nan and pop Hi there again Just been reading about your latest adventures diving. Sounds very scary!!! Last few days now so make the most of any relaxation time you can, there won't be much time to relax when you are home. I gather your time will be fully booked seeing everyone and getting washing and packing done.Hear also that you have been shopping again. really looking forward to seeing you next friday. Let me know if you want anything done. All love and kisses take care nan and pop xxxxx

Nan P Hi Luvs Well your time is nearly up and what a wonderful journey you have had, not only you but for all of us who have been following through your journal. It was a wonderful idea and I am sure that everyone reading it has been really impressed. This will be my last effort as I am off to France on Monday for a week and I believe I get back on the same day as you. Eli's Mum has invited me to go to her flat in Cannes so that should be a laugh as she is quite a card. I am really looking forward to seeing you again and hope that the tail-end of your journey is still full of fun. Take care. Love you lots Nanny Porridge xxxxxxxxxxxx

Ems and Steve Hello People! We just thought that we'd let you know that we are nearing the end of our trip now and so if you have been thinking of leaving a message for a while and for some bizzare reason haven't done, now is really your last opportunity to do so! So get typing!! We're just about to add another part of our journey to the journal section so be sure to check that out also. We'll be back in England in just over a week, so not long now. Ems and Steve xxx

Rhi Hey Sorry it's been so long been a bit hectic here although the pace has slowed a bit since i damaged my ankle and am in a ski boot type cast and on crutches, slightly inconvenient being that i live in a town house and the kitchen is on the second floor. I have to make sure i take everything with me when moving around as it takes me about 30 minutes to get from the top to the bottom and it's not good to forget something and have to go back down. Anyway you sound like your having a fab time, keep enjoying it. You're horse must have been very nice as you don't seem to say anything about the pain. I rode on wooden saddles in mexico and couldn't walk for a week. Speak soon, lots of love Rhi x

nan and pop Hey there wanderers I see from your journal that you are filling every minute to the end of your travels! Still enjoying every inch of the journey with you.I am so pleased you set upyour jornal as it makes you feel that bit closer, but must admit can't wait to see you both along with the thousand or so pictures. I ask myself whether we will have time to see them before you go off again Em . Still at least it won't be so far away. Thanks for pops birthday card it has some beautiful pictures. He was very thrilled to receive it so quickly. The mind bogles at all you have managed to fit in. It is marvellous to take the opportunity now. Do continue to enjoy yuorselves but hopefully all the dangerous sports are now behind you and I DON'T HAVE TO HOLD MY BREATH WAITING TO HEAR OF YOUR NEXT EXPLOITS! Do so miss you. What date do you arrive back? take good care love and god bless nan xxxxx

Jo Hi ems and steve! Just thought i would let you know i got my GCSE results today and i'm more than pleased with what i got!

Thanks for the birthday card you sent (It came a bit late but thank you anyway) and thanks or the advice to save up! Carry on having a great time and see you when you get back! Love Jo xxxxx

Nan P Hi you 2 Nomads Your last message brought back a few memories of the tales that Grand-dad used to tell as he was in KL during his army service and it was one of the places he would have liked to have revisited but did not make it. Still that's life for you! You continue making the most of yours and enjoy every minute of it. Can't wait to see you home again. Take care and love as always Nan P. xxxxxxxxx

Debs Hey Guys, Hope you had a good birthday Steve, and thanks for my brithday message!! I had a lovely birthday weekend, saw my parents on Sat, the girls i used to live with on Sun, and then we had a pancake party on Monday at home, it was good but not drunken, as i had to give a presentation the next morning at 9:30!!! J has now moved out, so the house is very lonely without him, although he has been staying at the house odd nights here and there, especially while Mike's been away, cause i didn't want to be on my own! J and I went to a party at Alex's on saturday for his parents' Silver Wedding Anniversary, it was really lovely, it was black tie, so i had another excuse to dress up! Anyway must go back to my project work, as time is creeping on and i've only got 4 weeks now till i start in Northampton! Love to you both Debs (& J)

Nan P Hello my Luvs Long time no hear so I am getting worried but I supposed you are still well occupied and I think you have done really well keeping us so well informed of your amazing antics ,Isn't it good news about Rachel and Andy. I am so proud of all of you. It is well past my bedtime so I will make this short and look forward to another update soon. Love you lots and good night and God Bless Nan P.xx

Derek and the Spoons Hi Ems & Steve. Just realised I Have been reading all you journals and not sent a message. So here it is. First happy birthday to Steve what a great way to spend your birthday. Second, Rob is well jealous, rainforests, jumping out of planes, animals(including dangerous ones) right up his street. He is in the New Forest with your Dad and Tom at the moment doing a yomp (Big rucksack, no washing, the lot) sounds like they are having a good time even though the weather has gone a bit pants. As for the rest of us, nothing too exciting, decorating actually. (Yawn) Jo gets her results next week so bit nervy. Keep having fun and writing the journals. Bye for now, and keep safe. Delboy and the Spoons

Carol Hi Hope you had a great 22nd birthday Stee. We missed going down the white water rapids at Holme Pierrepont this year. (well l did any way) I'm sure the birthday money will be useful. Keep safe both of you. Lots of love Mum xxxxxxx

Nan P Thank God I did not know what you were up to or should I say down to! before you did it, my stomach is still churning. What a wonderful experience. I might even try it yet but I think I will aim for swimming with dolphins first! I think you will sleep for the week that you are home. Continue the good work - I mean play - and keep the info comming as it makes a good read. Take care love you lots Nan P xxx HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEVE Have a good day xxx

Katie WOAH!!! It could only be you Miss Stass......don't think you'd get me doing it! Looked amazing though, good on ya! Think about me stuck inside doing 35hrs a week (I'm just thinking of the money!) Going to Notts for a few days on Monday which'll be nice (will say hello to Beeston as I pass by it Steve!) Hope you have a happy bday tomorrow. Anyways best go grab a cheese sarnie and carrot and orange muffin before work (still varying my diet you'll be pleased to know!!!) And just for the record Steve I was up at 9 this morning hehe! Thanks for the pics and videos. Hope to hear from you again soon. Lots of love Katie xxx

Unc Kev Hey Ems - AWESOME VIDEO!! - Even Eli was impressed! You and Steve sure have guts. But next time don't keep pointing your boobs at the camera! I only ever got as far as filling in a form to go skydiving, but never did it. Still, just as well really - I might have ended up in a field of barley (and you know what happens then!!). I'll just stick to putting cabinets up the wrong way instead - much safer..... Have a great rest of your holiday. Take care. Love Kev, Eli & The boys xx
