I am sure that it is wonderful to see him and exchange some stories! I am at home at the moment looking after Jack as Mum and Dad are away. He is playing me up as usual running after rabbits and deers and losing his ball! I am really looking forward to seeing you on Tuesday, I hope the flight goes well. I have got Thursday off work, so if you are not to tired maybe we could do something?! Maybe go and do some visiting? Anyway enjoy your last few days! Take care, lots of love Jen xx

We are really going to miss having you around! I wish you all the best back home in England, and look forward to visting you and meeting all your family and friends! Love and Friendship Bec

Barb and Co Lovely to speak to you this morning Ben - I really wished I was out there with you. I'm so glad that you and Ian have managed to meet up albeit for such a short time - I bet you've been talking 90 to the dozen about diving and there's so much you'll be able to tell him. Jill and Barry would love to have visitors but I'm worried that even Cornish seas will be a huge disappointment after all those fabulous sites that you've dived. We'll be thinking of you partying on Saturday and hope you have an unforgetable time - your friends sound lovely. I guess to get to the UK on Tuesday you'll be leaving sometime on Monday afternoon - have a very safe and enjoyable journey. 4 and a bit more days to go!!!! With our love as always. xxxx

Ian Hey Ben, We're flying into Sydney at 9:30 tomorrow (wednesday) night, and i think our friend is at a backpackers on king streets is it? at the moment so we'll stay there for the first night. I'll try and give you a ring when we get into sydney centre to arrange meeting up and stuff. In the last couple of weeks we have dove at 'Poor Kinghts' islands in tutakaka and in the 'Supermarket' in Fiji, both have been pretty cool and i'll tell you all about it when i arrive. See you soon

Barb and Co Only 7 more days to go!!!!!!
