Well unfortunately my beach trip has ended now and i have been slumped back to reality by a heinous amount of work including 2 travel plans before i go on leave to get wed! I am just holding on to the knowledge that 2 weeks from now i will be sitting on a beach in the Maldives sipping cocktails for real - i'll get one in for you too, just let me know what you'd like, although i may have to drink it for you (i'm such a martyr!)
Sounds like you are having an awesome time so far though and you have been to some amazing places, although i must admit i'm not too jealous of the cold, still at least its not the wind tunnel of our desks at Atkins!
Anyway best get back to travel planning or they may chain me to my desk!
Keep on Smiling!

Hellooooooooooooooooooo Mon!!!!!!!!!!!!
how are u getting on NZ? did u have a lovely time in LA after we went? Flight back was looonnngggg but I slept for most of it which i think rather shocked Franziska as apparently there was really bad turbulence at one point but i was totally out of it.
Anways what are you doing with yourself now? I thought i would update you about my little world altho really not all that interesting. Popped back to my oxford house for a booze up on friday and got the no. of a fitty named matt who text me today but I have decided to make him stew for a few hours before responding! got very very very drunk (why change the habit of a lifetime) and danced like a crazy person but who cares! then came back yesterday and started working in a pub that i have worked in on an d off for about 3 years, as i realised that i spent to much in the states (like everybody i feel) so now am working fultime while people are on holiday as cover which is fine by me. back studying on 18th (well thats freshers week so i think probably anything other than studying will be happening!!)
Much love
Amy xxxxxxxx

Thought it was my turn to leave a message for everyone who has left me one so far. Hope things are good wherever in the world you are checking this. I am enjoying my last days of warmth and sunshine before flying to NZ where compared to the US and England it is cold. Once I get there I hope to upload some more photos although I have been told by a few people that the site is very slow.
Hei kaikki - tassa lyhyt viesti suomeksi. Los Angelesissa on silti laminita mutta olen ostanut uusia vaateita kerran Uudessa Zeelanissa on talvi. Toivotavasti kaikki voivat hyvin je hei kaikille suomessa ja ruotissa. Minulla on kahdentoista tunnin lento huomena niin olen ostanut lehtia etta mina voin niita lukea.
So bye from the United States.

Hey you,
You said have not left a message yet, so thought I better. Bit weird, reading about TP things on your site, seems can not get away from TP and GIS things at the moment. Sounds like your having fun, enjoy it whilst your there and make the most. We have the 'exciting' world of TP in the not so sunny UK which is waiting for you on your return.
I am winning with my dream team in work and with my mates at the moment and my football team won a game (3-0) when the opposition did not turn up. Atkins football in 10 days, getting quite excited about beating Bomber (neil w) in the cycling. He is getting competitive - northerners!! Day later I will be presenting myself the Atkins football champions trophy.
Enjoy the time you have left in US. Get some nice pics of NZ when your there, you can miss out the TP ones if you like. Speak soon..
ANDY - Congrats on your posting. Think once its all over, would not want to walk into a Uni again.

Hi Mon
Here's your second installment of Debbie's exciting trip to..er..work. At least I've had the chance to look at all of your amazing pictures whilst sitting at my desk.
Yosemite looks gorgeous abd I loved the picture of the bison. I showed that one to some of my workmates to brighten their day.
that moose looked very scary. As long as it wasn't in your bedroom staring at you...would give me nightmares!
Have taken you advice not to go to Nevada, not that I'd planned to go there anyway...but still...looks like you're with a really nice bunch of people, which always makes a journey like that a lot more pleasant.
Looking forward to meeting up with you when you're working near Warren Street so you can tell me all about it.
Take care and keep having fun,
love Debbie

Hey Mon glad you are still having a great time. sorry to hear you are cold though...layers are the way forward and also means that you dont have to carry as much!
Love your photos... glad you havent forgotten about Transport Planning and Geography! Talking of Transport Planning - at work its like you are still in Winchester as I found another TP with your email address on the other day... luckily you didnt slate this one though!!
Andy
Hey Mon! Sounds like you're having a great time! Keep up the good work.
I got the Lectureship at Nottingham which is FANTASTIC and can't wait to get started. Start in 3 weeks so all a bit mental and confusing. Other than that life is taking its usual complex, unexpected and meandering course!!
Surely you can use your sharpened elbow on said bears??!!

Hey Mon..I've just got back from my weekend in Dublin (well long weekend!) and it was freezing and rainy there too. Glad I was in a B&B not camping though!! Had a great time, got to sample some culture - not just the inside of bars and shopping malls. Tried my best at learning Gaelic but didnt get beyond 'cheers'. Hope you're having fun and all those Annette's top travel tips have been useful.....

hola monica!
sounds like you are packing loads in! hope you are enjoying yourself and that you're meeting lots of nice new people. Camping sounds horrendous to me....but probably just your cup of tea! I'm stuck in the office but only 2 weeks until i'm in africa on a beach...can't wait!
am very impressed with this website! hope you keep updating it. take care, lots of love Dhana xx

Hei Monica Aarre
On ollut ihana lukea sinun matkasta tähän asti. Isä kertoi että olet soittanut pari kertaa ja hän kertoi sinun uutisia meille ja että voit hyvin. Odotan että saan puhua kanssasi kun pääsemme kotiin ja jos sinä voit soittaa. Olimme Paulilla ja Ritvalla neljä päivää ja nyt olemme Annen luona. Huomenna menen käymään Helsingissä olen vaan päivän.
Hyvää matkan jatkoa sinulle olet ajatuksissamme joka päivä ja ajattelemme Mariellin kanssa missä mahdat olla mitä tehdä.
Voi oikeen hyvin ja syö hyvin että jaksat jatkaa matkaa.
Rakkain terveisin
Äiti, Marielle ja muut täältä suomesta

Hi Mon,
Today i am in Viña del Mar, Chile sitting on the beach enjoying a few cocktails - its never too early for a cocktail! Later on i am going to go to the spa and be pampered for the day, after all what else have i got to do, think i might have an indian head massage or something!
Ooh back to reality i am just sitting here at my desk which is now papered with the lovely beach landscapes you sent me imagining i am somewhere else, unfortunately the MapInfo screen in front of me is making it difficult!
Sounds like you are having a wonderful time though, but i bet i can make you jealous! - i have more bus studies to do! i can tell you are getting green eyes from here!! I'd much rather be doing bus studies than seeing the world!
Well, i guess i'd better get back to my scoping study - buses are great, yippee!
