Hi Gary & Dee,  New Zealand looks wonderful and you sound as though you are having a terrific time.  Must feel like a second honeymoon!  Enjoy it to the max!  Can't wait to see photos of Australia and the old neighborhood.  Take care of each other, my love to you both.  As always, Dawn (This is what a power-surge feels like!)

It's fantastic to read about your're journey, it's the next best thing to actually being there with you ......... sorry I'm dreaming again!!! Everything sounds amazing and the pics are great.  Richard says he missed Gary at the boys birthday bowling night, it ended up a draw but he thinks Gary might have won it for them if he'd been there!

Your're definitely in a much better place so carry on enjoying - we'll be thinking of you as usual and looking forward to more updates.  Love to you both from all of us.

Ali, Richard, Becca and Charlotte xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

Hello darlings, lovely pics again.  Thought I'd let you know Dee there is an all nighter in Peterborugh on the 17th Feb. Bet you want to come back for it.  It's at the Rugby club- bring back any memories?  I may go..............

I'll let you know, a whole night of Northern is just a bit too much.  Having a girls night tomorrow to sell my clothes, 4 bin bags full, yes i had a mega wardrobe sort out and can actually see what I've got now which is useful.  Keep in touch you lucky b*****s, lotsa love.

ps have booked New York with the girls on 21st June, yippee

Hello again you two.  Glad you have found the current bun.  So where to next? I think you said Oz , how long will you be there for?  Went to see Mel, yesterday and we were chatting about you guys, we both agreed that you both look so well and sooooo bloody happy, we think travelling the world suits Gary down to the ground.  Maybe he could be the next Richard Attenborough.  Well you two happy continued travels, it is so lovely to escort you around the world from the armchair. Weather here by the way is crap, very cold, had 2 days of fog, and gritters were out last night as snow is promised.  Keep rubbing in the factor 50, don't want to see you too tanned.  Lots of love D and A and Otto too of course 

It looks like you're having a great time!!! We wish we had as many friends as you have.....or is it you two posting all these messages on here under various pseudonyms and it is only Linda and I that is viewing your progress. Shades of Mr Bean? Seriously, we are looking forward to meeting up with you in Peyia at some point during 2007 over some beers and meze. Take care on the remainder of your fantastic adventure. Love from Linda & Nigel xxxx

Hi Dee & Gary,

Well it looks like you have hit it lucky with the weather  in the South Island.

We have just been up the north on the east side about one & a half hours drive from where we live and the water was lovely and warm and tell Gary the surf was great. We still think about you after meeting you down in Napier and we are hoping you are enjoying your trip round the south island. The kids start back to school in a week, so they are not happy about that and are getting out with their mates as much as possible at the moment. We have some other friends visiting from the UK this coming weekend, so the fridge will be full of beer and the BBQ will be on the go.

We look forward to seeing your pictures from the south island as i know you will have some fantastic shots down there, we all send our love, take care and look forward to hearing from you soon.

Love Gary, Elaine and all the Jackson Clan x

hi You two, the adventure continues huh.  Sounds as though you will never return!!! I just had a quicke week in Sharm EL Sheik with Mum and Dad just a lazy laying around the pool all dy type of trip.  Now we are planning to go to Philippines or malaysia in March, where are you off to next, assume Oz, saw a story last week of a guy scuba diving and ended up head first in a great white and lived to tell the tale.  Lovely to keep up with the news, lots of love. Derek angie and Otto.

  

Hi Both

 

Looking at your lovely pics of New Zealand - the waterfalls look lovely and the one in the mudbath enviable!!!

 

Jackie and I wish we were there with you.  Jackie is retiring next month so watch out - she will have lots of time for travelling.    But needs the money she says

Hi Tom,said he can still smell rotten eggs and he hasn't been there for 32 years The weather here in Cyprus is lovely and warm in the day until about 3pm then it cools down.  Glad you are still having a great time.

Joyce and Tom

 

Hi Gary & Dee,

Exactly 24 hours ago we were talking in the restaurant at Hanmer Springs. We are now home in Auckland after a most pleasant 2 weeks in the South Island.  You have my email addy if you have the time or need a backstop as you pass by this way. We may see you in Cyprus in a year or two. The very best to you both from Guy & Jennifer.  PS: Won't talk cricket.

 

Hello to you Both!!! It is so great to see you both having such a brilliant time. Isn't New Zealand stunning!! Did you know that kiwis are meant to have one of the highest sex drives in the world?....I have just spent the last week working my ****** off and then I look at you both and think ????? Still - am off to barbados for a couple of weeks next month and - the new job is giving me such a buzz I guess i don't mind really. Are you both really brown? Have you forgotten what wearing tights (socks in your caseGary - I hope...!!) feels like? We have had gale force winds here this week and I saw three juggernauts turned over in my travels!!! And Celebrity Big Brother is causing its usual media huricanes also. Don't you just wish you were back in the Uk!!!!! Lots of love and kisses and look forward to sitting in the sun with you some time in the future. If you ever want to visit the Uk and need a place to stay in Devon then the doors always open.
