Meighan Hey Guys, sorry to hear the job market is not so hot for the Brits, hopefully something turns around. We can totally identify in so many ways. Not in job hunting but just the stress of having to make so many things happen with little access to a computer or phone. By the time we got to London we were ready to kill each other or somebody else. I also hear you on the backpacker grubby look - I can't take it anymore. Now that we are in Europe (even though I still only have a backpack) I have started to throw things away and buy a few new things. I even got a haircut! I told James that if I have one more picture of me in my black toque in front of a mountain I was going to freak out! Hahaha - oh the joys! We are home in 3 weeks - I am having all these mixed up emotions about it all and even though I am complaining I am truly jealous and excited for the adventures you are continuing to have. All the best. Take care and have fun (even in grubby clothes and with no money). Meighan (and James)
nicola Wow - despite the tough times your trip is just amazing - very jealous! I hope you find some work soon - I can only imagine the distress that not being able to get a new handbag is causing (I love your love of bags - it must have rubbed off on me at some point as my collection is growing!). look forward to hearing the next update. Been thinking of you both a lot - I've met a guy who shares my enthusiasm for camper vans - do you still have your van??? if you ever sell it please give me first refusal, I'm serious............nic xxxx

re: Bali, Indonesia
Alex Thomas Hey Sis, Lovely to hear you're safely back, and obviously happy to be home too! Good news re. your place becoming available again in October - sounds like Kismet! Good call re. leaving Bali if it wasn't for you. Better to return to a place you know you like & have a few more memorable days before boarding what must've felt like yet another plane! Hope to see you soon & loads of love x x x x x

re: Werriewood, New South Wales
Angie & Nath Hi Steve and Kathryn!! Sorry we've been sooooooo rubbish at staying in touch. No excuse, just Reece keeping us running around and worn out! Just spent the last hour reading through all your blogs - sounds like you've been having the most amazing time!! We're very jealous. Seems a million miles away from a grey, rainy UK on a Monday morning. Kathryn - you sound like you're a changed person! Sleeping in little huts up a mountain on a thin matress with no facilities??? Who is this imposter? What have you done with Kathryn??! Well done you. Gutted we didn't manage to see you when you came home last year. When are you due back next?? Keep loving every minute. Love Ang, Nath & Reece xxx
