Hi Em,

Been hearing about the parachute jump and read your Fiji experience notes. Hope you are having a better time in New Zealand. Be careful what you take in to Oz as their customs are red hot! Fiona showed me some of your photos from San Fransisco. Loved some of the artwork! Take care. Roy x

Sounds like you're having a fantastic time!! You picked a great time to get out of the UK, the last couple of weeks were the coldest in 20 years!! Can't wait to read about New Zealand! Anna xx

Patiently waiting for the next instalments - L.A., Figi, etc., but guess you're having too much of a ball to catch up. Guess I'll have to wait until next time I see you. Isn't N.Z. awesome? Oz is even better! "A.Ch."

Hi Emma: Got your blog address from your Mum and have enjoyed reading about your time in S.F. Look forward to the next instalment(s). Did you receive my e-mail re Bob & Liz Donaldson's invitation. If so, let me know that you did so and whether or not you might visit them so that I can e-mail them again with more of your details and plans. Luv U "A.Ch.

have had much fun in the dodgy bits! remind me to tell you the story of the tunnel, 3 drunks and a roller-blader - oh yes and going through a door that said "no entry".

despite having been going to SF for 20 years, still walk in the wrong direction!xx

Sounds like Dad & I walked around as much as you. We didn't just look at Lombard - we walked from bottom to top! I thought Bay Bridge was more impressive too. lots of love xx

Glad your having a blast! Hope you get to see the sea lions in the daylight, but watch out for the clam chowder! lots of love G, H & R xxx

haha loved your comment about watching the fish and the sign that said "don't judge the fish!" made me "lol" haha xx

Bon voyage Emma! I look forward to reading about your adventures. Take care. Roy x
