Hi David,
Glad you have got home and hope that the flight was ok. You must feel quite strange at the moment, almost in no-mans land, not yet adjusted from holiday and travel mode and not back to the routine of day to day work etc.
Have just seen all of your last photos - they were brilliant, the islands around Phuket -were lovely although I don't know if I could cope with the caves, the entrances looked too small for me!!!!
You have had an amazing trip and lots of wonderful experiences sometime hope to see you so that we can hear about some of them.

I wonder if you have taken a photo of your luggage etc on your arrival home and wonder how it compaired with the one taken before you started your travels!!
Lots of love from us all

Glad you have got to Thailand ok - your photos remind us of some happy times when we visited the city all those years ago. Glad the floods have gone down and that you are able to continue with your plans. With your new cooking skills I expect everyone at home will be wanting a sample! Just read a piece in Mondays Times sports review of the weekend and in a paragraph about Aldershot it seems as though Ross had a brilliant match against Macclesfield and he has been signed on until 2014.
Enjoy your last week or so of your adventures, it won't be long before you will be getting ready to come home- it has tried to snow again this morning and the temperature at the moment is just above freezing.

hello, haven't had internet for a while so not been able to post anything!

hi, hope everything is ok. waiting on your melbourne blog and photos. we all send you our love. mum

Hi David,

Hope all is well, I wonder if you are still in Australia or have you moved on to your next destination?
Look forward to hearing all about your latest adventures.

Before you leave Sydney do try to walk the bridge....I didn't make it because I can't cope with heights but Keith Caroline and Lauren did it during our visit all those years ago. Sounds as though you are with friends and they will help to make sure the last few days in Sydney are fun.
Do check out the conditions in Thailand before you set off just to make sure that travel to the places you want to go to is back up and running after the floods. Also it might be useful to check how they have affected the mosquitoes!!!!!!
Have a good time in Melbourne .
Julia

Hi Dave,

Happy New Year!

Hope you are well and still enjoying your adventures.

Leaving a message on your wall is probably not very cool, but i just wanted to let you know that i got your xmas bonus paid into your bank - so dont spend it all in the same pound shop!

Speak soon,

Steve
p.s. Best wishes from the team.

Happy New Year David and best of luck for the rest of your travels. New Year looked amazing and you really look the part now on a surf board! When you get back home I don't think frensham ponds or even llittlehampton will live up to expectations! We all had a good New Year and can't believe it is now 2012....Olympic year. Keith Lauren and myself are all going to be helpers during the games...Lauren with Badmington, I am with archery and the triathlon(random I know but should be interesting) and Keith is still waiting to find out what he will be doing. The uniforms that we will be wearing have just been announced and they look terrible with purple and red jackets- apparently they are supposed to be a cross between the grenadier guard uniform and seargent pepper!!!! Certainly not as smart or as cool as the Australian Olympic outfits. Love from us all.

Your Christmas looked brilliant and will take some beating - you have some amazing photographs.
Happy New Year - have a good one, what ever you may be doing. Looking forward to catching up with your latest eploits in the New Year when we get back from Ringwood.

Hi, granny and grandpa were really chuffed they spoke to you on christmas day, it was lovely to hear you. julia copied some of your pages, and sent them to granny. they reckon you should turn all this into a book. we all send our love. god bless mum xx

Have a Happy Aussie Christmas, keep safe & have a great time. Russell
