All sounds good - just a warning to NEVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES get on a moped in vietnam, or anywhere come to that.

Hi guys, so glad that you've actually done it now after wanting to for so long. Very, very jealous though - has brought back my travelling bug which I thought I had supressed! I'm going to Lapland for my christmas work party (how random, I know?!) and then Rio for the carnival in February - hopefully. Both however are going to be very short lived and won't be nearly anything like the experiences that you're having. Hmm after seeing your pics I think I may have to have a re-think and make some more plans!! Anyway, it looks wonderful, and you both look very happy. Keep me posted and take care. Helen xx

Hi Nicola and Michael,

Hope you're both OK. I have to admit I haven't really been keeping up to date with your travel blog, but from what I have read- it sounds like you're both having an amazing time! I have half term next week, so I promise to catch up on your entries. I'm looking forward to seeing the pictures that your sis is going to upload!! :o) Nicola- glad you kept up with the hiking- I knew you would with all that work you did at the gym before you left!!

Anyway hope to hear from you soon

Ive already seen a lovely one of michael in some sort of triangular hat...you wouldnt want to miss that!! x

Hi
Enjoying hearing about your exploits abroad, you both bring it to life in a real way, you certainly fit 'the max' in!
Ordered a new direct debit form from Nationwide today, without speaking a word, just pressing buttons on the phone, so we'll wait & see on that one!
I need to look up flights for NZ, as time's moving on, & I have to produce a power point presentation for next Thursday, yikes!
Won't ramble on as it'll bore everyone who sees this, maybe you can delete mine (!), but I'm going to a party on Saturday as an Aussie backpacker, so do you know if we've got a hat with corks on anywhere at home, or have you got one at home Michael?
Catch you later, take care, have fun,
Love Mum XXX

Hey pixie/mj! Sounds like you're having a wicked time...I'm not jealous at all ;) Ah well next year ay...!! the photo cd hasn't arrived yet but am keeping an eye out for it...will upload the pics as soon as it arrives. Kate and Brendan are back from their travels so going home for a night out with them this weekend...if you have any questions let me know and I'll ask them for you!! At work so best crack on...take care :) x x x

Hello, we're enjoying your travel log. Everythings o.k. here. Dad sold your car, money in the bank. Not as much as you'd hoped for but we're glad its gone to a good home! We have a letter to be signed re your pension . How do we do that? Weve booked a short break to France in a couple of weeks and are looking forward to it. Dad is feeling jealous about your chinese cooking adventure and hopes you will pass on any expertise to him. Everyone seems well here (Im still blowing well!)Ive passed on this site to various people who were interested. Auntie Ann and Uncle Gerard were asking after you. Bye for now, take care, love mum and dad.
P.S. I hope the mossies didnt annoy you too much.

Pleased to hear you are having fun and taking a lot of exercise! Do you think it would good for me and Dad next year? Sounds a bit too strenuous to me. Perhaps they do a tour for oldies!!
The food sounds wonderful, hope you're not drinking too much of the beer - isn't there any wine? At least Nicola will be feeling healthy every morning, which can't be bad. Dad is in Bridgenorth all weekend - raking in the money - it's just me and Madeleine here - and I am dying from a cold, and spreading it to Madeleine. Keep your eye on your bank account.
Patrick is at Plymouth today for the football.
Cheerio for now - Love Mum, Dad, Madeleine etc.. xxx
Ps Don't forget if you see any childrens clothes that are suitable for school, buy them and send them to us, or pictures of temples, etc..

This journal is a fab idea - it's great that we can all keep tabs on what you're up to!

I am extremely jealous of you both - it makes me want to go travelling too... although I suppose there is the slight problem of an LPC to finish...

I'm sorry to hear about the drinks situation - fingers crossed that in the next place you go to reefs will be the same price as water!!

Looking forward to reading your next entry, and hoping that you'll be able to download some pics too.

Hi you two
Sounds UNREAL - looking forward to seeing some of the pictures - everyone at work is fascinated by your tales too!! - keep it up, it's almost as if I was there too - well impressed with your musings on the whole experience - must have taken ages though - you should get lazy michael to write some!
Nothing much to report - everything's pretty dull here - I'm going to mum's tomorrow for the weekend, so will get her to have a look too.
Take care
love Mad xx

Glad you got there safely! I bet it seems like the wedding never happened to you!
We are really looking forward to going to Las Vegas. We leave Hatherleigh to go Bristol about 5:30am Sat and our flight leaves at 10:30am so hope all goes well on our 12 hour flight and that we find the hotel ok being complete janners!!

William is poorly bless him hes got a stinking cold and so does Amelia apparently.

Weve watched the wedding dvd and seen the photos they are both great cant wait for you to see them.

Missing you loads already. Take care. big kiss from William.
Have ordered our wedding sunrise picture its fantastic. Quite cloudy but the sun beams are shining down. cant wait till that arrives.

No other goss at the mo will keep you posted!
Lots of Love
Katie Benny and Williamxxxxxx
