Granny and the Dalys Hi Rav. Can see your having a great time. Every one here is good. Were trying to put together a Guider renunion barbacue on the 26 of August. Then you can meet the wrinkles and the not so wrinkles. Gran is good. Seamus is getting his summer holidays on friday. then after three weeks he's of to the gaeltach (Irish college). Looking forward to seeing you soon. Love all at No. 12

The 3 McAteers (& not one of them Jason!) Dear Rav's Excellent Adventure! Just seen your pics...have forgotten just how gorgeous you are and what we are all missing. You been gone too long man....need me kisses from the fourth of the gorgeous monteiro boys (yes Rav, that does include your dad!) You'll remember this trip for the rest of your life. Every day, you will make a new memory that will last forever. On the home front, Finn's new name is Bottomley Potts, all covered in spots....yes, he has the Pox! He turned 3 in April, starts "big school" 4 short months from now and is growing up fast....come home soon....me kid'll be on HIS world tour by the time you get home! Signing off now, have to go plaster Finn in Calamine Lotion from head to toe! Can't wait to see you...pucker up xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

mum No weddings - No ladyboys. Time to come home now Rav. So proud of you and they way you have taken every oppertunity to have a ball on this trip but we are missing you and are ready for you to come home. Then we can party and have more hols...............

Ray Love them!! sorry i was on the phone and didnt get your last message, they lok amazing and it looks like you are having an amazing time xx

Anjali Hi Rav, how's Sth America? I thought you'd have some pictures up already. I'm sure your having fun. Mum left for India last week. She's having a brilliant time (everytime I call she's out!). Jason remembers me (but I think everyone is saying that to make me happy!). What can I say? it must be the Monteiro charm. You'll have to take that comment with a large pinch of salt ;)

Jonesey Hey Rav, Looks like your having an absolute blast! When you arrive in Argentina, show those ladies how to tango properly! I seem to remember a time when you showed an entire argentinian restaurant how to move those hips lol. All the best, Jonesey

Jay Looks like you're having a hell of a time. It's all about HK baby!!! Dude...the "A true Asli Indian" is a classic! But that tash makes you look 40...allow for now.

Matt Yo Rav, hope this message finds you in good health and better spirits. Me and Rob are now in Cairns, booked a diving course for 5 days which includes 9 dives (one of which is a night dive - scary stuff). In other news we've bought a 4x4 (not the same as that deathtrap we had on fraser) and we're going to drive to Darwin, Broome and fingers crossed Perth as well. Alternatively we may die a slow and painful death in the outback, but its going to be an adventure! Hows south america, and what crazy stuff have you been up to? Take care and safe journey, Matt. P.S - Rob's still beavering - timber!

Anjali Monteiro Hi Rav, We hope you enjoyed your stay in OZ. Your welcome back anytime. Next time bring the family....be great to explore the Northern Territory. It's totally amazing. Love from all the Monteiro's in Brisbane. BTW Dad misses your handy work in the yard!

Rav Sun and Ash, loving the family representation. about time too! Rois stop trying to be me, your not cool enough. Booney, don't worry i haven't married any lady boys, but i'd be lying if i said i wasn't tempted. Almost at the end of australia now, the 6 weeks has flown. highlights of recent weeks has been cruising round fraser island in a 4x4 and then going sailing on the edge of the cyclone around the whitsundays. off to chile on friday, bring on those latin lovelies!!

Sun Hey rav sorry that was rois. just reading your messages and i noticed that there was a distinct lack of msgs from family members. i have been sending emails but they're not public enough. Hope your having a great time on your travels. your missed back here, Rois tries to be you and do cool stuff but she just fails at every hurdle.

Sun Hey Rav i love you xx

boon ravi, i think u should post a message here so as to let us know u havent decided to marry some lady boy back in bangkok and decided not to come back! hope all is well big man! bring back some hotties from aus! boon

Ash hey Rav thought i'd check up on how ur doing only to discover none of da families have left u messages so i'm here to represent! looks like ur having a mad time so bloody enviuos it's been raining on and off here for da last week and generally just being fairly s***ty i really hope u like Australia and da weather is good for you. love ya lots Ash

Ameet SSSuppppp RAVI!!!!!!!! Seems like ur havin quite a dry trip!, sorry mate, but today i stapled two papers together that weren't supposed to be stapled, it was crazy and everyone laughed (Jealous yet!!!). The pictures in the Budhist Monastry were amazing seems like a proper chilled place. Even though they are soooo wise i'm sure you had plenty of natural stories to tell them, i'm surprised u didn't get the monks to funnel. I love the standard flexing pose when ur thai boxing with that character, u were tensing so hard i think the next photo was probably one of u s***tin urself. I have to agree with the early posts when the Boon man gets his top off, it gets no betta!! Sorry i have to leave ya but i think i just saw someone in the office spill their water, ooohhhhh the mental lives we lead in UK offices....... P.S. R u pickin up e-mails, cos i waitin 4 my reply from the 10/01/06!!!!!!!
