Hi there young lady,
good to hear you'll soon be on your way again. Say hi to East Africa for us, will ya! You'll love the diving at Fumba on Zanzibar if you get a chance.
By the way, whaddya mean NZ missed out on a proper autumn: You just grew up in the seaon-less Far North, try Central Otago or Canterbury in March, April and May! Glorious!
Cheers from the Desert Foxes, and Merry Christmas and all that.

Hi
I am writing this on behalf of Tusks who is very excited to hear that he will be living inParnell next year! ( And Blue hopes he will be lodging there too for a while, and being nursed by a new trainee if he needs it! )
Glad you are off on more travels. (We may be too next year but that's another story as they say...)

Thailand Here We Come..
Hi Liv
Great blog update and loved the photos - so good to see you making the most of EVERYTHING! Good for you. Reservation made for Lamphu Hse in Bangkok for next week so thanks for that.. meanwhile we are off to the Bay of Islands for 48 hours, rain (again)notwithstanding..
What a lovely famiy it looks like you have on all your photos - I am proud to be part of the extended whanau!
That Auckland student we both know and love finally used up a bit of her energy on an evening of soccer practice this week - what a relief for all concerned!! Actually she is a big help to me right now, catching up on office work, but I have to endure travel craving attention span losses from her from time to time!!
Go well,
love from Doug and I,
Jane xx
