold his own water but for us he had been the obvious choice and we never doubted him. Thanks a lot PO, couldn't have done it without you.

The other thing that pulled this off was our amazing tricks of the mind and believe us thats exactly what they were. We tricked you with words used specifically and put ideas in your heads that all formed a perfectly executed illusion without one word of a lie crossing our lips. You dont believe us??? Well here are some examples.

Q. When are you back?
A. Our insurance runs out 27th November so we have to be back in England by then, so we would have to fly on the 26th to make it by then! (Every word true, we never said that was when we were flying!)

Q. Have you booked a flight yet?
A. We are checking prices for around 26th and have emailed airlines but not had a response to our question yet, plus the travel guide says the cheapest time to book is 14 to 21 days from when you want to fly! (Not a straight answer but all true, if they answered a question just email them another so there is always an unanswered one!)

If you wonder why we came back a little early, well it wasnt money, arguments, kids, weddings or any other crazy notion you may have.

It was simply that we had done what we set out to do, we wanted it to end our way and on our terms, end while its good and go out on a high, cause chaos and surprise and have a Grand Finale never to be forgotten and with a Birthday and Bonfire party return they are perfect dates to mark our return forever.

So now we are BACK, trying to figure out what has just happened and how to live a normal life again and believe us its very odd!

But that was our "Grand Finale", love it or hate it for us it really was SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPIALIDOCIOUS!!!

PEOPLE SAID THIS TRIP WAS IMPOSSIBLE, BUT WE DID IT.
SO NOW THIS IS NOT THE END.
BUT JUST THE BEGINING AS HAVING DONE THE IMPOSSIBLE, NOW EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE!!!
