It sounds like you all had a lot of fun though. Holiday of a life time ...Something you will never forget... lucky girls :) Have a great last few weeks. Try to make the most of it.. relax and enjoy.. See you all soon lots of love Mum V xxxx |

| 9th March 2008 Mum V | what is happening to the weather? - From: Delhi Hi Girls Could not believe it when I read that it was freezing when u arrived in Dehli... The weather is sooo strange, apparently though, they have been having freak weather. Its such a shame that it is happening while you are out there but at least you managed to keep some of your winter clothes. I am so glad that you enjoyed staying with your friend Samarth and his family. It is soo much better when you have someone to take you to places. They can explain things more clearly. There are some lovely places too. Please thank him and his family for looking after you and making your stay in Dehli a much more pleasant one. I am soo glad you are going back to see him before you go back to England. Not long now... Can't wait to see you. Will have your long awaited roast dinner ready. India looks a lovely place. I think I will put it to the top of my list of places to visit. Luv u loads Mum XXX |

| 3rd February 2008 mum v | elephant trekking - From: Chiang Mai & Bangkok Wow! what can I say girls. We went elephant trekking in Thailand, but we only had 45 mins of sitting in a chair on the elephant .It is something I will never forget mind you... but what you all did by feeding, washing and sitting on the elephants neck must have been a wonderful experience I know you will never be able to forget it What great pics as well. Christmas was quite sad. we all missed you Sam (I know that Sam and Lucy were missed also by their parents) but it was a lovely surprise to get the phone call on christmas day it made us feel a lot better and then we were able to enjoy the rest of the day. It sounds like you had an incredible time and New year Eve meeting up with some English guys, most have been the icing on the cake. Carry on havin a great time. luv u Mum V xxx |
| 3rd February 2008 mum v | Brill hol in Thailand - From: Thailand - Islands Hi Girls ...We had a great time in Thailand and meeting up with you girls made it an extra special holiday. We hope we were able to help you just a little bit. I think you all needed a much needed rest and lazing round our hotel pool, sunbathing, and swimming must have helped I don't knw about you, but we thought the James bond island was a brilliiant trip especially the canoeing, havin a guide paddle us around under the caves made it such a lovely relaxing day. I can't believe how many pictures I had taken, its got to be more then 600....I have had 300 printed the rest I will leave on a CD. I am going to make you all a DVD on the clips I took of our time together. I am very pleased with the footage I managed to get. Hope you will be too. Sooo glad you enjoyed Phi Phi Island. I must admit Maya Beach looks so much better when it is empty. If only we had, had, a little bit longer, we could have gone to Phi Phi and stayed in the island for a few days with you. I was a bit disappointed when I heard that they had beach parties everynight never mind.... I will have to go back again YES! Hope you all have a great time in India love u lots mum V xxxx |
| 28th January 2008 Mum Sue | JUMPER!! - From: Chiang Mai & Bangkok What a terrific memory you will have - riding, feeding and washing Jumper the elephant on Christmas Day. I would love to do something like that! Look after each other girls. Take care and enjoy yourselves. Love Mum Sue XX |
| 19th January 2008 Mum V | Please be careful girls - From: China I was not very happy to read that you went with some Chinese blokes.. I know nothing happened ....but you should be more careful especially in this day and age... anyway I have had my moan... You seemed to be having a good time even though you had trouble getting them to understand you. Glad they were friendly and sounds like you were treated as celebrities. Shame the Country suffers with polution. Can't be very nice having the Country covered in Smog. Not seeing the sun. I am not sure I would enjoy the food either chewey eyeballs and chicken claws with toes nails yuk! Its been an experence, something you won't ever forget. Look forward to your next saga.. Luv Mum V xxx |
| 19th January 2008 Mum V | Anything goes - From: Vietnam It must have been a bit of a nightmare for all of you when you first arrived. Having the locals trying to rip you off but If I know you Sam I am sure you made sure they were not going to get away with it. It must have been scarey but also quite funny at the same time seeing so many motorbikes on the road. Love the pictures of the caves the colours are beautiful. Its sounds like you were celebrities in this part of the Country. Soo glad you enjoyed it. |
| 19th January 2008 Mum V | Shopping, spend spend spend - From: Vietnam Hi Girls, well what can I say... shop until you drop... so glad you enjoyed yourselves in Vietnam. Us woman do like our shopping and having tailor made clothes right near where you are staying and sooo cheap it just makes it soo much better doesn't it. Its seems you had both shops and beach holiday all in one. A well earned rest for all three of you. I was soo pleased to hear that you really enjoyed it. Vietnam is definitely on our list for one of the places to visit for a holiday in the future. Great photos as usual girls. Speak soon luv Mum V xxx |
| 19th January 2008 Mum v | Tuk Tuk - From: Cambodia What away to travel.. on a tuk tuk. They look such fun. Its a shame you had to see the heart breaking horrors that happened to the country, but it is great the way they have coped and are now getting on with their lives. Must have been quite exciting seeing the temples especially the one where Tomb Raider had been filmed. I can see why the locals were laughing at your Laura Croft pose... only joking they probably didn't know who she was. Ha! Ha! Shame you were getting hassled by the beggars but they have to survive somehow. At least you were able to go shopping and its sounds like you did enjoy visiting Cambodia... Can't believe they managed to fit 5 on a bike and then seeing 2 people driving a car wow! they can get away with anything over there ... A Country without rules, sounds good to me. hope to speak to you soon luv Mum V xxx |
| 19th January 2008 Mum V | Tubing - What fun - From: Laos Hi Girls sounds like you had great fun tubing down the rapids and stopping when you felt like a drink or play the little games. The pics are great soo glad you had a good time, shame you had to go back to get your passport stamped, the journey sounded horrific. Your hair looks lovely Sam and Lucy I bet you couldn't wait to get it cut and soo cheap, wish I could get it cut for that price! Its nice to know that you would return to Laos if you ever travelled again. Maybe that could be a place for me and your dad to visit in the future :) Luv Mum xxxx |

