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

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

Hi sweetheart!

Great to have spoken to you a few times and glad your foot's ok now .

Hope the journey to NZ airport and then flight to Oz were ok? What are your plans for Sydney - hope that our relations can help out there?!?

Granny said that it was warm there when they went in the summer - hope so.

Keep in touch - lots of love - Mum & Dad xx

Glad you enjoyed NZ. Oz should be much warmer. Hope your feet is completely healed now.

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

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

Hi - glad to hear things are still going smoothly (or is there something you're not telling us??!?)

Weather still blooming awful here!

My Summer Serenade concert tomorrow night - altho it's a misnomer - no sign of Summer!!

Love Mum, Dad, James, Claire & Granny xxxx

Bula! Good to hear from you again - pretty amazing that you've got time to correspond when it sounds like you're in paradise!!

Hope the snow in New Zealand has stopped by the time you get there! It's dry here today ...at the moment!!

All our love: Mum, Dad, Granny, James & Claire xxxxx

Carry on enjoying!!

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!!

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

Hi there. I have only just found this section. Sent an e-mail yesterday but will post on here from now on. Looking forward to reading more about your adventures. Enjoy and stay safe, Love Auntie Judith xx

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
