Solly about that - got a little carried away!!!
Hello from Bikaner (India). Today we saw a piglet, some rabid dogs and some skinny cows. After that, we sweated a lot and then saw some rats - sick!
Sal your message from 27th Feb has just made us laugh out loud - Namely the Isle of Man comment!
Going to Jaisalmer tomorrow with our driver (we are living like kings!) 5 hours in a car that resembles a corsa's smaller sibling, with no air con.....hmmm sweaty!
Speak soon, Lots of love from Curry.Com

Hey guys, I know this is your message board to talk about your fun and adventure but quite frankly, i'm with Sally on this one, this can be my therapy board. Although.... I see a plan forming here... maybe... would it work? Maybe.... Sally... would you like to be my pretend sister for a while until you go and then when you get back again? And i've got so many of Rachael's clothes i could be your pretend Rachael!!! Excellent plan don't you think.
Miss you :o(
But hope you're having fun and can't wait for the first installment about your adventures :o)

Heellloooooooooooooooo!! We're all split up, thats just not right! But at least this website will start serving its purpose! Girls and J Dog, hope you've arrived safely in India, Jeeeeaaasssus that feels weird typing that...too scary..COME HOME!! hehe, I want updates asap please, as am already having withdrawal symptons! Well.. I should really get on to my recent developments! Cutting a long story short, I have a job!! Start in two weeks, its a 58m motor yacht, new build & launching in may. I'm flying over to Holland to meet the new crew & start training. Its a private yacht so no icky holiday makers to deal with, but the client and itinary is all very hush hush, will not find out till he/she boards which makes me think Celebrity status (Brad Pitt maybe????? I WILL actually kill you!) What I do know is that we will be going to the Caines Film Festival (!!!) AND the Monaco Grand Prix (Waaa!) My starting wage is 2500 Euros a month (Ching Ching!) AND all my travel expenses paid for! The client will only be on board for small durations which means for the rest of the year the boat is mine along with 18 other crew!! I'm ssooooo chuffed! The client apparently is a party animal (Robbie??) so will be hosting loads of parties with live music on deck! (Robbie??) Just re-read all that and now need to change my pants! I'm bricking it but velly excited!! Annnnnnyway, can't waffle (Robbie?...what?), will keep u all updated as things develop, purlease write asap, not liking this non-contact crap! And Sallarooni - expect the biggest pissup of your life when I get home! Oh yes! Tata for now my lovelies, love & miss you and for everyone who came to the party, a big thankyou, it was the best night! Keep in touch!!! xxx

Well, I'm left all alone now - all my travelling buddies have left and the only person I have left to talk to you is STA Travel message board - How are you Message Board?.........*tumbleweed floating across the screen*.............. So!!!!! How is India lad and ladies??? Is is awesome?! How was flight?! Post messgage here asap - want to hear all first impressions! Had any curry yet? mmm curry... Ka has special news about her adventure but I will leave her to fill you in on that - let me just say I'm a very dark shade of green!! Only a few weeks left to go for me - SO cannot wait!! See you all soon travellers...x

Well its the 2nd March so you guys are on a flight to some exciting destination and i've just driven back from snowy Wales doesnt sound quite as exciting!!!! Im so jealous and i wish to god i was with you but you never know if i manage to save enough i might get to visit when ur in oz!!!! make sure u do the west coast of oz especially coral bay most beautiful place in the world!!! will miss you all loads (well maye not you jonny coz ive never met you but im sure if i had then i would miss you too) have a wicked time and keep in touch.

love you all xxxx

Well, it has been DAYS now since our last message posted. I check it religiously every single day and...nothing. So have decided to bless the board with yet another whopper!! So can I just say girls and boys "How excited are you!!!!" Excitement has defo (willem - not william Ka!) taken over my nerves. Flying alone Schmlying Schmalone thats what I say! (well I don't 'say' as its actually very hard...try it) I cannae believe that Ka has started her maiden voyage - albeit to the Isle of Wight - but today Isle of Wight tomorrow Isle of Man!! Just kidding! And Rach, Pol and Jon are off in a matter days and me in just a few short weeks! (TELL ME WHEN YOU'RE IN BANGKOK!) Well thought I'd just express my excitement - ps think we should continue our uni song "Total Eclipse of the Heart" and turn it into our mutual travelling song as makes me chuckle every time I hear it! Right, will try and leave some room for others now. Pol and Jon - see you in Thailand! Rach - see you tonight..(not quite as mindblowing) and Ka see you in a few days! Everyone else - if you came to our party Thanks and hope to see you soon! If you didn't - you missed a big un and hope to see you soon too!!! xxx

Before its too late and you're already on your way i have to remind you about some things you might miss. They might change your minds and make you all want to stay (but mostly they're meant to work on Rachael of course, i love her the most). What about when it rains and you can't really see it or feel it but when you get inside you realise you're blimmin soaked through. What about when you're lying on the beach sunning yourself and suddenly the wind turns, the clouds gather and you realise its turned arctic in less than 30 seconds flat. What about when its winter and how special and cosy and warm you feel when its dark in the morning when you go out and dark again already when you come home (even if you come home at half 3). Oh no, wait, you'll be back in time for that!!! See...all those wuvly fings an you is gonna be missin them sista!!! Bet you want to stay now huh. You all want to stay don't you. Really.

Well girls (and you Jonny!) what can I say? You're all leaving me for something way more exiting! I coud handle you all moving back to Bournemouth from sunny Treforest but I cant handle you going to the blo*dy other side of the world!
Think of me still in Uni Glam and have a fantastic time!! This forum will be fab for photos and funny little stories along the way...
Lots of love !!
Take care (oh yeah- I'll see u all in the party)
Jules x x x x x

A platform eh Sal???

Anyone who was thinking of joining us in Samoa for a week (Bridie) should defo reconsid....£1000 just for the flight! Woah Nelly Belly!!!

Can't believe we are going in 3 weeks and 6 days. It's soooo exciting. Visa'a all sorted and everthing is ready to go (nice passport pic by the way Dudders). Sal don't worry aboooot e tickets, they are fine - there will be no problems i promise.....unless we aren't waiting for you in Bangkok! Just kidding. I'm defo using this thing in the wrong way. I feel it's a different form of texting cos i've run out of creds....i was looking in a cookery book the other day and there was a recipe for "MADELINES" made me think of you Sal.

Anyway, over and out cos i'm on Bridie's comp

See you soon (tomorrow Rach, Next week Ka, Sal who???)
