| 12th September 2007 Ann | The Finale - From: Hong Kong Finale And now. the end is near, I've travelled each and every highway..........Can't believe we will be seeing you on Friday. Savour every last moment of your trip. Sounds like you have had a wonderful time, wonder how much of it you can actually remeber now. Hong Kong is amazing, but you can get fed up with it very quickly, can they fit any more shops into the place. Thanks for looking after Aaron on his birthday, sorry you will have to spend yours in dear old blighty, but the company will more than make up for it I'm sure. Love Annxxx |

I've been very productive at work today and spent the day catching up on your blogs. Sounds like you're having a fantastic time and i can't wait to catch up with you! Can't wait to compare our experiences - i glad you enjoyed Loas (told you its an amazing place). Hope you enjoy your final leg. Give me a call when you get back! speak soon. Kieran xx |
| 12th September 2007 Paschal Sheeran | Captain Slog - From: Ireland's Island Adventure Captain Slog. Star Date:- 10/09/2007. Time:- 13:00hrs. Mission:- To be able to write something funny!! Something funny……Well, that’s me done!!…………just kidding. Hi Vicky & Aaron, You are almost at the end of your travels, leaving you both with a fading tan and photographs, but the memories you will be able to keep forever. I have read some of the blog, and the bit’s I have missed your dad has told me all about. The whole article will be very interesting to read, once complete. You seem to have had a great time, although I was a bit surprised that the………er……camper van? (the one you hired in Australia from someone who seems to be a bit like Del Boy!!), actually made it off the forecourt. Regards, Paddy. |
| 10th September 2007 Dad | See you soon (in cold wet Manchester) - From: Ireland's Island Adventure Glad you took the sensible option and stayed off the moped/quad bike. Enjoy the last leg of your journey in Hong Kong. See you on Friday Dad xx |
| 9th September 2007 Ann | Lager louts!! - From: Ireland's Island Adventure Can't believe you've been encouraging my son to drink on street corners!! If he knows he can save money he'll be standing outside the Queens Head in Frodsham with a can of beer, watching the football through the window!! Tell him to stop sponsoring Everton and to buy Carlsberg instead. Take care, can't wait to see you both SOON. Annxxx |
| 3rd September 2007 Thom | - From: Monkeys and Leeches You've used the "small berry" version of 'currant' - which I only mention because of the limitless amusement I enjoyed from reading the phrase "crystal clear water behind with a strong small berry and a rope swing." Yes, I do dwell on the insignificant! Furthermore: ew, leeches! |
| 30th August 2007 Ann | Buddah - thought you were talking bout Allen - From: Oh My Buddha! Like you I'm not having any luck with computers at moment, posted a note on Aaron's site and it disappeared into the ether at the press of a button!!# Glad you're still enjoying yourselves and you have met up with a great group of people - it really does make a difference having nice people around you. You both look a bit thin at the moment, think I might try this five months round the world diet!!! Love to you both Annxx |
| 29th August 2007 Jayne | Chang!!!!! - From: Oh My Buddha! Keith is loving your photo of the tour guide in his Chang top! Shame you Evertonians have to go so far to find a kindred spirit!!! See you both soon, Jayne xxxx (ps fab photos Vicky) |
| 27th August 2007 Nana | Short note from Nana - From: Two nights in Bangkok (too many...) Hi Vicky! So glad you are enjoying yourselves. Julie and I had a few days in London and saw a couple of shows. We are at your house now; Finley loves your garden and the cats. Can't wait to see you again. Enjoy the rest of your trip! Love Nana XXXXX |
| 24th August 2007 Mum | Tranquility gone? - From: Two nights in Bangkok (too many...) Bangkok seems a bit of a nightmare after the lovely Luang Prabang - at least you are getting a cultural variety on your trip, tho'! Can't believe you'll both be home in about 3 weeks! Take care, Loads of love, Mum XXX |
| 15th August 2007 Marc | - From: Plain of Jars Hi. Phonsavan looks really interesting and the scenery is really nice. Scary about the unexploded bombs though, and some of the things at the market! Glad to hear you recovered most of the blog entries. See you soon, Marc. |

| 13th August 2007 Jayne | Seasoned travellers! - From: Slow boat on the Mekong Hi Vicky. Wow, you two are really doing the back pakcing bit now aren't you?? The boat journeys sound basic, but a real experience. Imagine what'd be in the water if you fell in ????uurrghhh!

