You will have to send me all the gos and when I get time I will open up the photos' and have a recap. Glad you are home safe and sound, where to next? LOTS and LOTS of Love Chris and Bruce

Liz hey hey. Viv you are a top blogger. And your final last hurrah [glasto] was most amusing. I do hope you're already planning your next adventure. Love Liz, Gav and Maybel.

John Mc Welcome back. Have a great time at Glastonbury! One of your previous blog entries might be apt for the next few days "think I'm going to experience some extreme weather conditions - from some wonderful hot sunshine to torrential tropical rain to freezing cold nights?" good old Blightly!

Jo M Hi Viv,Wow, I can't believe your travels are nearly over...it feels like they've only just begun (probably even more so for you)...where does that time go. Sounds like you had/are having a ball?it'll be hard for you to settle back into real life. Ell, if it's any consolation (which I know it really isn't)?we can't wait to have you back and catch-up?and hear all about your travels.Chat soon,Jxxx

Jenny & Darcy Hi Ya Viv, How are you ever going to come back down to earth? - way too much excitement for one gal! Only 15 more working days for me and we can hit the road running......We are awaiting the arrival of a couple from England and their 21month old baby at the moment. They are family members of a couple we met in Spain in 1999. We have news that Haemish and Ali will be moving to England to live in September so we'll be regular visitors now I guess. We'll be seeing you on 20th & 21st October if this is still O.K. Continue to enjoy - With love, J&D xx

Neil Eh up Viv, I have been following your travels with interest and can't understand what all the fuss about! Volcanoes in Banos, Bikini wax in Lima? What's all that about....you may think this is all life changing stuff but give me a droopy sandwich from the buffet bar on Greville Street any day! I think you are missing out on some amazing experiences right here in dear old blighty... We are all good here. Summer is rapidly kicking in so we are all getting the sun cream out of the cupboards and dusting down our shorts and t-shirts. The rumours are that we are going to have a scorcher this year too so you won't lose that hard earned tan. Only one major disaster to report. The Fence has stopped selling New Zealend Sav Blanc so Rose and I are having a few panic attacks about where we will be getting our fix over the summer months! Can you believe it! We are all missing you and look forward to hearing about it all in detail when you get home (as long as you keep it short and sweet mind!) lots of love Chowings x

Trudi I'm very jealous. I wouldn't bother coming back if I were you. x

Vanessa C Hola Viv! Glad to see you're having a great time. Have been keeping an eye on your updates and am suitably jealous! Weather in the UK is it's usual undecided self. Just when you think it's going to pour with rain all day we having a stunning sunny day, and then you come to work in your vest and flip flops and it pours with rain ... still ; we're all looking forward to seeing you again soon. Enjoy the rest of your trip. Love Vx

SinginJonny Hola amiga, que tal? Glad to hear you're feeling better. I can sympathise with how you were feeling. You're lucky you saw condors at Colca Canyon. We waited for 2 hours and only saw one about a mile away, could have been a crow for all we knew. I'm off to spend my last few days in Japan in and around Tokyo. Now I'm heading home I can do some serious shopping. Off to Hong Kong on the 3rd June then flying home with Lily on the 13th. Can't wait now. See you the smoke for a jar at some point. J x

chris and bruce  Hi Viv , Had a good time in Adelaide saw Jen and Darcy. Hamish was down for the weekend so I stayed with my sister , a friend Sandie, and then caught up with Bruces Mum for Mothers day and her birthday I love all you travels and photos keep them coming Love from both of us and stop loving the loo.

John Mc Hi Viv,Just had another nose around your pics and blog. Sounds like you are still having a great time. Summer appears to be over here weather-wise. It was fun while it lasted. Keep on having a good one!Johnx

Lanceman Hey Viv, I want the whole world to know that "You Rock!!!"  Your friend with the junkie noggin, Lanceman

Lanceman Buenos Diaz Senorita Viv,  I just read your blog regarding Bolivia.  It sounds like a wild city to me :)  It's Monday April 30th about 6:40am.  I'm leaving Ventura today and heading back to Reno.  It's been a good 10 days off, but now I must return to work...I dred the thought of work.  It's been good just chillin here and hanging out with my brother and sisters, neice, and nephews.  I miss them very much.  I only had one beer during my entire trip (the first Friday after I arrived in Ventura).  I've beem feeling a bit junkie the entire time I've been here.  I think it's allergies.  Oh well, it's back to work for four days and then the following week I'm only in Reno for 3 days because on April 9th I'm off to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma (actually I'll be in Spencer just a few miles to the east) for my Grandmother's 90th birthday.  Wow, if I live to be 90, I've still got 52 more years left on this planet...I'd better figure out what I want to do when I grow up :)  I'm still playing work by ear as far as staying or going.  I've heard since I've been away from Reno that my new boss has since moved in, and his desk if very close to mine :(  What did I do to deserve that :)  It's going to be an interesting summer at work.  We celebrated my sister Camille's 40th b day last night!  It was quite fun.  Just us family and a couple of significant others.  We had an early dinner by the beach followed up by icecream cake :)  Well, my sis and I are going on a walk down by the water, have a good one and chat soon, Cheers, Lanceman
