Diane This is just to wish you a good and uneventful trip home, hope you get a chance to sleep a bit. Spoke to Col today, he's fine, maybe looking to move. We're off to the ballet tomorrow. so that should be really good. I'll stop now and get to bed, as it's quite late, 11pm. so, see you soon. M.

Ryun have a safe trip home buddy!

mum Hi Rob, nice chat just now. It's hard to believe you'll be home very shortly eh? I've been in contact with China Airlines,they were very helpful and confirmed all your flight times. The lady did, however, give me the contact ph. number for the airline in Anchorage --248 3603-- She suggested you give them a ring a few hours prior to the flight time , just to check that nothing is holding up any of your flights en route, so to speak. Also, I called ANZ and confirmed the flight between Brisbane and Auckland, she said everything is fine with that too, so I guess all's hunky dory, as they say. ph no. for ANZ auckland, 09 3573000 press 3, i think. speak to a real person! You could write that number down so if you need info in Tai Pei, you can always ring that no in an emergency .[ that is, about the Brisbane flight] No info on the Africa thing, she suggested calling in to a travel agency and asking for an itinerary, but without any bookings, which would give info on airlines and prices etc. anyway, I'm going to stop now, so you can get this, soo lotsa love mum. see you soon, cant wait. xx

Peter Hi Rob - I've just been looking through your photos - there seem to be thousands! There a lots of really great ones. Glad to hear that you are Tanzania seems like an exciting place to go to - but from cold to hot? Looking forward to going on a trip with you when you return - probably north, north to Kaitaia rather than north to Alaska. See you soon, Love, Dad.
