Amanda and P-J's adventure to New Zealand. Here we will update you on the ups and downs while we are away and keep you up to date in whether we will return or not. If we have not blogged for a while it is not because we have been kidnaped and held for ransom, more we are boring and have not done anything worth blogging.

Mum & Dad Delighted to know that your new venture has started well, you had a good and comfortable flight by Air Cananda and you enjoyed your short stay in Vancouver. Hope this continues into your next journey and in NZ. House is already so quiet here. Missing you loads. Awaiting to talk to you both soon.

Mummy South Hope you have a smooth flight and manage to sleep at the right times. Sorry I couldn't make it to Heathrow to see you off. Enjoy this next chapter in your life and make the most of the experiences that come your way. You make a wonderful couple and I know that you will look out for each other. Amanda, remember that you need to keep P-J in check so I pass the smacking baton over to you for the time being (I will make use of it when I visit lol). P-J, just be your normal wonderful self - I am very proud of the young man you have become. Both be happy and remember that wherever you are that you will both be loved and missed by a lot of family and friends. We all want you to be happy in NZ and hope that you get settled quickly. Love you both, miss you loads already. xxxxxx
