Thanks Thanks Al, I'm ok, but I am worried about Kath because she won't leave his side at the moment, which is to be expected. She hasn't slept much for months, so I'm hoping that she can take a little break when I get there.
Love Di xx
hello Hi Di. I can't imagine how you are feeling right now. I am thinking of you. Try to enjoy the last part of your holiday. James is in the best care possible and you will be home for Kath really soon. Positive thoughts and prayers are going out to your Family Di.
See you soon Love Al xx
Thanks Thank you Joyce, I have had word that he pulled through the surgery ok, although there were some complications. It will be a day by day thing at the moment. Will keep you posted.

James Di my prayers and thoughts are with you and your family in this time of great expectations for the life of james. Keep the thoughts positive and as you say the gaurdian angels will be watching over him. Always thinking of you love always. Joyce xoxoxoxo
I can't believe that your trip is nearly over either. The time has flown by so fast and I have very much enjoyed reading your adventures Di. You are a brave and wonderful woman. I am very happy for you that you could discover so much about yourself and recieve so much peace from your time away. Take care, can't wait to catch up! xoxo
goodbye Europe Well Diane for how long have we been telling you that you are a strong person glad to hear you now understand it and believe it Sorry your trip is almost over but just think of all the stories (good and not so good) you can tell and all the memories you will have for ever Love ya talk soon
Magical! Truly magical especially with the snow! So glad you got a camera charger to be able to take photos for you to keep. I hope the American couple sends you copies of their photos too. I really wanted to meet you in Singapore tomorrow but work has been so busy that I am working long hours. I hope you had a good flight to Singapore and you'll warm up from the snow, do lots of shopping and get ready for the long flight back to Sydney.
Love Jillx

your trip Hi Diane, We are home from our 2 week trip away and are catching up with you on yours so sorry to hear about the robbery, I have only ever been mugged in Canberra. but then pleased that you are still going on with the trip and meeting some wonderful people. Hope the rest of the trip is just fun no more nasty stuff you have worked too long for this trip to have it spoilt. 3 weeks till we move out talk soon
Fond Memories Have you been celebrating the Oktoberfest in Munchen? We lived in a village not far from Munich called Schwabish Hall for 4 months than to Stuggart for 2 years. Don't forget, "Noch ein bier!!"
Wow! Hi Diane, phew, I am tired just reading your journals! I hope you have recovered from your terrible experience in Barcelona, not a good thing when you are alone. However, I am really pleased that you are getting to see and experience so much of the places you are visiting, it will surely whet your appetite and make you want to go back! Your photos have been awesome, particularly Rome. I hope you continue to enjoy every minute of your travels! Keep on keeping on! Hugs from all of us, Faye
As it's over 35 yrs since Ive been in Munich am very interested in your commentary. Hope you get your camera charged as the pics along the way have been great. Good Travelling. Sue
calmness Hi Di,
I was so sorry to hear of the loss of your camera... fingers crossed you get some batteries for your old one as I have become quite adicted to seeing your photos. Good thing you thought to take it.
Germany is a lovely country, and this time of year there is so much to see and do. I hope that you get a decent taste of everything there.
Love Barb
You're stronger than you think! I'm so glad you perservered and still had a chance to look around after such a horrible experience. I hope you can get a charger for your camera so you can keep your memories an also keep us all up to date through your eyes. I love getting your emails with the latest news and how much fun your having - except for the robbery. I suppose it is to be expected in some countries which are well known for this type of robbery on tourists. I suppose we are sitting ducks sometimes. Please keep safe and hang on tight to everything from now on, but make sure you still enjoy every moment.
Lots of love your sis Jillxx
Not Beaten Yet!! Sorry to hear about your robbing incident. You and Scott will be able to compare notes. Keep enjoying your adventure and I look forward to hearing more in person. Anne
Barcelona Once again you have proved to yourself how really strong you are . Good on you for not giving up and just keep on enjoying what you have planned for so long. Love Sue
Thanks Thanks love, I could quite easily have come home after my Barcelona incident but apart from support from all of you at home, I was fortunate enough to meet a Canadian, Don, who really cheered me up. I also had lots of offers of help and support from my new friends that I made in Rome.

Hi love I wasnt in London long enough to meet up with Richie. As it was I didnt stop the whole time I was there. It is an awesome place, and I hope I can go back again one day. I am totally overwhelmed with Rome, the sheer size of things is amazing.
Big hugs and kisses for my little girl, tell her I love her and miss her so much.Ama xxxxxxxxxx
:-) Hey Di, nice pics! Gad you're having fun again - keep it up and make the most of this amazing experience!!
Take care - can't wait to see more pics when you're back.

Hello everyone,
This travelogue will allow me to share my experiences with you all.
Wow !! I can't believe that very soon I will be in the hustle and bustle of Bangkok.
I am a little sad because my sister Kath won't be travelling with me as planned, as my much loved nephew is not well enough for her to leave him.
Most of you will know that James requires a heart/lung transplant. I continue to ask my guardian angels to watch over and protect James as well as all of my family.
I still wish that I could share the time with Kath, as she could really do with th... full info
