Stefan wanted to thank you for his card and present.
He rang up your dad aswell.
He had a lovely Birthday, lots of cards and presents.
He is looking forward to his party.

I was going to say I will save you a piece of cake, but it might get a bit mouldy before you get back; anyway Stef will not leave much.
Can't wait to see your next instalment and your photos.
Love and kisses
Uncle Pete

Hey Katie
found this on this website

You don't have to wait until you get back from your trip to share all your photos with your friends & family. After all, they'll all be desperate to see you (even if it's not in the flesh). It's nice to put faces to the names of people you meet, and you can make them soooo jealous with images of stunning scenery, beaches etc.

We'll even automatically shrink your photos to a web-friendly size to make uploading as quick and easy as possible (make sure you remember to keep copies of the original full quality files - we don't store the larger images and can't accept any liability for lost photographs). But there's no limit on how many you can upload!
UPLOADING YOUR PHOTOS
Digital cameras are the way forward when it comes to making your life easy. No processing, no films and the quality is usually pretty good. Plus wherever you are in the world, you can just connect it up to an internet-enabled PC, log-in to your STA Travel Journal website, and upload - easy as that.

Love your new entry in your Journal, keep it up.

Love and kisses
Uncle Pete

Heya,

Can't wait to see all your photos - I'm sure you'll realise how to do it in no time at all because you're such a clever bunny! ~Wish you had kicked the evil cow in the shins - she would've deserved it!
I am now about to go to joyous work - it is 13:15 (pm obviously)
To prove nothing has really changed - I've lost my purse and have no idea where I've put it - I've been looking since Sunday/Monday for it - can't find it for the love of God.

Have a lovely time on TrekAmerica

Well Miss Boba

Im sorry that i missed saying goodbye to you but i hope that you have the most amazing adventure where ever you go.

Remember what i said if i find out that you have used that morning after pill then there will be trouble young lady!!!

Claire and I are off to Portsmouth today to take part in some scientific experiment!! we know nothing about it so it should be very fun.

Don't no if Claire told you about Saturday night. I got very drunk and ended up kissing your sister! there is some photographic evidence so i cant even deny it. We then proceeded on to Walkabout where i tipped a drink over her head and then decided to take a walkabout myself and forgot to mention to anyone where i was going. Luckily your sister used her common sense (it was a shock to me when i realised that she had some) and found me sat on a wall outside feeling rather sick and incrediably drunk! (please excuse my spelling i didnt have any sleep last night)

Hope you have fun on Trek America and we will all see you very soon!!!

Love Yas xxxxxxxx

Hellooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
I have just popped in to say hi.
I am writing this at work (don't tell the boss!)
This is strange but great being able to communicate and keeping up with your travels.
When you have time try and get some photos up.
Hope you are using the journal we gave you and not just for boy's telephone numbers!!!!
I THINK YOU SISTER MUST HAVE BEEN DRUNK WHEN SHE POSTED HER LETTER!
Happy travelling
xxxxxxx

Heya,

Hope you're having a lovely time. Just realised that you said final installment - where are you going after New York?

Love Lizzie xxx

Heya,

I just have to say I love reading your thrilling stories about life in the big apple! I'm glad you didn't go with that strange man for pizza and equally glad that you stepped on the other man for stealing your shoe and using it as a door stop!! Hope everything is lovely and that you're making lots of friends!

Love Lizzie xxx

Yay for internet cafes! I can't imagine not hearing from you until April! Glad to see/hear that you've arrived safely! The weather is ok here bit rainy and rubbish in the morning but has brightened up. Hope to hear more travelling stories soon! Miss you lots but hope you're having a lovely time!

Hello sweetheart.
Did you survive the farewells? I hope the plane journey was not too long. How was it seeing New York the first time? We are looking forward to hearing what you have been upto on this messaging board. We are not going to say we are missing you, but what we are going to say is how much we love you and how we are so proud of you Katie.
The world is out there for you to enjoy, make the most of your experiences, savour every moment.
Lots of love Uncle Pete and Auntie Julie
