Dear all, It's been weeks since I last wrote and although I am not writing from an exotic location I thought that it was about time to let you all know how I am doing. Coming back has been easier than I thought it would be in some respects and some other small things have taken a huge amount of getting used to!! I am now back at work teaching at a Special Needs school and although I was exhausted for the first few days I am now back into a routine and to be honest it already feels as though [View Full Entry]

Dear all, Can you believe it, tomorrow we will have been home for a week. Life has been a busy of mixture of visiting people and sorting our lives out! We have been up to Huddersfield to visit family and we have now managed to buy a car. Things in the UK don't seem to have changed too much. Someone should have warned me that there are a load of new pictures on coins...I nearly accused two people of trying to give me foreign money!! Asda still make very good hedgehog bread and it tastes especially good with marmite on it! [View Full Entry]

Me and the lads...
Me and the lads...
We have just passed!
Dear all, It has only been two days since I last wrote but life has pretty hectic. After my last blog about passing my Instructor exams Dan and I went out and partied with the three lads that were on my course. It was a messy night as neither of us have had any alcohol in weeks, but after so much studying and then the three days of exams I felt like a huge weight had been lifted from my shoulders and it was so nice to relax! We were up bright and early the next morning and our heads did [View Full Entry]

Dan and I
Koh Tao
Yes......I did it!!!

Dear all, Its been weeks since I last wrote, but in the last few weeks I have been building up to my biggest achievement of the whole trip. I mentioned that I have been studying. Three weeks ago I began my Instructor Development Course which got me ready for my exams. Three days ago the Padi Examiners arrived on the island and I sat theory exams, standards exams and then they watched me in the sea and the swimming pool...and this morning I passed! So I am now a Padi diving instructor! My weakest subject was diving physics and Dan spent [View Full Entry]

Dear all, Its been ages since I last wrote and I am now on the other side of the world..this is what has been going on...... After our six nights in LA we got to LAX airport only to find out that our flight was delayed by two hours. I am starting to feel as though I have seen enough airports and spent enough money on coffee in airports! Also I have been through enough airport security lines to last me a lifetime! Dan and I really enjoyed our time in LA and we would love to come back. We did [View Full Entry]

Rodeo Drive
Dan
Small World Ride

Dear all, Dan and I arrived safely in LA 3 hours before we left. We picked up our hire car which only had 56 miles on the clock and then managed to drive to our hotel without getting lost. If you saw the roads around here you would know that not getting lost is a huge achievement each time we go out! On our first evening we drove into the Mexican area of LA and had some Mexican food. This was not planned, we just found it when driving but as we are no longer going to Mexico it felt like [View Full Entry]

Dan on the red carpet

Dear all, Here I am in Fiji! Yes I am in paradise and so you would think that I would be feeling blissfully relaxed..but sadly it was not to be! We flew in two weeks ago and after spending two nights in Nadi we went down to the Coral Coast. We stayed in a room in the village of Korotogo. For the first three days we hired a car as there was some diving that we wanted to do which was a couple of hours away. So we drove to Pacific Harbour and did a days diving on Shark Reef in [View Full Entry]

Dear all, Its been ages since I last wrote, Matt has been and gone and we are heading off to Fiji in the morning. Anyway this is what we have been up to.... On our way back to Auckland to pick up Matt we went via Kaikoura. Our main reason for going back to Kaikoura was to see the Sperm whales as our previous trips had been cancelled as the whales were not around. We got up at six in the morning and went out on the 7am boat..but no whales! No dolphins either! Sadly our time had run out as [View Full Entry]

Matt...Bungeeeeee
Sunset

Dear all, Two days ago I celebrated my birthday. We were supposed to be going whale watching but sadly the sperm whales had moved too far out to find food and so the trip was canceled. Instead we went to the beach and watched the wild seals. In the afternoon we went to a cave which was discovered years ago by some people digging in a quarry. The cave is millions of years old and used to be under sea level. The next day we went back to try again with the whales but they were still too far out for [View Full Entry]

In the cave..millions of years old

Dear all, On Thursday we said our goodbyes to Ken and got our flight to Auckland in New Zealand. It was sad to leave him but as we are meeting him in Fiji in four weeks he is not totally rid of us yet and there was no need for tears. We arrived in the evening and made our way to our room feeling very tired. Unfortunately we couldn’t sleep as it was strange to be in a different place after four weeks on Ken’s floor and we were now thirteen hours ahead of the Uk!! So when the alarm went [View Full Entry]
