bank holiday in the uk and the sun is shining! nikki you have to be in birmingham at 1500 on 29th and can leave after 1600 on 30th. Back to main office on 31st - welcome to the land of the workers! text mum when you land so we are up. travel safely and see u monday.

Hello again from a very wet New York. We have had to buy another umbrella as it is so wet! Just been to Century 21 and spent many $s. Went to see Les Mis on Broadways last night it was a very good show but probably not quite as good as the U.K. production.

Thought we might have got another message from you - but perhaps you are finding it difficult to get internet access. Hope you are OK anyway.

This will be our last message stateside as we head to the U.K. tomorrow. Lets hope it will be drier at home than here.

Take care - see you next Monday at Heathrow.

Miss you loads - lots of love.

Hi - we have left the cruise ship many lbs heavier and certainly PoundsSterling lighter!! had a great time and now looking forward to doing some sightseeing back in New York. Weather has been very variable. Will probably have to buy a sweatshirt in new York as it is quite cool today.

Sorry we can't view your photos but will look forward to seeing them on your return. Hope you enjoy Bali and take some time to rest and relax before your return to the U.k.

Will post another message before we leave New York.

Hello from St Thomas - this is the first time we have managed to get onto the blog site. We're having agreat time and are glad to have caught up with you. Weather has been a bit mixed - typical caribbean showers at this time of the year. Ship is as awesome as the Grand but al ittle bigger. On Aloha deck!! Been to Magens bay today - even Dad went into the sea it was so calm and warm. Don't faint but Dad has also been in the gym!! although only the once.

Will catch up with you again when we get into New York - we are on the ship's internet and they charge by the second!!

Its Island night tonight - last night we watched Casino Royale on the big outdoor screen - really awesome especially as they provide comfortable sun loungers, blankets and free popcorn!

Catch up with you soon

Love Mum and dad.

Hey hows it going, blogging (if thats what's is called) from Kos. Warm and sunny 38 actually - probably a lot warmed than Sydney. Spending most days by the pool and hitting the harbour area for food and drink at night. Have booked a day at the waterpark and a bay cruise to look forward to.

Glad you got to see an aussie rules game - we saw the Sydney Swans too who were they playing? Can you imagine that's what Steve used to do!!!!

Really enjoying our relaxing time here and I hope you enjoy the rest of your travels - will try to blog again but not sure.

Lots of love and keep having fun

Hi - fancy doing sky diving - glad we knew about it after the event - heart palpitations didn't quite kick in whilst reading your message. Glad to know that you are both making the most of your travelling - continue to enjoy it.

We are now in New York - although it is pouring with rain!! typical left Heathrow in full sun, was sunny when we arrived but this morning not so good. Off to the cruise terminal in a couple of hours and hopefully we will catch the sun again in the caribbean.

Have fun and we'll catch up with you on our next stop - Bermuda
