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

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

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...............

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

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 ;)

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

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.

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!

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!

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!!

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.

Hey Rav i love you xx
