Emma hey guys, just got my postcard as well.....really appreciated the man in lycra taking in the spectacular views, made me chuckle!! Enjoy NY and please get me a pair of i love NY pants!! muchas gracias xxx

Mark Got the postcard from new zealand today - how did you send it? snail mail? Have a great weekend in New York and lap up the lest leg of your awesome adventure. Looking forward to seeing you on tuesday morning, even if it is a little early! Take care. Love dad.

Chris Hi guys, made it to the eastern seaboard yet! Hope you enjoyed seeing Cam and had a good flight across the country. any chance of a last blog? love Mum

Mark Well it sounds as though you've landed on your feet once again. Can't be bad free use of a holiday home and a 30' yacht. I wonder what the odds were of bumping in to those guys again? I reckon you've got more chance of winning the lottery! Anyway enjoy what's left of California before heading east. Look after yourselves. Love Dad

Nick So you've got free accommodation, staying on a yacht, I'm just getting more and more jealous of your trip. Glad you kept away from the vegas gambling, can't imagine it's much fun anyway... Look forward to your next report lots of love dad

Chris I have been quite enjoying checking out the Venice Beach web site, but Santa Barbara does look very nice - are you going on a winery trip. It doesn't have a web cam though so I can't look to see if you're just passing! The weather looks as though its been lovely for you and I hope you've sorted out your heat bumps Tegan, Piz Buin anti allergy sun cream should help if you can get it. Bertie is growing fast and his shape is really changing but he still has the face of a scoundrel. Enjoy Santa Barbara and San Fransisco but don't try and swim to Alcatraz, apparently you won't make it. Love Mum

Emma Hey guys......... America sounds wonderful and the casinos sound like so much fun, probably lucky you cant gamble but i would love to try it sometime!! heard that you have been doing a bit of celeb spotting, i challenge you to get an autograph off the most random and terrible celebrity you can find!! At least the weather sounds nice, if a tad toasty out there.........here it is cloudy and we have some potential storms a brewing!! Work is going well... lots of lovely french and other european men, so great fun!!! how much longer are you staying out there for?? Much love xx oh and can i have a postcard please!! 15 reliance way, cowley, oxford, ox4 2fu xxxxx

Chris Hope you are having fun by the sea, we can see two live web cams from Venice beach, in fact I've just seen a man run with his dog and the clean up truck. You could stand in front of it and wave at a pre arranged time and we could all see you - how cool would that be and also fairly spooky! WE are going to take Bertie to see Em tomorrow. He is growing fast. Enjoy the sights love Mum

Booth Family By the time you both get this you will probably be in LA. Andrew and I went there in 1990 believe it or not. We did the usual things like Hollywood (handprints in the pavement, big houses) Universal Studios (although there's not much of them left at the moment!) and Disneyland and Queen Mary at Long Beach. Have a great time there mixing with the rich and famous, you never know you might see the Beckhams!!!!!!!!! Look forward to hearing to your further adventures. Bye for now lots of love Andrew,Claire Oli and Dan XX

Mark Well, I've had a look at the Sky Jump website and I'm not convinced that I'd do it. Having said that the Sky Walk looks even worse! Thanks for the call on my birthday it was greatly appreciated as was the present. Went to the theatre that night - not brilliant. Doing the LIBDA bike ride again tomorrow with Howard and Diana & co - I'll tell them you saw Becky in NZ. Well enjoy your last few days there and have a good flight to LA. All the best, Dad.

Chris North island sounds really good, Hobbiton especially and the hot pools, they sound my sort of temperature. It was really great of Toby to be able to phone this morning for Dad's birthday and I'm also glad i found out about the jump thing afterwards. Enjoy your last few days and have a good trip to the USA LOL Mum

Marianne Hi there - Glad to hear you are OK and made it to Auckland in one piece. Even better that the ferry crossing was calm - it can be a bit dicey that one. Enjoy Auckland and I hope you will have some good memories from your whirlwind tour of NZ. Enjoy your travels in the US and go safely. We are off in just over a week now! Just hope the weather in UK picks up soon. Hamilton is fine by the way - and calls himself "little nutbrown hare" now - great book! Lots of love, Marianne, Jonathan and Hamilton xxx

Mark Good to hear from you 2 again and your continuing adventures in the antipodes. I never for one moment thought that Toby might have forgotten my birthday, as if! Just hope it's a good present!! The phots of South Island look very good especially the blue, aquamarine water of the rivers which looks very inviting but I guess is pretty cold. I noticed that you had had a puncture from the phots - I hope this wasn't down to reckless driving? Altho on 2nd thoughts that's probably impossible in a Sirion. Take care. Love Dad

Marianne Hi there Hope you are getting some of this amazing weather. Its clear blue skies and actually warm today! You might get this too late, but there's quite a cool little walk in Nelson to the "Centre of New Zealand". If you get a chance and the weather is good, the views are great. Any local will be able to tell you how to get there. Have a great time and I hope the ferry crossing is smooth - the Marlborough sounds are really pretty. Lots of love Marianne

Booth Family Hi Toby and Tegan. Glad to hear you both arrived safely in NZ. It's great to see all the photo's of your adventure so far. The snow looks fantastic and deep! We saw Mum and Dad yesterday with the dogs. Bertie is so cute and Wilf towers above him. Take care for now have fun. Love Claire, Andrew Oli & Dan
