If you haven't been sick for a long long time, say more than 10 years, doing so is a mixture of sweaty discomfort and utter wonder. It is of course unpleasant, but the volume, speed of exit, colour and smell are all fascinating. How can my normally well behaved body do such a thing? To do so whilst experiencing moderate turbulence, wedged…
In order to delay James' meeting with the reality of being a civilian, we have decided to go travelling for a few months.On 02 November we jump on a plane bound for Rio and plan to visit Brazil, Ecuador, The Galapagos, Argentina, Chile, New Zealand, Australia and Honk Kong, returning to UK in about June/July 09 (unless everyone seems to be unemployed, fuel prices are sky high and a loaf of bread requires a mortgage (which cannot be secured for love nor money), in which case we will …

Thoroughly enjoying your blog of your latest trip! You're a natural born blogger James, each of your posts causes me to lol at least once. Glad you and J are enjoying your travels, and that I can also enjoy them from the airconditioned comfort of my leather lounge with a drink in hand. Cheers!

I have followed this blog and your travels since it started. It has been fun to read of your exploits and attempts to rid the world of the evil of alcohol. Sorry it has ended, but everything has to end sometime. I am looking forward to catching up with you in Sydney in 2010.
Look after yourselves.

Home safe! Was lovely to see you both and I am proud to feature in your blog - I'm still laughing about the ridiculousness of that couple of hours ...!

Can't believe you've mentioned us! You're sooo sweet.
As Jodie starts work I'm about to stop. Friday will be my last day as I'll be due two weeks from then. Then my intention is to sleep as much as possible while I still can.
I'm loving reading all about your adventures - my world is about to become quite small I expect...
Will let you know about the big event when it happens! M and J xxx

Thank you for your postcards: we got the New Zealand one a couple of weeks ago. Darrochs house looks to be fantastic! It made us jealous and want to travel again. We've already begun planning to visit you, if you don't make it back from Aus.
Missing our child free friends. Emily sends her love to her fairy god mother! (pictures of her on our blog at http://www.the-maltbys.blogspot.com/).
Looking forward to catching up - whenever that may be!

Hi James - not sure if you are still using your hotmail e-mail address, but you should be aware that some idiot seems to have got hold of it (just received a random e-mail from 'you' urging me to log onto a web site to buy cheap electronics!)
