From my death bed! - From: Rocky Mountain Hi
Matty, I may be on my death bed, but even I know that when you're eating and drinking with strangers and suddenly get dizzy and start vomiting, it's often called the Date Rape Drug!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In other news I have pleurisy, that is inflammation of my lungs, it's not very pleasant and according to my boss if I'd have got this 70 years ago I'd be dead right now! Cheery thought for a monday morning!!!!! As for not wearing a shirt.....even Mitch wears a jumper when he goes swimming....oh that's right...that wasn't a jumper, it was back hair! My mistake!!!! Going back to the doctor's today for another course of antibiotics!! marg - good to see you are still in the honeymoon stage of the relationship and get excited seeing Matty's manly chest....BWAH!

Be safe, be happy. Let's make sure we keep in touch! Sorry about that altitude sickness. Shoulda warned you to drink more water, less wine. Next time.

Hi ya champ, how’s things? Marg has shown me some of your pics from Aspen and they look absolutely breathtaking……so I can’t imagine what you see from your end! Not much longer now until you have another visitor :-) she is busting to see you. Take it easy, be careful, have fun, keep warm and keep of talking to strangers. Smiles, Karen.

Yes I read comments! - From: 'Lost' In Hawaii.. Goodbye Sunshine!
I'm sure Marg goes nuts over my manly chest.. but IT'S A BEACH. I'm sure concepts such as 'hot' and 'warm' beaches are unknown in New Zealand but normally at such places there is no need for jumpers or shirts. Haha.. I love that you're a Kiwi - makes my life oh-so-easy. Thanks for the amusing comments!!!

Do you not read the comments column? - From: 'Lost' In Hawaii.. Goodbye Sunshine!
What have Katie and I been telling you about the shirtless photos!? HUMPH? No more!!! I understand Marg might love your manly chest but could you just email her those photos so me and KT don't have to be tortured! HA HA HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sounds like you're having fun!!! PS Can't believe you watch that Crap show Lost. It should be renamed Slow!

Wedding dates - From: Aloha! Breakfast In America
Matty I was going to try and wait for you to come back before tying the knot but I've just seen your itinerary again and realised I'll probably be 40 before you come home!!! $0 year old bride, not a good look! Come home early (Marg paid me to say that!)

OMG Katie, I'm just laughing so hard Putting up with Matt's bad moon!!!! ROOOOAR!!!!

Matt don't forget to include pics of your bad moon so I'm not the only one left traumatised.

Right! - From: Aloha! Breakfast In America
What do I have to do to get a mention in your blog Matt? Morb already thinks she's queen of the world now she's wearing an asteroid on her finger. Surely months of putting up with you in a bad moon at 5:30am is worth something to even things up?!?!!?

"TALK" to strangers - From: Aloha! Breakfast In America
I smile every time I read through your blogs Matt, you are having so many adventures along this journey of yours. I don’t normally say this but it’s only viable when traveling and you seem to be doing a good job of it anyway………”keep talking to strangers” they are the ones help you along the way. Take it easy matey.

Good thing you left when you did - From: Sleepless In Suva
Just in case you didn't hear things in Suva have got a bit worse than when you were there. Even New Zealand has a fleet of ships on stand by if things get out of hand. Australia has issued a travel warning for Suva....I think they've been trying to get rid of the prime minister. Anyway hope you're enjoying Samoa more!

Fiji -where to go - Tavuni is. - From: Sleepless In Suva
Three years ago I amde last minuet booking to the Taveuni island lodge on Taveuni ios. - I was greatly happy because I got teh greta rate (for this hotel) - 250 dollars all incl., the island was indeed inetrestinmg - greta nature - so many kind of coconut plams covering area from the shore up to teh hills - looks really nice; number of waterfalls; teh date line on teh island, which is quite big - ca. 20km long and only 2000 inhabitants; uninhabited islands hopping and very nice accomodation and residence companions in the hotel + fine food,terrific tropical forest walks with very unusual fauna and surely laid back and pleasant people.When I stayed two days in Nadi on main island in what is now Westin Denarau, that was complete antithesis to what the sTaveuni is. is I learnt that unless you are on very high budget, and even not always in these cases, you get no value. Taveuni is. in between by the budget required, and however they have now much higher rataes, it still good value.

You're 300 hits on your site is prob my fault - From: Sleepless In Suva
Yeah I have no life!!! I've looked at your site probably about that many times...so don't feel too popular!!! You've absolutely inspired me to stay away from Suva and Fiji. Heard Samoa is not much better! You actually write quite well Mattykins. Maybe when you're done you should turn your blog into a book!

For a good time call 040.... - From: Where The Bloody Hell Are Ya??
Saturday 9pm...3 bottles of champagne, 3 wines, orgasmic melting moments (care of tandy) 1 bottle of Absolut Vanilla and cranberry, Karen, Rochelle, Tandy and Marg been watching (= drooling over) Robbie Williams dvd yet again - if only Krista could have stayed longer. Matt you can't be surprised this is just normal for us, you're probably happy you are 1000s of miles away... The girls said jetski are overrated and said for marg not to worry about buying the jocks instead - you're not going to need them at Christmas time!! hehehe - The girls mean no disrepect Ma Howe & Matt's Ma!!!

Feeling quite nausated by all this lovely jubley romance talk - From: Where The Bloody Hell Are Ya??
It's quite revolting how in looooove you sound!!!! HA HA!!! As for getting a jet ski....they are soon to be banned, and there won't be very many places you can ride them! So suggest that Marg..sticks with getting you socks and undies! RAH!

- From: Where The Bloody Hell Are Ya??
Hi ya matey, well that was torture hearing all about your adventures but you have made me add another place to my list of “must see places in the world”. While you were drinking corona’s your girl and I were drinking hot chocolate at starbucks! But I couldn’t think of doing anything else than spending time with our girl……you aren’t the only one that has a dose of love sickness. Enjoy your travels, keep safe and have an absolute ball. Take it easy mate.

Taking a leaf outta my book - From: Lost In Translation (AKA The French Connection)
Good to see you've got some sad stories to share Mattykins!!! Hope you've still got the digital camera....and did you remember to get travel insurance this time? Otherwise KT will have to have words with you. Don't forget to get KT and I soveneirs (preferably eatable ones) from every stop! Don't care if you have to sell your body to do it! :)

Listen up Textbook Teddy - From: Leaving Home (The Boring Know It All Intro)

OMG MATTTYYYYYYYY!!!! Just when I was about to say...what about your Dubbo mates, there's a picture of me...admittedly not a very good one. I take back all the evil thoughts I was thinking. Hope you have a fantastic time.....Sorry you won't be in Oz when I come over to visit in Feb/March. Was thinking of paying the craphole a visit....Well I am dying of bronchitis at the moment and at work, and totally green with envy that it's not me that's going!!! If you get too homesick just think of me, you legs and jam....you won't wanna come back! Take care and don't accept sweeties from strange men!
