Tell everyone that I was asking for them too! The travelling around hasn't been too bad cos we're getting use to waiting around! The flight to America was the worst though! It was a 10hour flight and it went past really quickly but we went back in time so it was pretty tiring. We laft at 10pm on Sunday and arrived in LA at 1pm on sunday so we were a bit confused with the days and stuff but its fine now. Take care. Love Nina xx

donna hye to both of you, sitting at the computer printing out some of the postcards and pictures, they all look amazing. It's hot clammy and raining in Glasgow, so it's nice to see the views you send, it brightens up my day/night. Ross did you get a photo of Nina in her hamster ball? see you soon (9wks + 4day) lots of love mum xxx Glad you like the photos, we'll try and get some more up soon! We didn't get one of us in the ball cos we we're both in it together but we took a couple of photos of other people so you can see what it was like. You can't make out the people inside anyway so you can just pretend it was us! :o) Email and let me know how everyone is doin. Love Nina xx

donna Tried to phone you twice last night on Ross's phone but it just went on to the answer machine, Kirsty Kloe Patrick Carina and I all went out for tea tonight, It was nice, then we came home for coffee and cake would keep you some but it probably wouldn't last. Hope your weekend has been good. Lots of Love Mum xxx I couldn't get my call card to work either so i'll try again and hopefully i'll maage to make it work! Don't worry about the cake you can get me a welcome home one instead!! :o) Did you get on to see the aussie photos? We've almost filled our camera again so we'll put some more up pretty soon too. Love Nina x

Carina Happy Birthday Nina. Hope you have an absolutely wonderful day and Ross spoils you. I got the card you sent me, but don't have your address so can't send one to you. Thinking of you both. Lots of Love. Carina Thats cool, my bags heavy enough anyway so i'll let you off this year! :o) Thanks for the text message too. love Nina x

donna It is Friday night 9.20pm but down in New Zealand I reckon it is Saturday morning so Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear Nina,Happy Birthday to you. Hye Nina this is the first time you have been able to celebrate your birthday before Kirsty Have a nice day and enjoy every minute of it, will be thinking of you, tomorrow/ today which ever.. lots of love Mum xxxxx Thanks, Wasn't sure when to celebrate my birthday either so i've managed to get two days out of it which was good! Thinking of doing it every year! :o) Ross took me Zorbing for my birthday present with the money you sent which was really cool! You get put in a big hamster ball made of bouncy castle with some water in and rolled down a huge hill! Amazing! You only said no bungy jumping! :o) Big thank you!! Love Nina x

donna hi from Scotland to New Zealand, glad that you are travelling again and will be able to keep in touch better. It must be strange not having twentyfour hour shops that sell nearly everything close at hand. Glad you arrived safely will email soon once I have arranged what we are doing at the weekend. Kloe is quite please to be back at school she has one of the teachers she had before that she liked but has to go and get six/seven teeth out on Wednesday at the dental hospital.I will let you know how she gets on. speak soon, lots of kisses mum xxxxx

Auntie Karen, Uncle Rick and Ryan Hi Ross and Nina: Sorry I haven't posted a message in a while... Glad to see all your photos and blethers on this site though and of course I hear about the "GOOD" son from your Mum. I would like to start taking bets as to how long after you return home you will still be the good son - with the first load of laundry! Anyway, I am getting excited about your visit -I can't believe you will be here on the 18th September!! Hoots mon - we'll have haggis!! Southwest Airlines has deals sometimes for flights from LA to Sacramento for $39. You may want to try them. Also let me know when you arrive here as I work close to the airport so I will come and pick you up. Rick is in Thailand on a job and returns home on the 28th August for 2 weeks so I don't know how long he will be here but I am sure you will see him at some point. Ryan starts high school tomorrow. It has been in the 100s but today it feels like fall. I hope it is in the 90s when you come. Enjoy your trip and we will see you soon! My numbers are home (916) 961-3836; work (916) 323-8691; and cell (916)765-9742 We can't wait either! We'll look at flights from L.A. and let you know as soon as we've booked something. Don't think i'll be the good son for long once I get back home either, its easy enough keeping out of trouble when i'm not in the country. Speak to you soon. Ross and Nina
