Jennie Hi, Have a safe journey home, looking forward to seeing all your photos, although I'm sure you would rather still be travelling- time goes so quickly!! Jon and Dawn at mums for mothers day, sorry I missed your call, but hope to speak to you soon. Love to you both, Jennie xx

jane Soooooo glad you love San Francisco-I wish I was there. Had a ridiculously busy week with 3 observations, class assembly and a science day! Argh. See you in a few days. Jane xx

Jon and Dawn Hiya,Looks like you are still having a great time. That room with the balcony sound terrific. Makes me want to go on holiday again. Walking out on a balcony to be greeted by paradise really is a good way to start the day. It just makes you feel that everything is right with the world.Still, as Jen said, the weather here is getting better. It really does look like spring might have arrived. Today, especially, was a lovely day. Let's hope it stays like this so it isn't too much of a rude awakening when you finally return home.Anyway, hope you continue to have a great time. And see you soon. Jon and Dawn.

Les and Lin Souonds like you are having a fantastic experience, lets hope it continues on the  last leg of your journey in America. Have a safe journey and catch up with you on your return. Take care Les and Lin

Alison I am enjoying logging on and reading about your trip - its a good way to keep in touch with 'us lot' back at home. I am very envious and am getting itchy feet to go travelling myself (have booked California coast trip for July - all your fault!!!). I shall be particularly interested in your stay in San Francisco as Stuart and I shall be staying around there for a few days. Love and best wishes Alison.

Jennie and Philip Did you go to the Agro Park in Rotorua? If not why not, you haven't lived until you've rolled down hill in a giant plastic ball or swung from a huge bungy wire!! Seriously glad you enjoyed Napier and Taupo and smelt the wonderful aroma of sulphur, nothing like it for clearing the passages!! If you're heading north soon hope you get as far as the Bay of Islands, well worth a boat trip to see the dolphins. Continue your journey safely and enjoy the rest of your stay before heading to San Francisco. Love to you both Jennie and Philip xx

jane 'Poxy flip-flops' indeed!! I'll have you know they are the height of 'flip-flop cool' if there is such a thing! Ta for getting them. Keep having a blast and keep buying me stuff!! he he! Jane xx

Jon and Dawn Hi guys, Glad to hear you're having a good time. Looks bloody awsome from the photos. Sorry we haven't been in touch earlier, but we've just got back off holiday ourselves. Ten days in Jamaica. Not quite as adventurous as you two, but fun all the same. Mum got worried because one of the people in the flats told her Jamaica was violent, so I had to assure her we saw it more as a tropical paradise than a muggers haven. She will worry about nothing. The worst thing that happened was when I got in a mini argument with one of the street sellers, but it lasted about 30 seconds and was actually quite funny. Oh and the yank saying that the new stadium Jamaica is building for the Cricket World Cup 'is supposed to be impressive by US standards, never mind for these people.' I won't swear, but I take it you know my opinion of the guy. Why are so many Americans like badly educated, overweight children? He didn't even seem to notice that our driver was standing right next to him at the time. To be fair though, many of the yanks were nice people. Just goes to show, they can't all be bad. Anyway, hope you continue to have a blast. And see you soon.

Anne and Allan The photos make us even more jealous! What incredible scenery! We are so glad you are having such a great time. We will expect to see all six million photos when you get back!!!! All the very best for the remainder of your travels. Love A and A

Jane Photos!!! FINALLY!!!! Make sure you find that restaurant i went to in Nelson with the volcanic rock to cook your dinner on! Jane xx
