How Do Hey up Matty
Amusing as ever. Dutty fwds the link to me - stick me on your list
Life’s never simple; most folk go to the supermarket (F&E!), buy food and go home. With you a trip to the supermarket turns into an adventure! Crap analogy but you dig the idea
Since the marathon, me and dut have put on a bit of timber but its been a bad winter and you can never be too careful..
Keep havin’ fun and my advice is don’t come back, I’m bored sh*tless
seriously...? hahaha.... i think you should make it a rule that you never ever go on ski lifts again!! reminded me of the mountain climb in pucon... except you didn't squish any kids then... lol. take care xxx
I have only been to the Yucatan peninsula, where blue margarita's are served by waitresses on roller skates, wearing orange hotpants! Glad you survived to tell the tale tho !
I am just on my day off (thank god for Fridays) and just checking my emails to make sure my Paul Weller tickets have been booked. They have. Great, summat else to look forward to. Don't know about you but im realy feeling the January blues, its just horrid here. Its freezing and wet so it makes you want to shut the door when you come home from work and batten down the hatches. Which in turn means that your life goes on hold until you see that singular daffodil pop up in your garden !! I suppose that is why I have been looking at holiday brochures .... we are on St Lucia at the mo but there are so many lovely places in the world its hard to choose.
Oh god and ive just turned the tele on and that annoying programme 'loose women' is on. Did you ever see it when you were here? its 4 cackling women moaning about men and weight and just the most silly things that no-one is interested in... mind you ...sounds like a saturday afternoon at Clare Bebb's !!!!! he he aaah Michelle and I go and see the 3 amigo's (Debbie R , Karen and Clare) about 3 times a year on a saturday afternoon and it is a bit like that. Until the red wine has run out and the only thing to do is put the music on and start dancing, much to the horror of our 11 year old daughters cringeing "muuum stop being so random!!" as we do our 'dancing queen' moves yet again!!!! Good times !
Anyway, enough already. It sounds you are still having a great time
over there, keep writing and stay safe.

You should write a book.... Matt, can't believe it... hope you're ok. Crazy stuff, but i'm glad you choose to go to places like that anyway- life would be very boring if we never took any risks! That said- no more photos of ladies! lol. Seriously though, glad you got back to the US safe and sound. I've decided you should write a book about your travels, I for one, would definitely buy it! Chat soon. xxx
its really hard when you go skiing, anyone who hasn't done it would not know how much it takes out of your body eh Matt?!?! And the same people wouldn't understand how you can't wait to get back up the slopes when you have gone home. Despite my bruised ego, ass and many other injuries I would go back tomorrow!!
Licence to Travel Thanks! I really enjoyed your writings. I try to find people who are humorous or creative in their "ramblings." A lot of the writers on Travel Blog write short excerpts where they "tell" rather than "show" the scene (a fault I often find myself in as well) and reading can be tedious. Your blogs are one of the most well written blogs I have come across. How long does it take you to write a piece? Do you do much editing after the first draft?
Yup, my parents commercial fish in Alaska during the summer season and that is enough to carry them through the rest of the year. This freedom gives them the ability to travel, and my parents love to travel! (They also hate Alaska in the winter, so it is a form of escape in many respects).
I am off to Peru in about five or six weeks (I have yet to commit to the plane ticket--trying to avoid seeing 1500 sucked from my bank account for as long as possible) and I hope to travel around SA as much as possible. I, too, am trying to escape these awful Fairbanks winters. :)
Happy ramblings............Mel
Happy Christmas Good Day Matt we just wanted to wish you all the very best for xmas and the new year, read your blog and you seem to be having a ball in the U.S, looks like it was a great move for you, we are going home next august for steves mums 80th, our Lee is going to with a couple of mates for the cricket!!! he's having a ball at the moment too, Laura split up with luke, she was very unhappy for a while but it looks like he wants her back, i hope she gives him the drop-kick my self, but who am I to say what she should do (only the bloody mother!!). Maybe one day we will catch up again but so glad things are going well for you now, lots of love Lynn steve lee and laura xxxxx
Well deserved break, your life is one well deserved break. I know you may work hard but you certainly know how to party. I am not jealous honestly.
Lots of Love
Michelle
New years greetings Matty
Happy New Year to you from myself and Kate. Greatly envious of you has I can see you are having a great time.
Problems at this end with the England cricket captain which needs to be sorted out. The football is going to plan except for Norwich who are at the bottom end of the championship..
Kate is now retired with me, and we are realy enjoying our retirement.
Lovely to read your blogs, but not sure about the excess stubble.
All the very best
Terry and Kate

Hey Piggie Hi Matty have to say Hello and comment on your 'porky'' midriff as shown in one of you most recent 'photos !
See you still have not learnt any contrition to all the rules the rest of us obey ?
Seasons Greetings
Great entry! Great blog entry.....Jeffrey and I are so proud to be part of your first Thanksgiving in America. We are so lucky to have you as a neighbor and even more blessed to know you as a friend. BTW, your invite to Thanksgiving dinner was NOT contingent on oven space... you were welcome all along, I thought you were going out of town (that is what Phil said..). Also, I thought your brother's name was John...who is Jerry?
Next time I will ring youon the tele before knocking on your door and finding you in your undies...HAHA!
HECTIC PIG Seem to have forgotten about the aching limbs..................what a brilliant weekend and really good to see you Hectic Pig (metal pig / matt). Great photo's and I seem to have a few additional pic's on my camera of a rabi type fella when you took my camera back to the hotel. Again great to see you and with a bit good luck will head over to LA in the new year. Cheers Dude PS. Great poo story
Nipple Bleeding. Damn, forgot about the nips and as for the bed sharing..... My mother reads this as well too you know. But as i said you all did brilliantly. Cheers kid.
It seems a hell of a long time ago since I returned, May '07, from my mid life crisis inspired voyage of discovery, adventure, mystery and God knows what else that was my six month sabbatical ! Now preparing to start again in Long Beach, Ca with a new job in May '08. Read all about it here and don't forget, leave a message. ... full info
