P.S.S Remember;
"To have an adventure is not just to hug the right side of a notional dividing line, it's to cross and entire physical and emotional landscape, rainforest to icecap, euphoric thrill to misery and back again. It makes the memory of everyday life seem both enticingly safe and boringly routine. But once you've had a glimpse of that seductive scenery, you can't just draw back the blinds and go back to your armchair."

Rachy, that was fantastically written!! I LOVED reading it; made me want to be there just for the ruggedness of it all, though maybe you'd say I'm idealising a bit? So well written though; you're hilarious. Sucks about your bruises though...

Alice
Glad to hear you're ok l'il sis!! Ooh and I feel special being called your big sis, at first I didn't even realise the comment was aimed at me! LOL.
Reason I haven't updated so frequently is that I haven't been having that many crazy adventure but you, on the other hand my dear, have, hence you should update and keep making us jealous!! :P
Wow, your plans seem to change on a weekly - daily? - basis. That sounds a lot of fun cycling round Europe, following in Mum's footsteps (or bike-steps I should say)? Speaking of her, you may want to start thinking about sending her birthday present now as I imagine post to the Seychelles will take a while (it's 5-9 days airmail from the States, I know).
You can send it to:

Yeah, bring on the competition!! Cycling round Europe will take you to heaps of places. But did you know Alaska AND New York AND Hawaii only count as one country? :P That's awesome you're going to see Maryanna and I'm sure Hawaii will be a nice change from the coldness of Alaska - do you know what temperature it falls to in winter (I guess it'll be autumn/early winter when you are)? Great for skiing and stuff tho!

Thanks for being a concerned older sister. Today I am fine, just yesterday was a bit exhausting! Hehe by the end of the year I will have overtaken you I think, all though I am sure you will keep "popping" off to random places!
What are you doing when you finish uni? Will you be old and start working?
latest plan - July, August, September and October cycling around Europe. Then November - New York (being a tourist but only quickly cos its expensive a?°, then alaska (visit Katheren etc), Hawaii (see Marryanna and get tan) and then home.
You wanna pop over and join me for any of the above? Its so annoying that youl have left the states before I get there... stupid time frames!
