Kava, word of warning for you Fiji bound fella's,a must do is a Kava ceremony,the root of the tree is mixed with water and then served in a coconut shell,tastes and looks like muddy dishwater,after one or two,a strange thing happens ,makes you talk and walk with a lisp !!!!

Hello! You've given us great entertainment in our graphics lesson (who knows what Freddie is doing here!)-I would say Beth was with us, but she's with Mr Mitchell in the other building, they've been doing that a lot recently!

Photos are cool, but took AGES to load...we've been here the last 1/2 hour looking. Especially love the ones off the Empire State Building.

Morrisons is missing you two... and Freddie says Matt is still losing at King of Fighters 1994, 4-8.

hay matt, glad you got to meet my friend in New York, He thought you both were very nice and enjoyed chatting with you and showing you around the NBC studios. Jimmy is so excited to come to London, see Lucy!!!, and take over your room..... If youre in St. Louis you can for sure stay here. Eric also said you can always stay with him in ny. be safe and hope to meet one day. bye from the heart of america... carolyn cooper also will have a name of a person for you to call in L A. will send it to you this week.

Photos are great, its good to see what you up to and it makes more sense of your diary!! LA now! I agree with Sarah (and Mark) go to Santa Monica and Venice beach - the palm tree are so cool! I think ive already told Andy this but there is a really nice restaurant at the end of the Santa Monica pier if you get a chance! Hollywood sign is a must, there is a track that you can go up that gets you closest but its still quite far away! Im sure you'l go to the Chinese Theatre show on sunset boulevard with the stars on the pavement! Not sure when your off to Vegas but I recomend a look at all the hotels as they are all so different and have their own themes. Grand canyon - if you're feeling rich, you can get a helicopter ride over it which is amazing but failing that there are many viewpoints ( i recomend sunset/sunrise as you see all the colours!!)
sorry - turned into a bit of an essay! Im sure you'll have a wicked time what ever you do.
Lucy xx

Hi lads! Pleased to hear you are having a good time. James gave me the site address and I love seeing the pictures.No doubt the lads and lassies wil be raising a few beers to you over the easter hols.

Photos are great, Dad has made them into a screensaver(how sad is that??)Glad you are both having such a brilliant time. Weather in LA looks good. Keep safe, love mum and dad xxxxx

Good to see your photos and to see you both looking so well, especially considering your diet!! Couple of the pics bear a scary resemblance to Dad! Hee hee! Hope LA brings more exciting experiences and warmer weather. Shame you missed out on the Oscars tho. Take care of yourselves. XxX

Hey! Great to see some photos at last, you both look like you're having a great time. Thanks 4 the photo Matt (although the real deal is always welcome!)
Hope LA is as much fun xxxxx

Sorry its me again, Mark's just given me a few places for u to go to in LA. Obviosuly the hollywood sign and the stars!Then Venice beach but there's loads of wierd people there so don't stay there at night!Santa Monica beach and then 3rd street cos its nice pedestranised area. And then if u go over to Westwood where all students are there's a place called Diddy-Reise to go to!
No idea if you've been up Empire state building yet but apparently best time to go is 4ish!

how cool you went to where home alone was!!Sounds like you're having loads of fun, SO jealous! Take care, lots of love Sarah xxxxx

Hi Matt
Just to say sorry I couldn't come to your farewell drinks last Wednesday - your Mum prob'ly said - I fell off my bike!!! Hope you both have a wonderful time - I think the website is a great idea! You must do the Staten Island ferry if you are still in New York - all you do is get a return ticket and ride the ferry over to Staten Island and back - it gives you a good look at Manhattan from a distance which makes for good photos. Also, I really liked climbing up inside the Statue of Liberty! Have fun and don't forget - 'Have a nice day now!' Chrissie
