Heading to Johannesburg late tomorrow night on an 11 hour flight which should be plea…

Mum! Hope the 11-hour flight went quickly and that you're enjoying your safari!? We've just got back from France (14 hour journey!!) and just as we arrived in Bolton, it began to rain! Sounds as though you had a similar effect on Perth!! Hope to speak to you soon, sweetheart, but especially hope that everything's going well and you're having fun!! All our love - Mum & Dad, James & Claire xxxx

Mum! So glad you got to meet up with cousin Mary & Auntie Girlie - in spite of your hot chocolate-coated mobile phone!! Whale-watching sounds amazing. Have you seen all the usual things - Opera House, revolving restaurant, etc....? Looking forward to hearing all about it. Love Mum & Dad (+Claire & James, of course!!) xxxx

Judith Hi Louise, Keep thinking about you. Hope all is going as well as you want. What an adventure! In my day it was exciting hitch hiking across France from uni. Expect the tan's coming along by now. Will we recognise you? Looking forward to more photos -though can't seem to open the New York ones for some reason - will try again. Love Auntie Judith xx

Linda Hello again. Couldn't open your New York pics but I know how hard it is to post stuff when you're not on your home computer. Hope you've got warm clothes cos it is winter in NZ and I remember it was pretty chilly on the Soth Island even when we were there in Dec- supposedly their summer. Tip for NZ- try to see Rotorua! Best wishes, Linda

It's dry here today ...at the moment!! All our love: Mum, Dad, Granny, James & Claire xxxxx Carry on enjoying!!

Mum! Hi - loving reading your blog - and getting e-mails - and it was great to chat to you, too!! Good luck with the matches which you're playing (as opposed to training the Fijian children). Still wet here - altho we saw a strange, vaguely remembered golden sphere in the sky for a short while this afternoon!! All our love!!

Mum Hi Louise! Still looking forward to knowing that you've arrived safely in Fiji. I see that Linda has put some tourist advice in - good - she knows what she's talking about when it comes to world travels. Stay safe - and please keep in touch!! All our love - Mum & Dad

Linda Was just telling your Mum what fond memories I have of Hawaii- got engaged there! Can recommend the Polynesian Cultural Centre. Enjoy the hula shows. If you've never tried snorkelling- Hanauma Bay (sp?) is a great place to give it a go. Best wishes from Canada, Linda

Mum! Hi Louise - great to see you've had chance to post something on your blog - and good to get an e-mail from you too. Are you going to be able to download some footage on the website as you go - or is that too time-consuming? Hawaii sounds wonderful!! Enjoy! All our love Mum & Dad xx

Mum! Hi sweetypie - so glad that you've started a blog, and shall look forward to keeping up with you. I'll pass the website address on to as many people as I think you'd like to know (and hear from). Pleased that you landed safely in sunny New York - have a wonderful time! All our love - Mum & Dad xx
