Nearly Christmas! Hello,
It has all gone very quiet, how are you getting along? I keep getting asked if I've heard from you. I hope it is everything you hoped for!
Ben.
Hi! Sorry we couldn't make your leaving party, as we were away for the weekend. I didn't get a chance to say a personal goodbye before you headed off, so just to wish you both well in your travels. Have a wonderful time, stay safe and well, and do come back to UH when you return to Blighty.

travels and things Yay... have some wonderful adventures off and away.... do come and visit if you're passing by (not that anywhere is patricularly near New Zealand)... what a beautiful village...I'm quite envious of the tales of the English country village life... Kiwis don't really understand the necessity of board games and Pimms quite so much. Have fun and I'll enjoy keeping up with your tales xx
Yee Haa To my precious intrepid travellers have a wonderful start to your next adventure. Please post lots of photos like last time and I can travel with you from the sofa!
Love you both heaps.
Beej, Christopher, Stowford & Willow. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Blenheim and Champagne Wonderful evening had by many much riding uniformed upon horses, land of hope and glory with the inevitav
ble champagne.
Beck Ele Helen Ed Gary Ross Wynne Yvonne and I plus some others donned sensible foot ware and in true english syle went out to party. You were both sorely missed as you may have gathered from the attempts and sending photographs of fireworks for mark and my yelling "slightly squiffed done the phone.
Many request of where are they when are they moving on to the next place and a riot of questions I could not answer.
Thye blogg looks great Marc has a real knack for these sensational communications.
As you can see I am now up and running, the story of how this has occurred would make a screen play.
Well chillen must get on love and light

Missing Easter Island... Hey Emma and Marc! I love reading these adventures!!! I hope you both are well. I'm back on Stanford's campus, in a bio plant lab. It's ok- nothing like touring Easter Island that's for sure! So glad to hear from you both- thanks for adding me to the list! Enjoy traveling for me!!!! I'll get back in the game soon ; ) let me know if you want any tips from Chile or Bariloche, Argentina ; )
Hola Dear Emma and Marc,
Great to read that you are seizing the moment and exploring South America. What an exciting part of the world and a very sensible idea for Marc to learn the lingo. Enjoy your trip home and give my love to Anne and family. Julia and I send our love as we embark on a move to and a new job in Berlin. We hope to see you somewhere in the world and some time.
Aufwiedersehen and Hasta la vista
Mark and Julia XX
Hello Good to hear form you and am glad that you are both so well and happy - Happy 1 yr travelling anniversary to you both. I hope your journey continues to bring happy and interesting times
Keep well
Love from Gez and Family
Amazing trip! Hi Emma and Marc - Has it really been a year?! Reading your blogs and seeing your pictures has been wonderful up to yet, I'm sooo glad your staying the pace for another 6 months - it makes my working day considerably more worthwhile - who ever says day dreaming is not a viable pastime, needs to read your travel blogs... I look forward to hearing of many more adventures. Although I doubt you'll have the time, do mail me or call if you can while in UK Em, as I'd love to have a catch up!! The girls are both fine and Barry qualifies as a Fire-Fighter today so I'm very proud of him! Well must get back to the daily chores... Lots of love to you both, thinking of you and hope you carry on having a fantastic time XXXXX
!! Your travels are incredible! I'm glad you've decided to keep going (and use one of the return tickets!) When you get a chance please send me an email so that I have your email address please! I left your AMAZING card in my CHile/Easter Island book, which is now home in California, whereas I am far away in Budapest, and want to write you! I also think I gave you the wrong address to my blog, so I want to email you the correct address!
Safe travels!
Hannah
So glad to hear you are both okay and continuing your adventures! If you do decide to keep on going from Mexico, know that there is always a place for you to stay in Seattle :)
Many many congratulations Claire, Barry and Jasper What a wonderful day. Stunning bride, handsome groom and Jasper well - those eyes. Congratulations to the Nichols family. Wishing you long and happy years together. With love Anne
Wow! Congratulations Claire and Barry! Claire, you looked amazing, as I knew you would, the combination of you and that dress is knock-out! And it's only taken 5 months to get to see the photos!! Best wishes to you all, Anna.

Trials and tribulations Come on you now you love it. I'd give anything to have another exciting day like that. All the times you've been on a beautiful beach or relaxed drinking beer in a lovely bar, you'll forget those moments but always remember the time when getting to Iloilo almost didn't happen. Well I guess it kind of didn't, but it did in the end...you know what I mean.
Also the Indian Embassy is a mere sign of things to come. Prepare your badselves for the baffling madness that is Indian Bureaucracy . :)
Seriously though, it's great to hear you guys are still having a good time. You know there is no cure for this addiction don't you, I've been back home for only 6 months and already have been to Hungary and Canada, and I'm going back to Montreal in a few weeks...but where for the summer? Fancy meeting back at Everest? Only this time on the Nepali side? :)
All the best,
Rich
good memories Dear Emma I loved reading your farewell to Hope and seeing all those great photos. We've been gently remembering Hope in Australia these last few days especially. "Good memories and good advice" We all remember Hope as a dynamic friend when we needed to talk and listen with her. Goodbye Hope from all the Lovetts in Australia.
My condolence Emma, Please accept my condolence on the demise of your grandma. She must have left you with numerous fond memories. Remember her in your heart and treasure all the beautiful memories. May her soul rest in peace, Amen.
Thanks for those pictures. So beautiful. I just finished a short trip w/ my mother to Mexico. She was like a little girl.
Thank you for sharing..truly an appropriate time for these pictures.
Thank you, you help me to remember I met you in Tiger Leaping Gorges with Denise. Seeing your pictures remember me last mai when we where in Siem Reap. Hankor Wat did not change, it is always beautifull... I will try your recipes when I will be back in Quebec in april. What are your project for the next month? I am now in Australia ( Cairns) since 1 month. 2 more months ahead. Travelling is adventure. Adventure fulfill your dreams. Iwish you a Merry Christmas and realise one more dream in 2007.
Having thoroughly enjoyed being at home in England for the past two and a bit years, we are now heading off again. This time we are starting in Morocco (November 2010) and travelling with Oasis Overland, down to Cape Town. This leg should take about 5 months, after which we will be travelling independently and might visit parts of the East Coast and then carry on to Asia for a year or so. We will simply see where we fancy going at the time.
We hope that you enjoy the blog, as and when it gets updated.
Lots of Love, Emma & Marc XXX (Carpe Diem)
