Hi Nicola, Hope everything's still going well for you - I'll keep tabs on you from India. I'm 1 week in now and only just got over the culture shock. Be in touch, love Steve

Hi Nicola, Good to keep up to date -sorry to hear about Paul's accident, deck chairs have a mind of their own and can be pretty lethal things!! Off on our travels 1 week from now to S.A. for 2 months, hope to keep in touch. Steve has a travel blog site up and running from India, sounds pretty horrible where he was for the first few days, so hope he has moved on by now. Take care Nic, sounds like you are having a wonderful time!! Love S & K
Keith & Sylvia
Hope you had a soooper Christmas Day, Nic, and all the very best for 2008. You will be celebrating the New Year before we do, no doubt nursing a celebratory head long before we get round to the champagne. Thinking about it, it's probably 2008 with you just about now! Your mum & dad made Christmas for us, Sylvia is laid up with a dislocated knee cap, very handy at such a busy time! Take care and go on enjoying life in the far flung parts of the world! Lots of loveXX
