Happy New Year Tom. Your dad sent me details of your site and I have forwarded them to Corrie. She plans to do some travelling after she graduates and I'm sure your site will inspire her to get planning.
You certainly seem to be having a great time. Wishing you well in your future travels

Hi Tom, Happy New Year to you and by the sounds of it you had a great one. Lovely to catch up on your news. Saw the fireworks in Sydney on New Years Day here and they looked fantastic on the telly, must have been awesome in real life. Photo's look great and glad you are enjoying every minute of it by the sounds of things. Take care. Spent New Years Eve with your parents, was a great evening and we thought of you (by that time having your 3 hrs sleep!!!!) Linda x x x

Hi Tom! It was lovely to speak to you yesterday- we all had a lovely day (despite missing you!) and were pleased that you were having a great time too (did you manage to get any sleep?). You must have landed the best job ever for New Year Eve - working at the Opera House! I expect the fireworks will be awesome (don't suppose you will have time to take any photos.......?) Hope you get lots of tips from the Mayor and his friends so that you can entertain us in style when we come over (you think I'm joking!). We are having a fondue at home on New Year's Eve with the skiing gang so we will drink a toast to you then. Happy New Year and see you soon! Lots of love M, D & G

Happy Christmas to you Tom. Just finished the usual breakfast feast! Will be thinking of you today when we go round to your mums for roasted goose!!
Hope you enjoy the bbq on the beach and dont get too sunburnt!! Must be really strange having xmas day in the middle of summer?? Lots of love and a very Happy Christmas from Monika, Barrie, Jo, Adam, Ben, Kate, Granny and of course me!! XX

Thought of you when I heard that GMTV are doing a live broadcast this morning from Bondi Beach and wondered whether we should look out for you in the sun sea and sand. Heres wishing you a fantastic hot Christmas and no doubt spectacular Sydney New Year, my sister and her family are over there too but North of you in Byron Bay now. Charlotte home from Exeter now and working 24/7 in farm shop, going to De Niros Thursday night so hopefully will catch up with the crowd. Spending New Years Eve at Ships Timbers so will think of you then, you'll be sleeping it off by then! Lots of love from all of us Pearces, Susie