| 11th August 2007 Mum | Scary-esque journey! - From: Slow boat on the Mekong You're certainly having loads of adventures. Just read Aaron's blog and found out the first hostel was also home to some slugs. Don't know how you coped! Well done anyhow! Loads of love, Mum XXX |

| 29th July 2007 Heather | mmm rainy - From: Melaka Ironically it's sunny outside for a change. It sounds quite romantic having a thunderstorm in a hot country - a bit like Casablanca except with backpacks.

| 28th July 2007 Mum | Ele-phantastic! - From: Melaka You two sound like well seasoned travellers now! Glad that everything is going well in Asia. Looking forward to hearing about your exploits in the jungle! Loads of love, Mum XXX |
| 25th July 2007 Marc | - From: Melaka Hi. I hope it turns out to be good now you have had a chance to have a proper look around. The four hour bus journey sounds tough! The sugarcane juice sounds unusual, there must be a lot of food there you haven't tried before. |

| 3rd July 2007 Pauline | Glad you arrived in Melbourne. - From: The Campervan Diaries from Sydney, NSW (Friday 22nd June) to Melbourne, Vic (Saturday 30th June) You poor girl you must be fed up getting wet.

| 2nd July 2007 Mum | I want a wombat! - From: The Campervan Diaries from Sydney, NSW (Friday 22nd June) to Melbourne, Vic (Saturday 30th June) So relieved that you're both safe at Melbourne now - glad we didn't know the full scale of your adventures while they were taking place!

| 25th June 2007 Michelle | Soooo exciting! - From: Rocky Waters Hey Vicky, am sorry to say i've been unbelievably rubbish at keeping up with your travels. Had a quick read throught this evening and it all sounds so good! Keep enjoying yourself, will try and send you an email shortly. Michelle xxxx |
| 25th June 2007 AJ & Kate | - From: Rocky Waters We are on Gerg's laptop catching up with your Australia news. Kate usually prints them off for Nana and I to read so it's the first time I've logged on to your blog myself. Some of the photos are amazing what a wonderful experience for you both! Kate's boyfriend has just gone to Thailand for two weeks to meet up with his brother, so don't forget to say hi if you bump into him!!! He has e-mailed Kate some photos and it looks amazing - the sea is crystal clear and the weather is really hot. (Kate has just said that you may already be there, so sorry if I'm telling you what you already know!). Nana and I have just booked a four-day trip to London in August. I am going to try to see the Ghurkin building so hope Aaron is not too jealous. Not sure how that sight would compare to the sights you have seen! Have really enjoyed keeping up with details of your RTW trip and look forward to your next entry. Can't wait to see you when you get back - which won't be that long now! Take care, love to you both AJ and Kate xxxx |

| 14th June 2007 Ann Lowry | brrr just like home! - From: Australian Catch-up Glad to hear you arrived safely. Quite a journey eh. Sorry to hear it's so cold over there, thought their winter might have been like our late spring and very pleasant - looks like your bag is going to weigh a bit more on the way home, though you'll probably jettison everything when you get to Asia. Enjoy the rest of your journey and keep writing. Give Aaron a big kiss from me.xxxxx |
| 14th June 2007 Mum | Keep warm! - From: Australian Catch-up Seems strange to think you're in Australia and feeling colder that we are! The weather here has been pretty good but is now deteriorating to heavy rain - hope you didn't wish it on us! Hope to speak soon, Love Mum XXX |

| 8th June 2007 Gem | - From: Little Britain It sounded like you had a great time in the States, I hope Oz is just as good :-). I am intrested in seeing your hair cuts, although the fact that it was a trainee and free scares me a little. Its sooo cool that you sae Buffy's house too. Gem xxx |

| 3rd June 2007 Thom | - From: City of Hills I didn't notice any significant typos, so I suspect you were just drunk enough to counter the influence of the rubbish keyboard. Good show! Last two exams of my degree this week. Have lots of fun on my behalf :) |
