HI guys ,i thought the latest photos were awesome, especially the ones of the glacier walking. Alan looked, as though he had a great time with you in New Zealand,I never thought I would see Sam jump out of a perfectly good aircraft...........? any way this is the last message from this email address due to finishing work on friday, a bit ironic really being made redundant from the Jobcentre what do you think?
Your mum and Stu have being looking for houses for me, found one on the tweed about five minutes from your mums.i have sent all the paper work in to the estate agents, but now i find i might have to pull out, because of a c*** up over the redundancy pay..!!! .
so on to Fiji a very beautiful place by all accounts, with its tropical beaches and warm waters, where you will be able to relax ,until the next time sam decides to throw herself out of a plane. so Bon Voyage
take care love Doug
Alan
Well thats New Zealand done with and now for a few weeks of less walking perhaps.Bet you will remember the sights of the snow , sea and mountains not to forget the Penguins , Seals and Dolphins, I certainly will not...and the car made it !!!! . Sam looked fantastic on the Skydive and certainly seemed to enjoy it as I Knew she would , do you remember over 10 years ago Terror Towers in Disney and the Death Drop Slide here in England where you showed no fear then when you went straight down with me. Have a nice rest in Fiji and the Cook Islands before the camping expedition in the US.Thanks Ricky for making Sams Birthday special as I know it meant so much to her Mum and Myself that she enjoyed herself and did not miss us too much.Speak soon
lots of love
Dad

Hi guys,
Thanks for the latest round of messages. Josh, i'm really not that mean, i'm only taking Sam away so you can enjoy her company even more when we return! You'll thank me in the end! hehe.
Theres two more blogs up today. A second Christchurch entry and one for Hopewell which concludes the south island of New Zealand. Also, many more photos have been added, i think its about 4 or 5 albums so take you time wading through those because there may not be any more for a little while as they're now right up to date! Hopefully get the island blogs up in the next few days while we're still in Auckland then it's off to Fiji and away from civilisation (hopefully!!) for a while.
Stay in touch.
Ricky xx

Hi guys! Joshi has been whinging all day about sending you a message so i thought i'd let him. I think it says:
Hi Auntie Sam and Uncle Ricky! I'm missing you both loads, next time you decide to go on holiday, can I come too cause i really think mummy needs a break because believe it or not i can be quite a handful! Come back soon, miss you!!
Well i think it goes something like that anyway! hee hee!
Hiya! Just thought send a quick message to say it was fab to hear from you! I really appreciated the phone call its good to know you are both still well and still having a fabulous time! I stil can't quite believe that you jumped out of a plane! I'm so jealous! You have grown up so much a proper back packer now arn't you? With all these new experiences you are going to be so bored when you get back, I'm going to have to set up some kind of activity for when you get back so you don't want to leave!! ummm....what can i do??? leave it with me i will think of something! Well anyway i will love ya and leave ya! thanks again for the phone call honey!!
Love to you both!
