Hey Mel,

Hope you got there safely and aren't finding the huts too much of a shock?!! Awesome site, made me nostalgic about my travelling days.... Have a fabulous time and make sure you keep in touch with all your news. Can't wait to see your pics xx

 Hi Mel & Steve!!! 

Love the website, can't wait to hear from you soon!  Did you stay up all monday night packing?!  I'm on my last night shift and it's really quiet, nothing ever happens in Reading!!  But will keep you updated with all the dull goings on anyway!

Wishing you both the most amazing time, miss you already, Laura xxxxx

Will keep in touch.

Hi you two!!

Eventually got Jess to help me get in the website!! I will get her to put it in my favourites. Guess by now you are in Ghana and loving it. At present getting ready to go out for Russ's meal. It's raining here, guess it's hot and sunny where you are. Back to work tomorrow in the Christmas rush. Need to earn the money so I can send out your own aid relief in the form of (from Mum)!!

 Take care Love Mum x

Are you nearly there yet??  Have a wicked time, 'Live the dream' and keep steppy away from those Lady-boys!!

Hi guys!

I'm SO excited for you about to start The Big Trip - even jealous as I miss those exciting travelling days that were the beginning of my trip and cant WAIT to get back to it when i've saved enough cash! Currently 'trapped' in Melbourne working as a legal recruiter...can't complain really-! Just wanted to say have an amazing time and I hope you'll keep this already beautiful website filled with all your stories and pics, I'm certain they'll be fabulous to see!

And if you happen to read this before you leave, an essential (and somewhat overlooked-!) packing item from someone who learned the hard way is a BALL OF STRING! We used it as a washing line, to mend a broken backpack, to seal dodgy cardboard boxes of bargain presents to be sent home, to stop leaking plastic bags filled with wet clothes after trekking in the jungle...a GODSEND! Tee hee...

Lots of love and hugs from Oz, see you when we all get home...whenever that may be-! Carly xxx xxx xxx

I cannot work out if you are more of a geek for creating this site, or I am for being the first person to post on it; which by the way surely means I deserve some sort of special present (on return). 

Anyhow I wish you a safe and memorable trip, best of luck have fun and I look foward to catching up when your back

Hi Steve and Mel,

Just wanted to wish you well and send my best wishes for a fantastic time travelling. It was lovely to see Steve the other evening and say farewell in person! I know you will both have a wonderful time and I am extremely impressed that you are spending a month at an orphanage-I'm sure it will be an amazing experience! Keep safe and take care!

Love,

Vicky C.xxx
