sandra Hi all! Still raining here! Never mind cos we are off to meet Yogi in a few days!!! can't wait. glad all is going well and that the cocktails are good!

Maggie This is sounding amazing Karen. Meant to wish Happy Birthday to Lewie! Love to him and Tess.xxxx

sandra Sounds like paradise! Glad you are all having such a great time. X

Sandra Dear kids, Loved the story about Mum pretending to be in the F Word Kitchen... tell her I can't wait to get all of her 'top tips'! Really glad you are having a great time in Vietnam and hope you are looking forward to Cambodia. X

Matthew Smith Hi its matt here. looks ike you three are having a great time! :-) Can't wait to hear all of your stories when I next see you next. Ps. Lewie I am watching the world cup final as I speak.

Maggie Hi Karen! Don't know if this comment field is for contacting you or not, but loving your stories of Nam! Keep them coming, and say Hi to the kids.xx

rita Hi,certainly managing to cram plenty of activities in. I would have loved the massage etc. Good you met some Spanish football fans, sounded like a good night. Will need to look out for a diamond for Dougal, pet shop in Troon has expanded into the shop next door and have a big new range including the sparkly collars and deo/perfume - not quite Dougal though, he would rather stink!!! I'm all packed now and raring to go, we leave on Sunday lunchtime. I will try to keep up in internet cafes, 'blog' is great idea!!! Will you ever be able to settle at home again after this journey?? Look after yourselves, lots of love and a big hug each Mum/Gran xx

rita Hi, good you slept on the train I imagine even with fantastic scenery 15 hours could have been pretty boring. Town/hotel sounds beautiful, take plenty of photos. Tell Lewie to go for the massage, get the sports one that footballers get. If he thinks its too siccy tell him to get his legs waxed-that will sort him out!!! Enjoy you're snorkeiling and cooking - look forward to hearing all about it. Oh dear - life here is dull!!! I'll have more exciting things to tell next week. Love Mum/Granxx

Sandra Sounds as if the places you are visiting are amazing and that you are all having a great time. It's been raining here pretty much since you left so you are not even missing the sunshine. Roof is finished and I have arranged for the eejit to come tonight AGAIN! hopefully the saga will be over soon. Tell Lewie and Tess that Andrew was up for the weekend and taht he missed them ... think he wanted another water fight! Can't wait for my holiday and some heat!! X

rita mitchell Hi, well its sounding better every time you write. Think I'll need to book up and go next year before the mega loads of tourists arrive. Saw your photos today, liked the dress Tess, did you buy it? All the food looks lovely, hope you are learning the recipies, can't wait to come round for dinner!!! Stormy here today, sea is rough and looking fantastic, funny though its not cold!! Hope to hear from you soon. Lots of love Mum/Gran xx

the dislexsic wow, what an awesome mum you are sounds like a full on mega adventure! stay safe.x
