David & Loraine Jo & Ryan, Have a great Xmas. We'll be out with the family as usual on Boxing Day. We'll have to raise a glass to mark your absence. Ro says he still doesn't know what he wants for Xmas, but he hopes santa brings him another Beatles album. Strange boy! We look forward to seeing you both in the New Year and to hear all your stories! Take care. Lots of love, David & Loraine xxx

Dil and Eric Hey there you two. What an adventure you are having. Not too late to say Happy Birthday Jo, as it is still your birthday week and I have a treat every day for the week. It seems that you are having six months of treats. It's grey and very November here. Look forward to seeing you in January. Enjoy the rest of the trip- looking forward to hearing about New Zealand. Love from next door xxxxxxx be it about 11,000 miles away

mark salter Hi. Great blog - am green with envy esp the Cambodia bit. How did you choose your route - or did you just make it up as you went along? You will make a Geographer yet. When I pressed photos - none, pressed video - none: hope to see both on your return.

Jo's mum Hi! You both missed a great party for Grandad's 80th. He even managed to come up with a joke we hadn't heard before for his speech. I had a cake made, Louise did the invitations and Diane organised the venue & menu etc. Quite a few of grandad's cousin's were there. He did his 10 mile sponsored walk on his birthday with friends, raising quite a lot for the hospice where nan was. We missed you. Hope all is going well.

Beth Hey! Cambodia sounds really interesting. I can definitely relate to SE Asian karaoke - hilarious! I hope you also managed to catch a glimpse of some of their soaps, more national treasures. I hope Australia is going well! xx

David Hello Jo and Ryan! I've taken a while to get anywhere near up to speed with your blog, but it has been well worth the effort chums! ;) I'm up to Vietnam, but shattered after another day at school here in Budapest - I shall continue tomorrow! Lots of love xxx
