Hi there,

Having a great time in Ko Lanta. Been relaxing by the pool most of the day whilst the guys where out with the scoters. My parents decided four days ago that they also wanted to come here (I believe our pictures might have tempted them) so they bought two plane tickets and arrived today. We'll be meeting up tomorrow in Krabi. Keeo in touch everyone. Linda xx

Just seen the web site of your hotel-the Phuket Gardenhome -yes we agree it looks fab, book us in for a month !!!!

Hi Phil and Lin

OOps just written you a long letter and accidently wiped it all off so here I go again !!!
Phi phi looks one of the prettiest places you have visited so far -in fact it looks like paradise.The scenery is amazing and you both look like film stars. You look so relaxed and well and we can clearly see you are having a fantastic time -your tans are looking good too !
How on earth did you manage to get involved with the lady boys and what did Tom say to upset one of them?I dont think it was such a good idea to call an Irish man "Paddy" although I wonder where his sense of fun was !
Glad the Mickey Mouse ponchos came in useful. That down pour reminded us of Florida.
Well it didnt really come as a big surprise to read that you left your passports behind -thank goodness you managed to get your boat on time !I bet you hadnt panicked as much since you lost your luggage in Paris !!
It was a lovely surprise to hear from you on Mothers Day.Andrew gave me some flowers from you and him and he also gave me copies of all your photos so far.I have already been showing them off to everyone I see !!!
How long has Tom got left ? I bet you are going to miss him. Ask him to bring anything back which could ease your luggage load providing of course that he has room in his bag !
Today has been wet and miserable and the thought of that pool Linda was in makes us feel very envious
I bet you are looking forward to Lindas mum and Thomas joining you -we are so jealous !!Give them our love and we hope you all have a lovely time together.We miss you very much but so thrilled you are enjoying your holiday. love mum .Now its Dads turn.
Quick sports news - Leeds down to 4th after only 3 points out of 12 - looking like the play-offs. Harrogate Town also 4th. Cricket one-dayers start this week.

Take Care, Love Mum and Dad xx

Hey everyone,
There's some new pictures and two journal entries from Phuket and Ko Phi Phi for you.
XXXXXXXX Linda

HI, Just seen your latest photos and they are fab ! We must agree with you that Singapore does look wonderful, it looks quite like Hong Kong ,huge sky-scrapers and very modern and clean .So pleased to hear you managed to get into the cricket ground with a bit of queue jumping!!! Think you are so clever with your haggling prices ,especially with the taxi drivers. You both look so relaxed and happy we hope you are managing to get a bit of a tan.Why did Tom not travel with you to Singapore ??? How are your tummies and have you managed to avoid any insect bites?
On the home front we got a phone call from Andrew on his birthday to say it had poured down all day on his first day so hadn't been able to paraglide, he was hoping for better weather round about Tuesday .He says he is the youngest there by about 10 years !!! Not heard from him since.
I have just finished decorating the dining room and quite pleased with it. It does seem a lot brighter and much better being more plain.I hope to start the downstairs loo next week then thats enough for now!! (until I spot something else that needs doing ) Looking foreward to my Easter holiday at the end of next week its all of 5 weeks since my last one and it seems ages ago !Write back soon love mum .Its Dads turn now so i will let him talk sport !!
Yes - fantastic win at the cricket - you must have brought them good luck! Terrible result for Leeds the other night though - 0-1 at home to Crystal Palace. Must go now to watch FA Cup on TV.
Take Great Care, Love Mum & Dad xxxx

New pics and journals from Bombay and Singapore - for your pleasure folks

Hey, Just leaving Singapore now and catching a quick flight to Thailand - Phuket and meeting up with Tom again. Loved Singapore so weve decided to spend a few more days here in 6 weeks. This place is actually challenging Melbourne and San Francisco to top my favourite cities leader board! Pictures to follow shortly. PS Dad went to watch England again in Bombay 2 days ago. Saw Englands last 2 wickets fall and Indias first 3 fall. Anderson seems to be on form.

Hey Mum and Dad the picture of me and Lin water rafting has been added to the darjeeling folder. Sorry but there was only one picture on mark and James's website we could copy and its not that impressive!

Still got the ebay addiction i'm afraid!! Love those photos....Phil, looking yummier than ever there pal ;)
