Dad Hi Claire.... Mum & I have seen a few photos now of you on your travels (by linking in to other peoples Facebook accounts who are also out in Peru/Bolivia with you!) You look like you're having a great time. Take every opportunity to enjoy and take in all you see out there (you probably won't have this chance again) Only a few more weeks till you're on the plane home!! (Not that we're counting or anything...) So keep taking the photos LOL Dad

Granpa D Nice to hear from you Claire, and to hear that you're getting around again. (envy!!) You're taliking about sunshine and tan - I've got MORE snow falling again here in US with a Winter Storm Warning giving us another 3 - 4 inches on top of what we've already had. Should've brought my skis!! Take care....

Dad Oh yeah...... Robs birthday today and he got your texts. You'll also be pleased to know that I dragged him out of his pit around 7am to dish out pressies. He's not an 'early morning boy' is our Rob..... but he's missing you and looking after the car.....

Dad I dunno.... you don't write, you don't call, you don't update you blog..... What are you doing? ENJOYING yourself or something??!! Hope all's settled down over there and you're getting back to getting to see the country again. Hope the weather's improved....(it'll make the photos that much better) and that you've also managed to wash your trousers you minger! You've been there a few weeks now.... have you noticed a nasty smell and that the fact that people might be wary of sitting next to you on the bus? Anyway, have seen a couple of photos of you on someone else's blog and a picture of Jodie's arm squeezing a pig?! You look like you're having a good time so it seems like the cheek clenching time may now be over now that you're gettting used to the food. Take care and have fun LOL (That means LOTS OF LOVE to old farts like me) Dad xx

Alice hey there trout - long time no hear!?!?!?!?!?! Hope you are well - heard about your phone from mum - glad that you found it!! Hope things are going well - where are you at the moment - did you get to lake titicaca? hope you are still taking lots of pics and bringing back lots of memories. See or hear from you soon - oooooooooooodles and ooooooodles of love Alice xxxOxxx

Mum Hi Claire, It's Sunday evening 22.24 hrs and just to let you know that your phone has been barred with immediate effect. How will you manage without it...! You'll just have to use your blog more now :-) Hope you are ok otherwise. Love and hugs Mum xxx

Anna Hey hun Finally got to check out what you've been up to! Hope you're having a wicked time. Stay safe. xxx

Mum Hi there Girlies Hope this message finds you both well? Can't believe we are into Feb already, not that we are missing you :-) ! Dad's man flu seems to be coming to an end, lucky your not here Claire as he's been banished to cough in your bed! Let us know how you are..... Hope you are still enjoying yourselves. Love Mum xxxxx

Aunty Sandra Hi Claire Feb already! Savour every moment. I can't wait to see your pics. Thinking about you loads Sandra xxx

Rob Alright Boyooooooo! :) good to hear your having a good time, its been earily quiet without you ... which is good! lol obviously your having a good time so keep at the whole thing! :) laterzz x

Aunty Sandra yoo niece, where are the pics? Nice to hear you are still up for it... so you are getting a beef substitute often lower in cholestral and less fattening. I agree with your Dad wine wont upset you and kills the bugs but not as effectively as a spirit . Hope you get to party a bit when you feel better. hugs Sandra and Des (ofcourse!)

Susie H What a bummer! Not being able to do the trail. You know what that means? You'll just need to do it all again. Have fun doing the other stuff you wouldn't have had time to do and be safe. Susan P.S - I want pictures
