Tracie Hello sweetie, well I had to post at least one blog entry before you get back. Even though I've txt & mailed you don't want your buddies thinking I've disowned you! Got a feeling you're either home or on your way home so I will call you v.soon. Just wanted to say that your blog is fab and has been so entertaining and descriptive, can't wait to see the full slide-show on the new 46" TV that Steve convinced me we needed! Have missed you loads, catch up soon xxx

Nige Hi again, yep still here watching the goings on of the intrepid wanderer. It's seems a long time ago when we bumped in to each other in Amsterdam. Still you've done it and I assume everything is still Tickerty-boo. Hope Christmas was great for you whatever you did, or maybe whatever you're still doing. Did you see the Rail? Lastly this'll make you feel even better, I had to work Christmas an Boxing Day, still I just think of the money. Continue as you've started, having a wonderful time, all the best for 2008.... Nige xx

debbie happy christmas Dawn - I am pleased you are having a great time. Get in touch when you get back I would love to see you. Sorry this is long overdue I did not recieve a email address from you and Clare Procktor sent this to me. Have a fab crimbo lots of love debbie steve & kate xxx .....we have missed you.

Clare Hi hun, Your back in Cusco today so will no doubt log on and update your blog with all your news. It sounds like you are having the best time ever and I can't believe this time next week you'll be home. I'm sure that is not a nice thought for you in lots of ways. I saw Justine last night and we are both really looking forward to seeing you in a couple of weeks. Enjoy Christmas with the children, I'm sure the booze will be flowing, it has so far on this trip!! Happy Happy Christmas. Lots of love Clare

Kathryn Hi D, A long overdue message from KC. Just wanted to wish you a very Happy Christmas far far away. I would say have a great time but it would seem you are already doing that! So glad you're loving every minute! The photos are fantastic and look forward to seeing more (not all in one session though)! Happy Crimbo from the Claxtons and all at KF. xxx

Lisa and Nicky @ the office Happy Christmas Dawn from all of us @ Kraft - we have really enjoyed following your travels and can't wait to catch up with you when you're back. Lisa and Nicky

Whitey Hi Sweetie, Have been really enjoying your adventures - love the hat (I think!!!) but it suits you far better than it would be - it would be floating a foot higher than my head once the humidity and curls set in! Are you coming back???! It sounds as if you are having the time of your life - go girl! Can't wait to hear all about it in person, (and I want the juicy bits too that you can't write in your blog!). I head off on monday, back beg. of Feb, (Aus), with an orphanage thrown into the equation on the Thai/Burmese border - me, 6 nuns and 65 orphans. The first thing on my "to buy in duty free" list is the Bombay Sapphire - I think I might need it, even if I'm having to swig out of the bottle under my blanket when the lights are out! Looking forward to a few of those with you n Feb. Safe journey home, and enjoy it all to the very last! Love Whitey xx

Nige, jealous or what! Hi Dawn...Michelle? I imagine you'll be off to 'Darkest' Peru soon, sampling the delights of the Manu, It'll be interesting to see how things go for you, for me it was fantastic, I hope it's the same for you. Not sure if you'll see the Helmeted Pygmy-tyrant though, oh er! Wet, hot, sticky, oh and the climate should be a little different too, as I said before, JEALOUS! Looking forward to the next instalment. Enjoy, take care, Nige x

Di Good luck in the Big Forest sweetie pie (it'll do you good to give up drinking for a few weeks I think), take care and enjoy and see you SOOON!