| 6th December 2007 Nan Valerie & Grandad Arthur | amazing adventures - From: Brisbane to Cairns Pleased to hear you are having a whale of a time. We can't believe you managed to jump out of a plane and do a bungee. Jump. Just the thought of the heights scares us. Well done! The nearest we have been in height is the monseret in Salou (Spain) I (Nan) didn't have a nightmare on the day but the next day I had bad visions of what I had been through. Must be the old age coming on...Reading about the dingos ...we don't know how you could have held yourself we would have wet ourselves. We love reading all your adventures and the pictures are fantastic. Looking forward to your next amazing instalment. Love you lots ,miss not seeing you when we see your mum, but we know that this is a trip of a lifetime and you will always have fond memoreis that you will treasure for the rest of your life. Like to wish you a merry christmas and bestwishes for the new year lots of love from Nanny Valerie & Grandad Arthur xxxx |
| 6th December 2007 mum v | whoose been taking the piss - From: Brisbane to Cairns Sorry girls but I couldn't stop laughing when I read about the so called sleep walker weeing all over poor Lucy's clothes. That is just soo unbelievable. Then hearing about the bus windows being smashed and a nutty girl on it... Then reading about you coming across a Dingo while going to the toiet. How did u manage to keep calm by crossing your arms and staring it out? I think I would have been crossing my legs and probably scream.. ..Then reading more problems when the tide came in and you couldn't leave the campsite and when you did you got stuck in the sand. Also Sam losing her bikini bottoms...You certainly have made me laugh reading this. You will all be able to look back at this and giggle at all these events. On a good note I bet it was great having Lucy join you and being able to pat the cute little Koala bears. Just reminds me of my little Koala teddy bear. Can't wait for your next adventure :) Lots of luv Mum xxxxx |
| 6th December 2007 mum v | down under - From: Sydney - Brisbane Hi Girls! What a brilliant time you have been having. I would love to see all what you have seen. Glad you both enjoyed Sydneys opera house. You will have some great memories. It must have been lovely meeting up with your brother Lee and sharing some of the best experiences ever. The beaches look out of this world. Just like what dreams are made of... Its a shame about the first hostel you stayed in. The people must have thought their luck had changed when you two arrived. cleaning and shopping as well as sorting out the breakfasts for them.I am glad u managed to find a nice place to stay in when you moved on and enjoyed the food. Theres nothing worse then not enjoying your food. What an adventure canoeing surfing...looking forward to the next instalment. love Mum V xxx |

| 16th October 2007 mum | - From: New Zealand - North Island Hello Sam & Sam I'm glad to hear you were both getting free food hopefully this is helping you with your money...Sam you are such a dare devil ,that must have been an amazing experience but oh so frightening jumping off the sky tower. I agree with your Mum though.. be careful :) I'm glad you finally got to see some penquins, ahh they look sooo cute. Was you able to touch them? I do envy you all these wonderful things you have been doing and seeing.... I am not so sure about going through dark caves in the freezing cold but it must have been lovely seeing all the bright lights from the glow worms. eerie but exciting....I can't imagine digging holes on a beach and getting hot water, I would think it is very good for the skin. I remember when we went to Turkey we went to a place that had mud baths and that smelt like rotten eggs too, but I remember my skin feeling very soft afterwards...so who knows...Great pics! carry on enjoying yourselves. love u lots mum V xxxxxxx |
| 16th October 2007 mum | sky divers - From: New Zealand - South Island Hi girls wow! what can I say - New Zealand - I can't believe how much you managed to do there.

They must have been incredible experiences especially jumping out an aeroplane at a fantastic speed. oh my goodness! the thought of it scares me..... I know I could never do it. so I am so so proud of you both. I love all your pictures. That must have been great going to a bar where everything is made of ice. I can see you were both wearing coats. Was it really cold ? Did you both warm up once you started to dance? I was pleased to hear that you met up with some people and was sharing your experiences with. I hope they were able to help you plan your next journey. Its good to swap tales and get helpful hints. can't wait to see your next adventure.
