| 13th March 2007 Adrian | - From: Kingfish, Kingfisher and Rats The Size Of Cats! Goa sounds amazing - I'm dead jealous of you both. Makes me want to book a holiday there! |
| 10th March 2007 Wendy & Dave | - From: Kingfish, Kingfisher and Rats The Size Of Cats! Looks like you are having a better time in Goa,relaxing and soaking up the rays! Shame about the rubbish and badly treated animals. Liked your poses in the photographs Jed!! Make the most of the good food while you can and the cheap beer! Make sure you wear your sunscreen,you dont want sunburn as well as insect bites! Carry on having a great time. Lots of Love Wendy & Dave XX |

| 7th March 2007 Dad | MORE BEER?? - From: Kingfish, Kingfisher and Rats The Size Of Cats! Well the adventure keeps on rolling on eh? I don't know if it's just you two or if EVERYONE who goes to India has such mayhem going on around them. Still, it's good to see you both seem to be coping with everything that comes your way (mad screamers excepted), and you're both still in good humour. A few days of soaking up the sunshine on a sandy beach can really work wonders. Whatever the next country has to throw at you, with your batteries re-charged, I'm sure it'll be just great. Don't go getting burnt now guys, and keep them pesky mossies at bay. I'll e-mail soon. Love Dad. |
| 6th March 2007 Lynette{friend of Bill& Angela} | Goa - From: Kingfish, Kingfisher and Rats The Size Of Cats! Sounds like you are having a mixed time in Goa, Was, going to ask if you could recomend a place to stay!.My son arriveing there Sunday.He usually stays in Calungute, He's even stayed at the dormhouse before now, That is cheap.He wasn't to impressed with some of the other places.

| 27th February 2007 Dad | Yeuch!! - From: The Road To Goa Sam!!! A little too much info on your train journey!! The facilities Sound positively pre-historic! For a girl of such delicate sensabilities as yourself it must be gruesome! I'd always heard that the Indians were very friendly to us Brits, maybe it's a reaction to Jade in the big brother house eh? Now Goa, that sounds like the kind of India that you'll appreciate, beaches, hotels, proper toilets, ah, heaven! Love you loads, Dad |
| 24th February 2007 Auntie Linda | - From: The Road To Goa Nice costumes guys!Looked very dirty and smelly in a lot of places.Still i hope you enjoy Goa.Look after yourselves!You will be pleased to know my teeth are a bit better!Luv linda. |

Some of your poses in the photographs Jed are awesome! Sam you are very wise to keep your mouth covered in all that pollution it must be hard to breath in that smog! Enjoy your relaxing time in Goa make the most of the fresh air! Look after each other. Lots of Love Wendy & Dave |
| 23rd February 2007 Mommy | Trial run - From: The Road To Goa Hi Sam and Jed, just a thought but I reckon you should treat this whole trip as a trial run and as soon as possible re do the whole thing but staying longer at places such as Mumbai and giving places like Ahmedabad a wide berth.Well We thought it was a good idea except that we are missing you like mad already plus I dont believe youve won the lottery!You may even decide to take another stroll in the hills i.e Annapurna !! Love Mommy xx |
| 23rd February 2007 Jed's Mum | - From: The Road To Goa Hi Jed and Sam, very nice looking gothic train station, but all that smog! Bet your glad to breath in some fresher air in Goa. Sam had the right idea with her face mask, very flattering i thought . Love Mum xx |

I know you've had to skip through some of the places that you were aiming for, but honestly, you can only stand just so much before you get to sensory overload eh? I'm really impressed that you haven't mentioned any of the creepy-crawlies that you MUST have come across by now, There must be just so much happeming that a big spider just isn't news! Love to you both, and just keep looking out for each other, (and the nutters driving around)! |

Even after i read the first blog that you wrote it didnt sink in, i guess i felt that you we're on holiday, but now it has sunk in. On that note, grrr im so jealous i would give anything to do what you are, It all sounds so new and fun, a little confuseing at times also i can imagine. I would say hope your both having fun, but i know that unless you walk round with you eyes shut and ear plugs in there is no worrys about getting bored.

Hey guys glad to see your going straight for the deep end, I should really have warned you about the culture shock but its very hard to explain the immediate shock of having nothing familliar around you, and you thing that your first room was bad...mine was a bed with four walls built straight around it, if you wanted to get in or out you had to move all of my stuff off of the almost non existent floor space onto my bed. lol. believe me it all gets better and the longer you spend away the more you'll want to stay out there. Hope the next destination fares better for you both Dave |
