Hi to the both of you, I have finally found your site. Your travels look absolutely fantastic and it's great being able to see the photos. It makes me feel I'm there with you, experiencing it all!!
Take care and lots of love

Hola Donna & Neil - All sounds pretty smashing out there to me. looks a bit fresh around that ice area! Hope you packed a water bottle. How can anybody possibly top your travel stories and give a remotely interesting account of themselves.
I'm stuck at me desk scratching me arse, trying to avoid anything that remotely feels like hard work. I can't even tell you about any life threatening injuries from roller-disco as for once in me life I did'nt even bloody fall over.
Anyway, West Ham are flying, The West London slags got knocked out the cup by Barcelona (get in there) and Millwill are getting relegated. There is a silver lining.
Chiswick is still there ,no new road markimgs, billboards or pedestrian crossings. (why does something always look different when you get home from holiday?)
My Thailand holiday was superb (good food, lovely people and all that jazz) Brummie we were travelling with had a meat and two veg experience with one of those Ladyboy things (sends a shiver down my spine). Fair play to him for telling us though.
I'm off to Barcelona with a mate to watch a bit of footie next month and popping over to Scicily for a week in June for Katies's 30th. (should be a giggle)
Adios

What a trip ! Antactica looks too cold for me now! Nice to see the Argentinian horses in their proper home. I'll show our Criollos and make them homesick ! I haven't seen any pictures of Punta Arenas yet where my Mummy was born but I'll keep looking. keep on having fun and sending the pictures.
Love Jill and Peter

Hi Neil & Donna
Well we found your site...so there's no getting away from us now! We got home on Thursday evening but again our luggage was left in Madrid and we only got the bags last night (Saturday) oh well never mind as the trip to Antarctica was so amazing nothing could spoil that!
We've been looking at all our photos and also watching all the video footage we took - it's great although I'm sure Paul's boys got very bored after about the first hour! We've just had a quick look at your Antarctica photos and they are really great - especially the ones that we are in (ha ha ha!)
We will take another look at your Argentina ones when we've got a bit more time. I note that it says you are in Rio Gallegos....what happened to the Spanish course????? Are you not doing this in Ushuaia as planned?
Anyway better sign off for now. It's Sunday afternoon and I've got to get all the stuff ready for Paul & I to go back to work tomorrow (boo hoo).
So take care and let's keep in touch as we both really enjoyed your company in Antarctica!
Love From Rachel & Paul xxxx
P.S. "Neil Neil Orange Peel" - Have you found a left-handed ironing board yet????
Barbara & Sam
Hi to you both, Nicola gave me your website address recently so I've been avidly following your adventures, it all looks pretty amazing, what a wonderful experience and some great photos. Like Nicola I fell in love with the penguins. I've printed off a couple of pics to show Keeley (one of your old classmates from Eastlea) as I saw her the other week because she's still friends with Zoe, Sam's niece, and she was asking about you. I'll be seeing her again in a couple of weeks at Sam's grandaughters birthday party, she'll be there with her little girl Lillie who's two and a bit of a handful! I hope you don't mind me leaving this message on your board but like others back home I wanted you both to know that you are thought about, with envy! I look forward to keeping in touch with your travels. Have a great time and take care. Love Barbara & Sam. xx
Nicola
Hello its the more sensible one of our partnership here. Well I assume you're pretty close to your boat trip now. Love the photos of penguins - were there lots of ooohhs and aahs from donna? We are off to simons birthday bash on friday night to roller disco - I'm looking forward to it. I promise to take photos of simon skating. Anyway I'm about to go to bed for a read soon. Enjoy and take care of each other. Lots of love Nic
James
hello there, macro here, just been nosing at your photo album. looks like you're having a great time - not alot happening here and not alot for me to write about much to nicola's dismay and annoyance. I am quite clearly the worst penpal known to the human race. was hoping that last sentence got a laugh from hobbett, sadly mistaken again. anyway i must go because i am typing this whilst hanging off the sofa head first which is resulting in my eyes bulging and my head turning red. nicola's last comment i am bizzare. i have been told to stop typing as its driving nic insane.......bye for now james xx
Lorna
Hi Donna & Neil Your travels look amazing!! The photos are stunning especially the ones of the falls. Hope you are both well and that the weather is good. We've been off for half term although i worked for most of it - taking 35 kids bowling is very hard ! Ha! Ha! I received an email from Colina for my 40th Birthday and have said that we should meet. Will let you know the outcome.we will continue to watch your travels in the office.Lorna
Theresa
Taking a break and browsing the site for the first time for a couple of weeks. Looks and sounds fantastic - and some entertaining and amusing writing.
Tina
Hi Donna,
Just arrived back at school after half term. It is wet and windy here, nothing changes. Your pictures are great. I expect you are so glad now that you made the right decision to go travelling. You look like you are having a great time. It was Lorna's 40th birthday last week, we went on an office outing to a Chinese Restaurant and the Theatre it was a good day.
But now back to work as usual, you are making us all jealous. Well keep safe, have a fantastic time, speak to you soon.
Love Tina.
Nic
Dons and Neil,
What can I say. Just checked out the photos and extremely jealous. I'm in work today, I know its half term but I need to do some marking (a teachers is never off duty despite the horrible rumours). Iguaza falls look fantastic, infact everything looks fantastic. The shots of waterfall from helicopter are great. i'm impressed with the photography - I assume thats you neil (dons being all fingers and thumbs). Glad you went horseriding again dons. I'm off to Hay on Wye with mum in may and we plan to go horseriding - it will be amusing to see mum riding (sorry mum if you check out this message). james and i are off to braintree freeport tomorrow to spend some of my birthday money. I plan to buy a big warm jacket for Poland - i think its going to be a bit cold. Excited about poland now - I'll try to send you some pics via e-mail. Well I miss you loads don (and you neil), I've even checked out price of flights with the dream of coming over in summer (but really do think its a dream - but we keep doing the lottery). Have to go now. Love you, nix (+ james)
