Joan & Laurie Hello You Lucky People, It was lovely talking to you last Sunday while at your Parents'house.We've been catching up with your blogs and photo's and it all most exciting, but, for us, a bit exhausting! The photo's are great and give an idea of all the variety that you are experiencing. It does sound pretty well organised which must give Mum & Dad a good deal of comfort. It was very nice to see them last week, it had been some time-which is usually the case when you live quite close to someone. Peter kindly sent us an itinerary but we're not sure where you are at the moment. I guess it might be somewhere beyond Bangkok. We hope to visit Pat & Gordon next Wednesday and feel sure they will have all the latest gen on your whereabouts. It wont be long before you meet Mum & Dad in OZ; you must be looking forward to seeing them and there's no doubt they are just a bit excited at the thought of seeing you again. Take care and lots of love, from Joan & Laurie xx.

Joan & Laurie Hello Travellers, I,d better get the sum right or this will not be sent! Lovely to hear your exciting news of faraway places we've never heard of! It sounds as if you're having a super time and being taken to lots of interesting places that most of us will never see. They do seem to be giving you plenty of choices of activities and looking after you very well. Can't say the extreme cold would be too attractive, especially after our Winter, but imagine the scenery to be quite spectacular. We're looking forward to seeing a few photo's but that might be a bit more time-consuming. Take care and enjoy the ride! Love, Joan & Laurie. xx.

maria Hey Catherine, sounds like you're having a great time, can't wait to pick your brain when you get back..............Russia is a must on my list one of these days!! All is well at Testway

Mum & Dad Hi girls, hope you have not got frost bite yet!! Have just been reading Hayley's message and trust you are not troubled by this in all those layers!!! Had a good laugh when we read it. Will probably hear from you at the end of the week when you reach Beijing. So don't worry everyone they are not lost, just out of contact in the depths of Mongolia. Love you xxxx
