MUM AND DAD hELLO STEVE. JUST ARRIVED BACK FROM CAPE TOWN, YET ANOTHER WONDERFUL TIME, LOVELY PLACE AND COUNTRY, COULD LIVE THERE 6 MONTHS OF THE YEAR. HAVE ALREADY E-MAILED YOU. CATCH UP WITH YOU LATER. LOVE ALWAYS. MUM.XX

Dad. Hi Steve, you are very slow at updating your postcard section, we are all waiting to hear what is your impression of Oz. It is my last working day in Madrid today, back home tomorrow. A bit sad really I have really enjoyed this past year here, although the weekends are wearing a bit thin now having been around all the 'must sees' several times. I have a mesage from your Mum, she says that your cheque hasn't arrived yet from the insurance company, I assume that it is for your lost camera. Must go now and clear out the things in my desk that I want to take home with me. Take care. talk to you soon, Love Dad.

Amanda Hi Steve, Hope you're doing okay. Really starting to miss you now. It was nice having you around for the christmas period. Gran is staying with us at the moment. We went to church this morning (we sung our hearts out-badly) and are looking forward to a traditional Sunday roast. Have you thoewn any shrimps on the barbi yet? Take care of yourself and keep your wits about yourself. Spk soon. Amanda and Mike xx

Mum and Dad Hello Son. take and enjoy the last part of your adventure, Gran asked me to wait to see your plane fly into the clouds, cannot say I enjoyed that moment, thank's for the text message, pleased you had 3 seats. Will e-mail tomorrow, before I go to Madrid,until then. Love from everyone back home.xxx

Stephen Dear all. It's been ages since I wrote to you on my mesage board and you have sent me so many lovely messages too. Shame on me. I'm in Koh Samui at the moment enjoying the sunshine (and the rain), even if the people are a bit grotty! The shopping is great and I have bought some Playstation games for about 2 pounds each, which given that they are about 40 pounds back home is a bargain. I wish I could buy more stuff, but it's carrying it all that's the problem. I'm off to Koh Phangan tomorrow morning to get ready for the Full Moon Party on 26th Nov. Then it's 2 days to recover before flying back to Bangkok for 2 days and then back home on 1st December. Looking forward to seeing as many of you as possible while I'm home, so clear your diaries because I want priority! Keep the messages coming as I haven't stopped reading them. Miss you all loads. Stephen xxx

Bec Hi Steve, Just checking in on you to see what you have been up to. Scrolling down your messages - I can't believe that you got one from Malibu Stacey! Can't wait to hear more about your latest adventures & hope to see you when you come back over for Christmas. Take care - B

carla Hallo you. Glad to hear you are safe and sound and still having a good time. It was lovely to see you in Vientiane. Although it was an expensive meeting as on your recommendation we went to the tailors in Hoi An. It cost $500 to purchase and $220 to airmail home. We are most definately not eating in French restaurants for a while!! Saying that, however, we did spend a few notes in Nha Trang sailing club (couldnt help it - food was lovely and happy hour lasted so long!). We are in HCMC at the mo which is nice but i actually prefer Hanoi (must be the first place you go that sticks with you). Off to Cambodia on Sunday. Looking forwqard to catching up again in Bangkok. Take care you. Carla (and Rob) Xx

Darren Hi Steve, thanks for your email, sorry that I have not been in touch. Have finally read up on your travels and it looks like you are having a brilliant time. I'm really pleased for you. Not too sure about these "lady boys". Anyway, keep in touch and hopefully see you at Christmas. Take Care. Darren

Uncle Rob &Auntie Joan Hi Steve, Finally got round to saying thanks for the postcards. It looks great, brings back a few memories from an age long-ago (more than I care to remember). You keep on enjoying yourself whilst others slave away ( Auntie Joan)and some of us do nothing. Don't forget the stamps. See you when you get home R & J

Rog Steve, Hey hows things going. Sounds like your having an incredible time on your epic journey... Everything is good with me.. I'm just settling in to my new job, enjoying the shorter hours and the social is fantastic!.. Tried to leave a message yesterday but didnt work.. so hoping this one does..apologies if you end up with two from me one after the other.. Best do some work as its only 10.02 am over here!.. Take it easy... Enjoy!.. Rog

Amanda Hello Stephen. Hope all is well. Nipple warmers!!!!! Its the first I have heard of such items and am scared to find out!!Just got back from my 5 star Hilton experience in London with work which was great fun. Afternoon tea and all the trimmings...very nice. Just starting the preparation for my dissertation and am starting to feel uneasy...a lot of work. But at least, once its finished..its finished. Have received some more of your photos but havent had chance top look at them yet, but cant wait. It looks like you may be bumping into Rob and Carla soon. Your red dots on your maps seem to be getting closer! Take care sweetie, miss and love you, Amanda xx

Nigel Hi Steven, glad you are having a great time, keep reading the notices, but never get round to leaving a message. Just come back of hols ourselves, been to Italy in a Villa with Kate, Rupert and Pippa, had a really great week, weather should have been mild, but was red hot all week. had a great time, kids pushed each other around, Carl fell in the swimming pool and then fell down the stairs, so all quite normal really. Going down to London this weekend (the first time in a year) going to catch up with Matthew. Having a bonfire party down and Kate & Ruperts on the 6th Nov so no doubt will be freezing while you are topping up the sun tan. Hope you get time to visit when you come over at christmas. Love Nigel Susan and Cark
